  Hi Greg, Have you experienced any issues with not only playing this plugin, but also with the download process? I also use Alternate Mode products , including their DITI. You seem to be triggering the software quite well. However, I have seen some other reviews which were NOT played in real time; the people who published their videos had multiple complaints. They were not demoing the software; nor, with the DITI. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Yeah, the download process for the plug-in was a bit of a pain, if I remember correctly (though it's been a while!). I think I couldn't figure out how to actually find it in the Roland Cloud Manager. And when I did, I think it took multiple tries to actually download it and install it successfully. There have been a few other bugs as well. For example, it always forces my DAWs (Logic Pro and Digital Performer) to rescan all the plug-ins when I launch the DAW. Also, sometimes it crashes, like when I'm replacing a sound in one spot or another on the virtual kit. I don't recall any problems playing it using the DITI. ...Though the DITI had a steep learning curve as well. But most of my issues about the DITI revolved around setting and training the hi hat. I don't think I've had any issues with any plug-ins in particular. What kinds of problems are you having? I can see if I can re-create it.

  @@schmargle Thanks for the reply & info. I was about to buy it to use with my Alternate Mode products, but I read a few other people here stating they had considerable issues. But , they were not playing it in real time; nor with a DITI. I have considerable experience with the DITI and that's why I reached out to you. One more question: being that it's been 7 months since you published this, did you buy the initial SoundWorks r1.0 ? I read somewhere that they have issued at least one update; I'm wondering if your DAW system conflicts and crashes were potentially related to the very first release...??... Have you had positive response with the Tech Support team at Roland/DW? I appreciate your feedback - I 'm trying to avoid the time and expense regarding difficulties with a new VST as well as being a non-refundable purchase. Thanks again....

  @@mattf.3124 I did buy the initial version, v1.0, but I've since updated twice. And actually, it looks like there's another new update available, v1.0.3, so I'm currently downloading and updating. The crashes I had were not when I've been playing, only when I was trying to replace a sample in one of the kits, I think. I tried to replicate the crash just now and couldn't, so maybe that's been fixed...or maybe I just haven't remembered exactly what caused it. Not sure. And yes, the support team at Roland was very helpful when I contacted them after v1. The only real issue that remains is that my DAW always rescans all the plug-ins. I had hoped they would somehow figure out a way to fix whatever is causing that, but they don't seem to have unless this new version somehow cures that. It's also possible that I need to completely uninstall and reinstall again-I think I tried that early on but haven't in a while. I also think the Roland app where you download the plug-in is a bit wonky. Sometimes downloading gets stuck on "queued" and never quite downloads. But you don't have to interact with it often. So, the short answer is: it's not yet perfect, or at least it wasn't through v1.0.2. But I still enjoy it. None of the issues I've experienced have stopped me from using it or playing it in real time (which is how I pretty much always use it).

  New beats have a tighter lathing which lends itself to touch more glassiness. The wider band lathed K offers a meatier stick but at a drier clip and at the expense of some tone IMHO. New Beats all day

  Echoes of the drum sound on Pearl Jam’s ’W.M.A.’ Around the 2-minute mark. Love it! I use Skyntones on my regular toms, but have always fancied Roto toms after seeing Queen’s Roger Taylor use them. Would never have thought to pair them up! Great vid 👍

  K sounds more articulate and has a much faster decay. The new beats sound like they produce a wall of sound that’s a lot more washy sounding. Both sound great but for different styles

  Nice sounding toms. I’m curious what pitch/notes you are tuning too.

• 
  @schmargle2 ай бұрын

  I tune to 4ths. D (14"), G (12"), C (10"). The tops and bottoms are the same note. When I'm tuning the top head, the bottom head is muted, and vice versa. When I mount them (because of the miracle of physics!), the pitches actually sound a little bit lower, but it's the relative pitches that are really most important to me.
