Carbon Electra 2 – VST3/AU/AAX – Musical Synth with Wave Terrain Oscillators

[wagtunes]

Okay, I have no idea what to do. I bought Carbon Electra in 2017 from VST Buzz. I still have the email receipt. Problem is, they moved and are now Audio Plugin deals, which I also have an account with. But they don't have a record of my Carbon Electra purchase. How can I get my discount if nobody has a record of my purchase?

I think back then PluginBoutique was the only shop to sell it, so I’m guessing you got a discount code you redeemed via PB. Try checking your account there.

Thanks. That did it. But what a convoluted process.

don't suppose it loads v1 presets?

don't think so, different engine/beast, but you can keep the OG alongside Carbon Electra 2

It doesn't, I asked them, unfortunately it's a completely different engine based off the original, but there is no backwards compatibility at all.

Can’t get the serial to work. Nothing happens when I press activate or try to start a free trial so no idea what it can do atm. I’m on a Mac btw

Go to '/Users/[Your user name]/Library/Scaler Music'

If that folder exists create a folder called "Carbon Electra 2" (Without the quotes but with Cpaitals and spaces) and relaunch the plugin.

That sorted it, thanks

I always find in any VST synth, only one of every 10 presets are suitable for my taste. I will buy a VST only if there are at-least 10 presets per dollar I spend. So for $ 100 VST, I expect 1000 presets.
Just my view.

i personally invested a ton of time in my own patches in version 1, and purchased all of the commercial ones.
I also spent a fair bit of time emailing back and forward with Elliot the developer, getting the hang of the shortcuts behind the scenes to rename and re-categorise all my presets. I put hours into it. The fact that version 2 cannot load v1 presets is a bit of a kick in the balls really. based on this experience I doubt i'll upgrade.

So you don’t like to program your own sounds?

If there is, it's not obvious on the Scaler website.

I caved and bought the upgrade. Happy to take a punt if the price is right.
Only had a brief look, but happy so far. I like the UI and think its tone will complement what I already have rather than overwhelm.

I also couldn' find a demo.

You need to have a Scaler account and you will find all the demos there, not obvious at all. Only CC payment aswell

This actually sounds very good. Not a fan of the unison with the plosive attacks though. That reminds me of early 2000s synths. Could use an oscillator phase control switch.

you can find that in the general settings:
