Ultra Analog VA-2 v2.1.0 update.

Yes! Larger interface!

I would have liked a little bigger, preferably scalable, but on my screen it now measure 16.5 cm, which makes it workable with a mouse. If I set  windows display to 'larger' it seems to respond much better to touch.

 

Can anyone think of a workaround or alternative approach to this set up.
 
I use breath controller. I'd like to assign it to modulator and set it's range, like in FabFilter Twin or Rapture Pro. At the moment if I want to control the filter, I have to assign it directly to it, and set the max and minimum range. Problem is, if I want to turn the filter down a little, I can't, it's now assigned breath controller, so I have to reset the minimum and maximum range. If I try to assign a second controller to it, so I can use that to turn down the range, it looses the breath controller settings.
 
I've always found the modulation routings a bit basic in VA, I'd much rather a mod matrix running as part of a preset, than the global midi learn that affects all presets in the same way.
 
I'm pretty happy about the GUI size change though, it does give this synth a chance of surviving in my set up.

* Added bank and program navigation via computer keyboard arrows;
 
Great to see this. How it hasn't been an automatic feature 10 years ago I still don't understand. I'm not talking just about AAS. SampleTank3 came out less than a year ago and it didn't have it. It does now though.

Glad to see the cogs are still turning with AAS, outside their strum world.

 
Yeah, same here... I am a fan of a lot of their "stuff." Love Chromaphone

I would be calling for a TASSMAN overhaul, but that things scares the **** out me.

Haha! Yeah, let's leave TASSMAN where it is eh? I mean, this is a great synth for "meddlers" but I just don't have the time for that thing... I don't even bother loading an instance of this any more...

Apart from scrolling with keyboard keys, why do you say that Chromophone needs and update. What do you find lacking?
 
I haven't installed Tassman, nor the strums. I know I'm not going to use Tassmann and I'd prefer to invest time getting comfortable with my real guitars than with Strum. Despite having 2 guitars, I'm not a Guitar heavy music person.
 
Lounge Lizard, Chromophone, VA and String in that order I my preferences from AAS.

Call me daft, but I kinda like the kidsy piano keys at the bottom, so would love that in a Chromaphone update.

Yeah, particularly fond of Chromaphone. But I also dig that String Studio stuff. Both are my darlings, together with Lizard. Getting to know UltraAnalog and Strum a bit better now but, as for the latter, rtucker got me addicted to the quality of OrangeTreeSamples.

I recently replaced by DAW monitor with a 27 Inch 2560x1440. This update seems to make the interface similar in size to the previous interface on my old 24 Inch 1920x1080. I did not have an issue with the old interface size but the increase is justified, it was a bit on the small size.
 
I highly recommend a 2560x1440 monitor now the prices have dropped. While it does not give quite as much extra screen real estate as 2 1920x1080s it gives more high which is very valuable. If it wasn't for the cost I would have liked a Asus PQ321 31.5 inch 3140x2160.
 
 

Would love to see a pic of the 27" with SONAR on it, Glyn.
