UVI releases Synth Anthology 2

[otristan]

anyone tested it, i barely used synth antology 1 since Vintage vault, but i am very interested in V2 and the new dave smith and korg synths.

Do retailers also offer the upgrade or is it only on uvi ?

Only on UVI.net.

It looks like both versions have 9GB so where are the 500 new patches ?

Version 1 was 9GB in wav, this one is 8.22GB (FLAC lossless encoding, was 15.7GB in WAV)

Hope this clarify things.

Good spotting, got the same error in UVI Workstation:

Couldn't load the file '$Synth Anthology II.ufs/Samples/4-FM and Formant/Flutes/KS8-FunnyPipe/...

Forwarded to our sound team.
Thanks for the report.

How does having 4 or 8 gig ram affect the cpu usage?

It doesn't.

In the browser there are 10 categories, of which no 10 is "Sorted by Categories"

I miss category no 11 "Sorted by Synthesizer". Now I can see no possibility to quickly get access to all the patches for one particular of the included synths?

Another thing I miss is the possibility to set the value of pitch accuratly, now when turning the semi wheel, I can only get it to be 6.72 or 7.3. To make a fifth I need to set the value at 7.0

if you use the search features once indexed in the browser, you can type the first letter of the synth name and get what you are looking for.

You can Double click the knob and enter 7 for the pitch no ?

I am getting CPU spikes (and audible clicks) when operating the filter (first patch for example). I am running in Falcon on an i7 4Ghz- don't have an issue with analogue patches/filter, just the filter on sample playback like Synth Anthology (I was expecting less CPU use than VA Falcon patches with samples!)

Its OK when set to a filter frequency, seems to be whilst moving.....

Tried in BWS and S1 3 - same in both (worst in S1)

Double clicking got it working

The search function in the browser is a help, I can for example search for JP-4, to get the patches of that listed. But if I want to search for all the patches made from synths of a particular dev (like Roland or Yamaha), or a partiuclar instrument series (like Jupiter), it yields no result

[EvilDragon]

This is why tag-based patch browsers are so important, and I hope UVI implements it eventually.

How would this compare to Digital Synsations and Synth Legacy? Are both included so we can get rid of them when we but SA2?

[otristan]

SA2 includes everything available in Synth Legacy plus more stuff so it's his big brother.


SA2 and DS are two differents beats with no samples material in common.
SA2 includes lots of differents synths while DS focus on 4 synth of the 90s sampled with greater details.

Thank you, Olivier.
Seems perfectly clear that the upgrade from Synth Legacy would be $49, as I payed $49 for Synth Legacy in the Guitar Center Anniversary promotion.
However, my upgrade price for SA2 suggests €49 instead of $49. Shouldn't this be $49 US?

[otristan]

If you are in the US, you should see an upgrade price in dollars.
If this isn't the case, please contact our support.

So is there supposed to be a special upgrade price for vintage vault-owners after all? When I add SA2 to the shopping basket, I see the regular €99, any chance I´ll see €49 there?

[otristan]

Only Synth Anthology 1 and Synth Legacy owners are eligible for an upgrade.
Everybody else have access to the intro price of 99 € until the 14th of november though.

Hope this clarify things.
