im not sure if this has been mentioned, but the stream and browser feels a bit overwhelming.

To start with i dont see separation factory content just packs, but are they AA or Factory? Also i wish there was to download in bulks, whole pack or factory content. Im missing that.

This button looks like a download icon if you haven't downloaded the factory content. Clicking it will download all factory packs.

If you then switch to "Local" you will only see the factory sounds.

Same here.

AS A PRESET HATER I think the presets are real fun and full of excellent sound design, and the synth's workflow is really well designed so it's easy to manipulate the presets I don't like into something cool pretty easily.

That's the "check online status/resync" button.

There's an option in the menu just to the left of that to install factory content.

Yeah if you are buying for the presets... It is more a bet on the future... (on my very subjective opinion)...

That being said, however "still" imperfect Current is, it is not difficult to see that it has a very high potential... Clearly it is a great synth, maybe not for the GAS-oholic of KVR who already have Serum, Spire, Phase Plant PIgments or Dune, but clearly, Current is in the same ballpark and seems to be at the center of Minimal Audio - a small but dedicated company - strategy.
So I am quite pretty sure than soon, a ton of high quality presets will arrive... I don't think you take too much risk on betting on this in the future.
Another point is that MA wants to convince us to take the rent to own, because of the content being added, I am pretty sure a ton of content will arrive to choose from...
Yes, I am convinced about the potential too...

Minmial Audio was so kind to correct my error with buying the yearly plan instead of the free trial... very nice!
It´s a great company to deal with and they wrote in the mail as well that they will soon release packs for different styles... so I will keep my eyes open even if I got the majority of what you named but Current does some well thoughtout tricks which makes it very appealing to me as well as the very nice RTO plan as I always planned to buy the for me lacking plugins anyway...

The more I use this the more impressive it gets. however I am wondering if some presets are locked in some way.

Changed a few things in the aligned suspicions preset and in the sampler the fade out seems to not work. Anyone else see this behaviour (it is fine with Init)

Overall I can see myself getting this though

Thanks. The presets shouldn't be locked in any way for anyone right now because everyone is either on the All Access plan or the perpetual option with a free year of All Access. The free trial is the same as well.

I think it was mentioned earlier but you can see what you own by looking for the checkmark icon next to packs and the search area. Anything with the AA (All Access) icon is not owned perpetually.

The sampler fade out control becomes disabled when you're using a loop mode because it really only makes sense in one-shot mode (which in turn has crossfade disabled). If that's not what you're seeing let us know!

I uninstalled and reinstalled only factory presets, but some but not all contents of AA stuff got installed too.
Is this expected? Does the factory include selected wavetables/samples etc from some AA banks?

I'm toying with purchasing a perpetual license, just put off by the limited number of usable presets. Would be good to see the factory library increased with far more diversity without having to purchase future packs.

Huh, weird. Maybe its behavior changed? When I downloaded the latest version a couple of days ago that button was a download symbol that triggered the factory content download. And then it turned into this. I think.

If you click the image art of any pack, it will bring you to a pack view where there is the option to download all

Hey -- yes the factory content contains some credited content from the AA packs in the samples right now. We'll be adding pack views and be making a lot more changes to the stream now that there is this new connection between user's accounts on the website and inside Current. -- allow you to drag out credited sound, sync favorites & downloads across devices, etc..

For now, you can click the checkmark to view your credited content, we're improving the pack feed and designing new pack views as well, and well make it clearer on the individual rows of the browser the content status. Still a lot of work for us to do on it -- feedback is welcome!
