Smenelian Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Alright mystery solved. The VI One setup was a hidden file. Had to enable hidden objects to see it and install it. That is VERY strange if you ask me. Completely unrelated, does anyone know if the VI One sample content can be run in regular Kontakt 2? I can't get it to work.

big giant circles Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 It can run in Kontakt 3, so I assume it can run in 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argle Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I like it very much. The pads are particularly nice, as are the synth sounds in general. The acoustic sounds aren't very interesting for me as I got a lot of expensive East-West shit, but for someone who wanted an all in one solution I'm sure they'd be perfectly fine. For $99 it's really a no-brainer purchase. imo at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmoyes Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I contacted vir2 tech support. They were excellent. They said some of the discs were defective and they gave me a link to download the installer. This is the best tech support I've ever seen. The link to download the installer is: http://www.vir2.com/vir2/products/vione/setup.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nase Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Gah, I really want that VI.One thing. $ 99, that's like 70 Euros, which is insane. Almost a fifth of what it costs in German web shops at the moment. Btw, I got the 3 IK plugins for cheap through a group buy, and SS2 was the one I ended up deinstalling after some testing. The acoustic content really really shows its age, and while the synth stuff isn't all that bad, a good soft synth paired with either good presets or some knowledge about synth programming is the better way to go IMO. It just doesn't sound as good to me when an evolving pad type sound always evolves the exact same way, and pasting effects like filters on top of it just sounds like that, pasted on. Flexibility aside, it just doesn't sound nearly as fat as, say, Atmosphere. And that's the only justification I can think of for buying a synth rompler, that it sounds great out of the box. I've always liked Sampletank though. It doesn't have the highend supermultisampled stuff, but a lot of sounds with character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sony Acid Pro 6 ($299) is $99 in store for September. Yes, that's right.
