Hi,
LittleOne has just been updated to version 3.2.5. This update introduced a fix / correction for the Preset Load and Save buttons. Now they work correctly with the 2x GUI.

2 problems with little one 3.2.5
no init preset in factory library .there is line say "presets library" which is the init preset . when you move to next preset you can't go back to "preset library". i saved the "preset library" as init preset but every time i need to go to load it . it's not in the presets menu like all other USER presets should have.
I believe it's not just me and lot of loyalty users would like to see change in the presets menu . to load their presets from the presets menu.

Hi Amram,
an INIT preset is something that has to be called (or loaded) not very often (every time you want to make a new preset from scratch), so that's the reason for which I think not to include it among the library presets - and yu can save an INIT preset and load it manually whenever you need it, as you actually do.
And, custom presets banks is something under evluation.

I followed the conversation and the discussion about iOS compatibility. I fully agree that we (musicians, producers) are only a little number of people and don’t belong to the target customer groups of the big software companies anymore. And I am getting more and more sick of the behavior of Apple (new iOS, new processors) and would love to get rid of Apple at all.
But is there any real alternative? Linux is special and you don’t have a lot of software for it. Windows (based on my actual experience with standart office applications) is still very unstable and buggy, I have a lot of crashes even with Microsofts own software and would not risk to make music with sich a system.
And if we talk about music and live performances: You can see a lot of live acts with Mac / Mainstage, it became a state of the art solution for „non hardware“ artists, I did not see any Windows based PC on stage.
What is the best solution?

Hi jbar,
I think it is important to share some considerations about the current OSes status to understand the whole thing - and how things will proceed in the future.
Microsoft Windows is a ultra-solid OS for Workstations. The modern Windows OS (available since its introduction 20 years ago as Windows XP) is a derivative of Windows NT, a ultra-stable Kernel which has literally nothing less than Unix derivatives (including macOS, Linux) or others.
The "Windows is buggy" jingle is a wrong and false myth, due to the historical "Windows 4.0" kernel / general issues (Win 95, 98). A hard-to-die false myth, like the *totally wrong* assumption that today's x86 CPUs are CISC architectures (a nonsense spreaded by some online "journalists" with no knowledge of the matter, still today in 2020).
Windows-NT is a completely different OS, written from the ground up, which has nothing to share with the previous "sometimes buggy" Windows. (EDIT : However, it is worth mentioning that Windows 4.0 /95/98 were OSes built in a different/previous time period/context, and not for workstation-class tasks, so it was silly to expect extraordinary multi-threaded performances from them).
So Windows, macOS, Linux are all modern OSes, naturally built for Pro Multimedia Workstation-class tasks, and their kernels are solid. As a side note, unfortunately, Windows and macOS today (2020, and for the previous few years) may have some issues, but this issues are exclusively due to the missing debugging (by Apple and Microsoft) of the "new apps and features", added with each new update. From this point of view, Microsoft and Apple OSes are both prone to "potential malfunctionings", but if you keep your OS clean, this issues are reduced to zero.
Linux status is different, because the Companies behind its distros are not joining this insane game of "we will add 1000s of new apps and feaures every year (without debugging them) just to flaunt that our OS is the most complete and cool one". So, keeping it as "minimal" is something that can be accomplished more easily, with less "manual adjustment" thn Wndows and macOS.
And Linux may be the answer for the decades to come, specially for the Pro Audio world. The future of plugins is not based on the distribution of pre-compiled, proprietary file formats. About this, I would suggest an interesting thread I started here on KVRAudio several months ago :
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=534098
So my answer is : if you are an usual macOS user, you can move to Windows whenever you want and you'll find a more solid and valid ecosystem (in the passed years I had a very few macOS issues, but no Windows ones). Anything you have on macOS, you can have on Windows. For live use, there're plenty of DAWs for Windows, "monolithic" or modular ones, commercial or freeware.
For the long-term, I really wish the concept behind "SOUL" will take place in the shortest time, so we can all move on a 200 MB Linux OS distro and definitely say goodbye to any Corporaton which makes OSes with the only scope to try to collect data from the masses to feed their overstimated "AI".

Just for your fun...
From today a real-time (random) online presets generator is available here :
https://www.xhun-audio.com/site/xhun.ph ... _generator
The generator engine is at an experimental stage yet, any suggestion for further improvements is welcome.

@Amram : message received !
@Aloysius : yes, my attempt for a pervasive, subliminal mind-control of the masses... a perpetual "Expansions availability" reminder, until the last one has been sold
Seriously, every time I make an update for a product, I usually introduce also minor changes on the GUI, DSP and/or famework (very low level stuff) side. This time I'm bringing just a small code rewriting for further (possible) cross-framework compatibilty, plus (obvously) the new Expansions compatibilty.
I think the 2 new Exps are really nice. They are very different from the others (they almost don't use LittleOne rack/FXs at all, except for rare cases). They are basically vintage, raw-analogue oriented presets, designed to "unleash the power" of the analogue (modeled) components of LittleOne (with all their inherent non-linearities).

It is pronounced "zun", like "sun" with "z".
It seems the word "hun" has a lot of slang meanings I was not aware of...

And what does xhun stand for? Is it Chinese?

Not a Chinese (or any other language) word... like "Korg" or "Yamaha"
It's a "neologism", a composite word made of the conjunction of other words and meanings.

Just bought this. The installation instructions are lacking. The keyfile isn't working on the website. It won't unzip because it's corrupted in some way.
Also the installation instructions are very bad. It doesn't explain what gui 1 and 2 are, or where to put some of the files.
