Announcing the launch of ULTRA

[audiojunkie]

It serves no point in arguing about it. Simply vote with your wallet. Don't buy software from vendors that care more about the pirates than the honest consumers that purchase the software. Yes, there are fewer choices, since not all vendors care more about the honest than about the pirates, but there are still a lot of choices. Buy them. When people ask why you don't buy <poorly copy protected product> you simply tell them.

I respect your ideology, but please don’t tell others what they should or shouldn’t do.

Thank you for respecting my ideology. I don't see my comment as telling others what they MUST or even SHOULD do, but rather what they CAN do if they choose to do so.

Come on, guys. Enough of copy protection.
We have knob shine to discuss.

An area of expertise of yours?

I really hope it's an option. For the price of this plugin, we need sliding knob shine adjustments.

I was considering an knob type preference.... but maybe that's a bit much!

You will be able to skin the knobs at some point

Depends on your religion I guess.

Nice synth, very clean sounding. I don't like the shiny knobs.

Or your hygiene preferences.

Simple ask...could the selected preset stay in view in the library?

Thanks for the 1.1 update - very useful additions.

A small bug - whichever modulators are attached to a destination, they become unavailable to select in the aux source drop down menu.

This makes sense if there's only one mod source attached to a parameter, but when you add multiple sources to the same parameter, all those sources become unavailable to select in any of the aux source menus of that target.

For example, add an lfo to mod a filter, then also mod the filter with the modwheel. Now, if you want to also add the modwheel to the lfo aux source it can't be chosen in the drop down menu... but, it is possible to drag and drop the modwheel to the aux source, fortunately.

This should be banned by some law

It will be, in the EU at least.

Yes, this is great. Just replace "games" with "VST instruments".

An increasing number of publishers are selling videogames that are required to connect through the internet to the game publisher, or "phone home" to function. While this is not a problem in itself, when support ends for these types of games, very often publishers simply sever the connection necessary for the game to function, proceed to destroy all working copies of the game, and implement extensive measures to prevent the customer from repairing the game in any way.

Ahh. Good spotting. We will fix that this week before it comes out of beta. Thanks!

It's even contested under GDPR that having to STAY logged in for activation purposes is not a valid excuse.
