Ian Webster, the guy who programs the Krakli line of synthesizer plugins, has created a Yamaha CS80 synthesizer clone and the demos sound very Vangelis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvLHm0HFwyk

The VSTi is only available from the Krakli Plugs facebook group right now. If you like Vangelis and want to have a synthesizer that he famously used across his career, then this plugin has that capability.

Ian will eventually make the plugin available from his website. One of the other gems of his that I use regularly for inventive pads is his Cygnus plugin. I particularly like the GUI for Cygnus that looks like a shot of the starry skies, it's great for patch programming without a preconceived notion of what envelope shapes and filter settings one should start with.

When I asked to join the FB group, I was approved within minutes and dowloaded the zip file immediately. I will begin twiddling the presets and trying out some bladerunner action soon.

Great find and Thanks

But please, come back and let us know if/when we DO NOT need Fakebook to access it.

Larry I'm not sure I will know that. Since I have the plugin now, I don't really have a need to check Ian's website. I might go back there tonsurf some of his other offerings, as I am a regular user of his Cygnus plugin and haven't checked through his perhaps more recent plugins since Cygnus.

So, I finally had a chance to play around with the Arminator plugin tonight. I programmed the original brassy chord sound in this song and the bass, used some loops for the drums, and then used some of the more odd sounds for leads. I also used lots of delay and reverb and compressed it pretty hard.

Scott, that sounds great!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
