Current Launch v2 - A new instrument platform by Minimal Audio

[Ou_Tis]

ha, life lesson: made 2 tracks with current, bounced them out so i could listen while i'm away this week (to see how i feel about the synth when not in front of it). so, just listened to 2 songs that are drumbeats only. the current demo (understandably) doesn't render to audio...

Combining that with the trial being time limited is shitty... after your trial runs out you won't be able to listen back in the future in case your budget opens up enough to reconsider it. For example right now I'm rushing to demo and render a bunch of reverb, EQ, and saturation tests (with various plugins) before their time limits run out so I'll have them available for future comparison.

And it's easy to circumvent using, for example, Audacity with audio loopback.

seriously, 30 days is pretty great for a demo. i have no issue with any of this (but yes, lots of ways to capture internal audio if needed).

I was under the impression that after the trial ran out, any tracks you created would still play back using current but you just couldn't make any more edits. Is that not the case?

is this so? where did you get that info? i would suspect that parts would not play,once the demo expires (but that would be great if they at least do play).

That's how it works for every plugin demo I'm aware of... and I've demoed a large number of plugins.

When my sub (original plan) expired parts continued to play as previously but the UI changed to a blank login screen. I would assume same behaviour after trial to encourage you to sign up for RTO or to buy perpetual.

Phew, thanks!

How does one uninstall this ? I can't find an uninstaller, nor does it show up in uninstall lists.

ok, so you're speculating... got it

Whereas I think most demos that I have tried go into bypass mode after the demo period has ended.
What I think was said with current is if you rto for one year, and never buy perpetual or renew, in year two your project will stay play as described and if you bought a perpetual licence but used the free access to the all access stuff before it expired, they will still play.

Just a heads up.

Minimal are doing a flash sale on all their 10 dollar soundpacks.

$1 per soundpack with code DOLLARPACK. There are 11 soundpacks for 10 bucks.

Ends today.

I grabbed them all!

Just wondering, is the option to complete the bundle time-limited or can I update at the ahem..current price at any time?

[tq]

O.k., maybe I am missing something - but is there a way to add Midi cc's to the controls somehow - at least the macro knobs? Using the mouse for this is not ideal, and I don't seem to find a way to do this - it's easy to drop modulators, but no cc?

I wondered the same thing -- especially the Macro Knobs. Checked with their Tech Support - there is not a way to do this. Since it's a plugin only (no stand-alone), Minimal assumes you'll map CC controls inside the DAW. For example with Logic, using Smart Controls. This does work ok, but my preference is to still have the ability to map CC controls inside the plugin (similar to U-He's approach).

[tq]

O.k., but it would be a minimal addition to the synth, really - just an option for cc's in the pull down menu, next to the modulators. Ah well, then I need to go the Smart Control route... Thanks for the hint!
