Dmitry Sches Tantra 2 is coming tomorrow

[Harry_HH]

No it isn’t.

[Boy Wonder]

It annoys me that Tantra 2 has unreadable fonts. It's especially annoying because my go-to synths are Diversion and, to a lesser extent, Thorn. Still, I gave Tantra 2 another demo and it sounds beautiful, even on plain sounds from basic synths. The 2.01 update was no help, so I'm hoping someone comes around and skins it soon.

So... as someone who liked and used v1, and really want to like v2... it's pretty much unusable at this point, because not only can I not seem to get the 2.01 update to 'take', it's now even more broken. Same unreadable text, but the resizing options now do nothing at all. It is stuck at the same size no matter what I select in the resizing menu (also I am seeing two different and competing places in the menu to select it, which is confusing, but neither of them do anything at all on my system).

So I feel like something is awry in my install, and I noticed comments here about unzipping the resources folder into Documents... but I cannot do this, as the direct link to the installer (below) on Dmitri's website leads only to the changelog. There is no download, and the installer from Plugin Alliance contains only an executable. This executable does not seem to put anything in the documents folder, so all I have is what was originally put there by, presumably, the old installer. I tried deleting the old folder, and the new plugin looks for it in the documents folder and can't find it.

I know this plugin, like (it would seem) pretty much everything PA does, was more or less abandonware from the get-go - the main reason I am stopping my Mega subscription after 3 years - but I feel like I'm missing even the admittedly questionable level of usability it is supposed to be delivering, and it's too bad because on all other levels the plugin is pretty good - sounds good, interesting feature set. Again, I want to like it, and I'd like to use it, but at the moment it's just a headache.

Does anyone have any suggestions, other than to download the resource folder at the link below, which does not work? Is there any other way to somehow trick the installer into installing the actual current version? Can anyone find another link to somewhere it can be found?

thanks...

So how the heck do you get the V2.0.1 with the reworked UI? The Plugin Alliance website only has the old V2.0 from last September.

Nice! Here is a direct link: https://dmitrysches.com/changelog-tantra

Update: Wayback machine to the rescue. Fixed and working! I did send a support message to Dmitri in the meantime so hopefully he can get the PA installer issue fixed for others.

I thought the PA installer was the latest version now?

I think it is, but apparently it isn't working for him. (Worked for me a few weeks ago).

Dmitry sorted me out promptly!

(I just saw a notification about this message so thought I'd clear it up!)
