I was messing around with #Arturia Augmented Grand piano along with #Pigments, made a rather phat-sounding track-stack and then came up with this G-minor riff thing. Drums from Emu Proteus library for Kontakt: https://youtube.com/shorts/FzoIDke9chE

Yesterday I live-streamed. I haven't done so for two plus years. To make up for it, I played sounds into your ears for over 2.5 hours. It was much fun.
If you want some relaxment on your Sunday, have a flick through this.
Lots of nice interaction in the chat as well, so the time didn't feel anything like that long.
Have you ever installed a musical or #fx plug-in?
Are you not a #ProTools or #Sibelius user?
If this sounds like you, you may find anywhere from a few hundred MB to several GB of unwanted AAX plug-ins used by #Avid just hanging around on your system like a bad smell.
I'd check just in case. #Mac: /Library/Application Support/Avid. #Windows: Program Files\Common Files\Avid.
I found 2GB on my Mac and deleted them, but every 6 months or so I check again and due to updates from companies such as #NativeInstruments, #Arturia, #SoundToys, #Roland etc, they come back.
Very few manufacturers allow you to turn off installing certain types of plug-in, so it's worth keeping an eye on these.

Gotta say, the #Arturia#MicroFreak was already my favorite synth, and I am just sitting here now in awe of this new update (adds sample playback, 3 granular engines, snappier envelopes and more). I am beginning to think these people can do actual fucking #magic.
It has 210 seconds of sample time! How? I remember seeing people ask for this feature over a year ago and I laughed, thinking there was no way there was enough free ram... I will never doubt again.
During my recent multi-week #overlanding camping adventure, I allowed myself ONE synth.
It was the ASM Hydrasynth. Why? (I don't actually hear you ask...)
Well, it's terribly powerful and I rarely use it. Maybe I don't KNOW it well enough? What magic is lurking in those digitally aliased cracks and crevasses?
So I spent 3 weeks alone with the Hydra and this is the first thing I created with it...
That's a good point! I don't own any of the #Arturia instruments, but it does seem that they're both brilliantly aimed at performance playability.
The poly aftertouch keyboard on the Hydra is simply AMAZING. Such a joy to play... so expressive. And while it's not knob-per-function, it's shockingly easy to access complex matrix routing and build macros to do all manner of sonic alchemy on the fly.
