Very slow here, and the download has reset a few times, forcing me to start over. Getting spendy on a metered Internet connection. (Damn the US broadband monopolies!) I downloaded the version without soundbanks (fast download), installed it, and am letting it grab the rest of the files. MUCH faster ...

Despite all the problems I've had with it, I still love my Balance. I use it with my laptop on an as-needed basis. On one hand, I'm disappointed that it hasn't been better supported. On the other hand, kudos to Props for trying to create such an inexpensive and sexy device! Hope they stick to softwa...

I've been happy with my Arturia Keylab 61. They are often on sale for ridiculously low prices and come with a good softsynth bundle. Got mine for $250 with a full version of Bitwig (meh). For that price, it has exceeded my expectations. I would have preferred a Panorama, but decided I really didn't ...

The RE has a bug and crashed. Ochen Ks RE seem to be buggy. I had crash with Carve and still some Problems with 4MER. Try to contact him. What bitrate do you have? Can you reproduce it? OS? Glitch Effect does this reliably if you turn all of the probabilities down to 0. My guess is a math error (pr...

Needs more tub base and washboard!

Best laugh I've had all week - really enjoyed it. In my mind's eye, I saw Appalachian bearded folksy folk happily jamming with LA inner city rappers.

I'm impressed... and happy to see more love for this very unique and expressive synth.

From what I can tell, Balance suffers from hardware and software issues on Win 8 and 10. I've tried mine with four systems, all have issues. On three, the Balance hardware/driver combination interferes with standby and sleep, variably causing blue screens (only time I've ever seen the blue screen of...

I really like the UI. Nice design!

Nice! I had such a difficult time deciding between Maschine Studio and Push 2. Ultimately, I went with Push because for me it's a much better replacement for keys and plays nicely with Reason (albeit in a much more limited capacity). I LOVE Push, but after several months with Ableton Live, I'm not a...

Good news! I figured you are a busy guy with lots of other projects on your plate. But YouTube definitely has moments full of suckage.

Bring out the pom-poms! Your fans await!

Have you considered creating a Patreon account? We could at least fund your "tea" to fuel the creative sessions...

YouTube has generated an industry of pirates who steal content from others, claim it as their own under Content ID, then attack the legitimate content owner. This is really difficult to defend against if you are a small YouTube producer... doubly so if the pirate is a large multinational company. (S...

Kong supports velocity layered samples.

Use the NN-Nano and you can have as many layers as you want. No, it's not as straightforward as MPC, but it's pretty easy.

How does the cheapo H1 stack up to these more expensive models? Features simply don't compare, but for its size, the H1 has impressive dynamic range, stereo separation and SNR. It's really easy to use and very pocketable. I use it to record live events (for fun) and conferences and lectures (for wo...

The original QWERTY typewriters would jam if the typist pressed more than one key at a time! Computer keyboards don't jam, but they do suffer multiplex collisions. Basically, the cost and complexity of designing a keyboard that is capable of tracking all 108 or more keys independently and/or simulta...

Thanks for the heads up - looks like a significant upgrade. They've been on a roll lately! Love my Zoom H6 and H1. Really great products.

Same here.

It took me a while to understand what Neutron is and what it can do. Hydlide's tutorial helped!

Selig, aren't we due for about ten more rack extensions from you?

Hydronexius is a very capable ROMpler with a large soundbank. ONE is Subtractor's bigger, better looking, and more successful brother. Zero is the weird Nobel laureate who lives next door and keeps causing brownouts in the neighborhood. Such different beasts! If I had to keep only one, I'd choose Hy...

Rex loops don't support this, but NN-XT does. Use Kong with a NN-Nano and you can assign multiple samples to each pad, each triggered by a different velocity range.

That has to be some A-grade inefficient multicore programming then.

I love FM4... but it is a CPU hog!

Another thing to check, especially if you built this system yourself: LGA 1151 sockets are somewhat notorious for bent pins. If software and OS troubleshooting fails, take the CPU off of the motherboard and carefully inspect the pins on the motherboard socket using a magnifying glass, loupe, or micr...

rewire could really benefit from bi-directional audio and save state like VSTs. that would make it a lot more useable. maybe clipboard/drag and drop support too. you can do a lot more with VSTs. Agreed. Since getting Push, I've been going back and forth between Reason and Ableton quite a bit. Rewir...

I actually contacted Reason about this and they've mentioned that hyperthreading will not impact my use of Reason as they don't utilize this in their software. Their is only an insignificant amount of power added with hyperthreading if any. I guess I could look into a Xeon as well since I haven't b...

Sorry, I can't help with that one. I'm still on R7.1, awaiting R9 to upgrade, so no Redrum pattern Remoting for me. Have you sent the devs an email?
