SOLVED: Galbanum Second Coming

Thanks.

I would recomend that the installer zip is downloaded to the desktop, or downloads folder. Unzip the installer folder, and run the installer from this location. Windows XP (with newer service packs) and Vista may be specific about where applications are allowed to launch from. Keeping the installer on the desktop should solve this issue.

Let me know what you think of the sounds.

Quick notes...

Actually Second Coming has more presets: 400 vs 250.

"Raw Food" presets were originally going to be classified as bass-sounds. But then I figured there is no reason not to use them in higher registers as well, so why not give them their own class. They basically feature interesting stereo waveforms/timbres with no or very minimal processing. Sometimes, less is more, and you don't always want a preset like the "Super Model" Bass presets in which we have 24 modulation assignments, a ton of DSP, and a whole bunch of other dynamic things.... Sometimes you just want a pretty raw waveform. Sometimes it makes it that way the whole way to the master recording.... Sometimes the Raw sound is what you want. Other-times you may want something simple like this to feed into/through third party FX, etc etc.

Second Coming and Piscis are really about equal in terms of Presets vs content-design/tools. I want to appeal to everyone from novice to advanced user so I try to offer both.

Second Coming is highly targeted to dance music of various genres. Piscis, due mainly to the ubiquitous nature of pads, is perhaps more universal in usage. But Second Coming really excels at dance/electronic music stuff...

For whatever reason (I am not sure why at the moment), it seems the installer folder must be placed in /yourdrive/Program Files/

If the installer folder is placed there, the installer will run without any problems. If you try to run it from any other location, it may not launch. I suspect it has something to do with the new Windows security features.

So thankfully, I think I have a simple sollution: place the unzipped "Galbanum Second Coming Win Installer" folder directly in /Program Files/ and click on the .exe Everything should work fine.

I will explore more after my vacation, or at least once I arrive in NY late tonight, and see if I can't get rid of this requirement.

Also if anyone purchases Piscis directly from my server at the same time as this, please install Piscis first, since the Piscis content on my server does not yet have an installer, and you will want the Second Coming installer to handle the mentioned folder merging logic. (If you purchased Piscis from the Cakewalk store, this version already feautures an installer, and the installation order is not important.) I will update my Piscis .zip on my server to incluse an installer too during the first week of Sept to accomodaten new customers who purchase both directly from me.

Summary: Please install Piscis first, if you are just now purchasing this. Please place the unzipped "Galbanum Second Coming Win Installer" folder directly in /Program Files/ and click on the .exe Everything should work fine. After the install you may move/delete the ""Galbanum Second Coming Win Installer" as you wish.

Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

Have fun upstate. Looking forward to checking out the new soundssss .
