Will denfnitly give it a try, thx

This is quite nice but why does the plugin/software have a network connection?

There's a FEEDBACK button in the lower left, that sends an email to Wavemind right from the plugin GUI window, if you have any issues/bugs, feature requests etc. It is nothing malicious.

[soundpeaks]

Thanks! It's dope!

Where are its models stored, what directory on Win?

[VELLTONE MUSIC]

I like this a lot,kind of ordering the stuff as fx chain,gives you fx line to build.
Cheers to developers

Fantastic plugin, TYSM!

Will you update it to A2 soon please?

Fantastic plugin, TYSM!

Will you update it to A2 soon please?

NAMU2 aka NAM Universal v2…It’s coming very SOON. We here at The Ampsim Universe team in collaboration with Chris from Wavemind plugins are probably on the final beta version before release.

It’s a whole multi panel suite ala the current Wavemind ampsim suite GUI structure. A total update and rewrite. We’ve thought of every quality of life improvement and enhancement. It will be better than anything paid.

-Yes, A2 support

-OVERSAMPLING from 2x to 8x

-Pedal/amp peofile, IR and 3D cab, browser/loader/database that is completely easily searchable and filterable. Once profile folders are imported they stay there unless you want to remove them easily.

-Drag and drop profile folder packs

-Assign an amp/pedal image/photo thumbnail to a folder in tbe database

-Scrolling text for long file names in the main amp GUI

-Full complete built-in midi system implementation for every parameter, including presets making it suitable for live use with any midi controller/foot controller

-Auto input profile calibration/normalization

-Pedal section with algorithmic compressor pedal, pedal profile loader/database, the Instigator module aka the Mesa MKIII eq/boost.

-Amp profile section with all amp controls plus Depth and Presence

-Full user IR and 3D cab loading section, 4 channel IR loader/blender channel strip, with all the tone shaping controls, cabinet/power amp drive saturation, oomph/sparkle, high/low cut, IR tone shift (tilt filter), panning for each IR channel. The IR blender/balance is percentage and will auto balance and normalize IR signals so there is no imbalance when using STEREO mode cab mixing. Comes with one 3D cab (Marshall 1960A with V30 and two mics, SM57/Royer 121), with the option to purchase additional 3D cab packs with more mic options. User IR searchable loader/browser.

-IntelliQ section (from the Wavemind Dave Davidson Tonesuite) for final signal path toneshaping/EQing

-Rack Post FX section with tweakable chorus unit, stereo/pingpong synced delay unit and filtering, and algorithmic reverb unit with the usual controls to do small spaces to big ambient washes.

-On the main controls there are tuner, MONO/STEREO input/output, stereo doubler tracker (haas based), and the one knob multiband compressor knobs TIGHT/SMOOTH for lows (chugs/palm mute) and highs (smoothing or de-essing ice picky highs/treble), and a global ROOM reverb knob.

-User savable Preset banks/list that can be assigned/recalled by midi for live tone preset switching

-GUI/graphics are all updated to expect and reflect Wavemind’s current amp sims. Yes tgis thing will look photorealistic sharp and sexy. Resizable interface by corner pull.

-A1 backwards compatible, but obviously the A2 models will run more efficiently with less CPU, even with 4x-8x oversampling enabled…yes, no more audible high frequency aliasing on leads and single notes etc…every note is crystal clear like a real amp. You wont want to play nam profiles without our oversampling that was implemented from now on out. I have an 11 year old stock Dell desktop that can run an A2 models with Cab IRs, with 4x-8x oversampling at 64 samples latency with no glitches/dropouts/sputters or problems at all.

And one hidden graphical/GUi mod easter egg

And the price…? Still for the low low price of completely FREE

Tyler will be doing some teasers/play throughs of it on the Ampsim Universe YouTube channel in the coming week.

We will let the KVR and Neural Amp Modeler Facebook group know as soon as it’s available for download. We are almost there.

Ouuuuh, being a major NEBULA nerd I just compared several 33609 banks against the A2 33609N currently on tone3k as final step on master bus and it's a TKO, far clearer and less lo-fi(even running 20 kernels)

had to use DUSTYTUBE as GATEWAY doesn't appear to do stereo and NAMU1 doesn't do A2.

Sadly DUSTYTUBE can't load one NAM profile per channel when running stereo, hopefully you could allow this please?

I also realize that your "IR 1.wmir" does the magic, what's in it if you don't mind me asking? And I assume that WMIR is a proprietary file format?

So A2 in theory is better than A1 but it has to be recaptured so a good A1 can still be better than a poorer A2?

And https://www.tone3000.com/tones/avalon-v ... r-052-2056 advises "If your interface has 12dBu instrument inputs: 18.86-12 = 6.86, you have to LOWER the input in NAM Plugin to -6.86 dB for the capture to sound correct.". How's that working out in NAM1 & NAM2 please?

I'll happily betatest if you like, I run BITWIG6 on W11.

[whassup]

Wow! Great news!
Thank you so much for this.

[FrettedSynth]

V2 info looks very nice, thanks metalifuxx.
Very much look forward to try, at the risk of sounding like a broken record here on KVR. Any chance it could be compiled for Linux?

NAMU2 will run A2 profiles stereo the same way NAMU1 can, it can either do STEREO IN/STEREO OUT, or MONO IN/STEREO OUT, the added benefit of A2 running lower CPU and the ability to oversample now, whether it is a pedal, amp or outboard/hardware/rack profile etc.

-The plugin/amp profile loader block will read input calibration meta data in the profile if there is any and auto calibrate it. The amp block loader will automatically normalize the output to the cabinet/IR section. The pedal profile loader will do the same auto input calibration if there is any metadata in the pedal profile, but the output will be RAW aka based on the output knob level of the pedal and if pedal profile loader is active, the amp block profile loader will bypass any input calibration on the profile metadata and just use the pedals RAW output as the input level, so you choose how hard you want to drive the amp profile when using a boost/overdrive/distortion pedal profile like a real amp. This goes for using the pedal profile loader to load a preamp rack (i.e. ADA MP1, Mesa Triaxis etc) profile and send the signal into a power amp amp block profile (Mesa Strategy poweramp/Mesa 2290 etc.).

I forget exactly what the default WMIR (WaveMind IR) "cab" is in NAMU1, but it's either Tyler's favorite IR which is based on an Engl or Egnater cabinet, or maybe one of Chris's Mesa cabs, both i think were V30 speakers. Regardless, that wont be used in NAMU2. It comes with a Marshall 1960A cabinet loaded with v30 speakers, and two mic choices (SM57 and Royer 121) which can be positioned/moved on a standard X/Y axis (Speaker cap/cone position and distance away from speaker). There is a marketplace portal inside the plugin to buy additional cabinet and mic options for the built-in 3D cabs. You can also use your own 3rd party free/commercial IRs as well. By default, the sound is muted until you either load or cab/IR or bypass the speaker section to avoid any sudden volume spikes. To use full rig profiles, simply load them like usual in the amp block loader, and then bypass the Cabinet/IR panel section.

On Tone3000 all the captures were automatically retrained to A2 using a few different methods based on if the wav data was trained on the server and still available using the trainer audio sweep method, or a wet/dry capture if the wav data was not available. So it's a 1:1 if it was any of those. It all depends on the quality of the capture method. Yes an A1 could still be better than a different capture method on the same gear, but if they were captured the same using the same data, but just retrained to A2, then it will be 1:1, the A2 version just using less CPU than the same A1 capture.

We are only doing in house/team beta testing at the moment. There will be PC/ MAC formats, AAX, and standalone for MAC/Windows, whatever the current Wavemind plugin (Tonesuite Dave Davidson/Tonesuite Distant) formats are offered. Linux I don't believe will be offered though.

Awesome, thanks!

But "STEREO IN/STEREO OUT" doesn't mean that you can specify one mono NAM A2 profile per channel, is that possible in NAMU2 please? Apparently NAM profiles are mono by design and DUSTYTUBE applies one mono NAM profile to both channels.

Oh, so .WMIR is proprietary, fair enough. I really dig "IR 1.wmir" from NAMU1 so I hope I'll be able to import it in NAMU2 if need be please?

Nice, X/Y axis for the cab mics so I can have them env.followed in BITWIG hopefully

BITWIG can be pesky, my betatesting might help iron out any issue with funky routing as I always do, as I make rubadub reggae.

It was designed for guitar amp/pedals specifically and operates like NAMU1's routing did.

However if you search the Neural Amp Modeler FB group, someone wrote a recent NAM A2 loader plugin specifically to load single mono outboard/hardware profiles into two slots (dual mono) to stereo output IIRC. I forget the name of it offhand.
*EDIT* Do a search for NeuralOutboard2 in the Neural Amp Modeler Facebook Group, I'm not sure if it's released yet though. Looks like it can load two profiles for left and right or mid/side operation. The FB group is the spot to keep track of all the latest A2 plugin/software and hardware/pedal releases. Oh also check out VZtech NAM Studio (free) released last week, it can run 2 nam A2 profiles in parallel.

No, the "IR 1.wmir" will not be able to be imported etc, but that wont stop you from loading NAMU1 just for the IR loader of that. There was initially two IRs in an early beta version that would load up by default. I think Chris took those out in place of the free 3D cab in the current version. I can inquire but i think we want users to either use that supplied 3D cab pack or their own IRs. You can always shoot an IR of that "IR 1.wmir" if you know how to convolve IRs.
