Ujam Usynth sale, $19 each... any of these any good? I listened to some demos of a few these and didn't like them iirc. Don't remember which ones though. End date is February 27th on Plugin Boutique.

[Ou_Tis]

On Usynth: "you can’t edit the patterns or (as far as I could see) export the MIDI produced by a pattern for subsequent editing within your DAW." yikes---maybe the sale is setting us up for paid upgrades to Usynth 2, which features the amazing new feature of... letting you edit the sequencer patterns and export them as midi?

OTOH perhaps these are actually prerecorded audio loops, and the randomize function on the sequencer just chooses one of several prerecorded options or rearranges their audio?

[robelanator]

I have several Ujam's virtual guitar / virtual bassist plugins which I think are fair value when they're on sale for $19. They have the same limitations on pattern presets as their Usynths do, but I just use them as instruments and sequence them externally.

For synthesizer sounds, though, I think Analog Lab V and IK Multimedia's Syntronik 2 are a much better value at their sale prices ($99).

But Virtual Guitarist Carbon and the version 2's of the others let you use midi drag and drop for the patterns. Granted, with guitars the midi patterns usually don't sound as good as prerecorded pattern. The Usynth documentation suggests there's an actual fully-featured synth engine in there, so it's not just prerecorded audio, which would make the limitations on editing and midi drag and drop just bizarre... unless they plan on upselling to an upgrade with "advanced" options to edit them a bit more.

Unfortunately, when I tried to buy, I did not receive the automatic discount. Maybe that was only for January?

It was a single weekend deal - there was another one in the Black Friday weekend.

Yes. They told me there will be another sale soon, I'll buy then.

Does anyone think Best Service will do a crossgrade promotion or a 2 for 1 again?

I missed the holiday sales and I have Celtic ERA 2, so a crossgrade promotion would be ideal. I want to get Dark ERA.

Gave it another whirl and, while I'm not at all familiar with MIDI generating tools, it strikes me as one that offers enough real time control to make it interesting to me (given the price), as a fun interactive toy (that may easily lead to happy accidents).

Better put: Rhythmizer Ultra is a tool that adds MIDI to the input (a single sustained note can suffice) for harmonic / rhythmic / or even melodic effect.
Not automagically: you control [the probabilistics of] pitch [bend], rhythm, note length, velocity.

You're not bound to [custom] scales either, as there's a mode that lets you select the intervals of the added notes, and the probability of them being triggered.

Its LFOs are really useful.
And as I hinted at, there's lots of probabilistics.
Also, there's a Loop button.

The GUI is resizable.

---
But, like I said, I'm not familiar with truly generative plugins, so maybe some of those can do these tricks too, i wouldn't know.

[Uncle E]

I believe the other plugins that can do those tricks are all step sequencers. Rhythmizer is the first one I've seen that does it to your live playing.

Is the UAD bundle at Plugin Boutique for £67 + free PolyMAX synth as great a deal as it looks?

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product ... sic-Bundle

[VitaminD]

That's a bundle they should have offered for 50 or less back during their months long Black Friday deal imo.

But, to answer your question, it is a great deal if you find it to be a great deal. Like always I'd download a trial license and try them for yourself to see if they are worth your money to you.
