If you are interested in any of the Arturia virtual instruments, effects or sound banks, Arturia just opened it’s 50% off Summer sale. Don’t know how long it lasts, but If you’ve never used Arturia instruments, you are in for a treat and they pair perfectly with Scaler.
Bonus tip - If you have Analog Labs, did you know that any sample presets that download when you are exploring a sound bank in the Arturia store (typically the 1st 10 or so presets in a bank), can be used (almost) as a normal preset? This gives you free access to hundreds of presets contained w/in the various Arturia sound banks packs.
A couple limitations as explained by Arturia support:
- While you cannot launch the entire instrument UI, you can manipulate all the custom macro controls
- You cannot save, close and reopen a song and keep a sample preset active, but you can keep it active during an entre editing session with no apparent limitations. (If I have one I really want to use again, I typically bounce a copy before I save and just add the name of the preset to my track info. Then I can search for it from the home page of Analog Labs and reload it if needed.)
(these limitations were tested on a Windows / Studio One 5.5 setup)
