You are right, both the VST2 and VST3 plugins are installed in the same folder, that is really odd. You have to manually copy them to the right folder. I am now using the VST2 instead of the VST3, that seems to work better for me. For every preset that uses the sampler, you have to point it to the sample file and save it.

Thanks from me, too, and here’s BPB’s article: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/09/26/waves-metafilter-black-octopus/

Thanks for letting us know. I probably would’ve missed it if wasn’t for your comment.

Thanks a lot for sharing the link. I searched online yesterday, but couldn’t get any info about this offer.

I see on the product page that it requires 1 GB of RAM, not hard drive space.

Absolutely no tower synth! Thank you!

They also have a couple of other free programs. Verv and Driftmaker, which I have yet to try.

Wrongtools just released a free Kontakt instrument, Spin, sampled from a carousel musicbox, and they also have a free cinematic scoring piano available, Tangent. I think they both only work on full kontakt versions though

Fracture Sounds just released a new series of free instruments for the free kontakt player, starting with a chunky Rhodes Mk1

Yes, for a plugin that is usually payware, the installation is rather cumbersome

I installed the plugin, it notice that it put both the VST2 and VST3 in the same folder.
I use the VST2 plug and that loads up fine in FL Studio, to get the presets I use the import function in the plug to load the bank file that is included in the download.
But If using the VST3 plug, I guess that must be copied from the default installation folder to the Program Files/Common Files/VST3 ?
