Where is BX Oberhausen

[Jonathan Hughes]

Has anyone upgraded to Komplete 14? I upgraded to Komplete Standard, which is supposed to include BX Oberhausen, but it's nowhere to be found in Native Access. Has anyone successfully installed it?

[Jonathan Hughes]

Nevermind! You have to get it through Plugin Alliance.

waiting for NI to address this issue. What a PIA

I already had a Plugin Alliance account, so it was easy, but definitely not intuitive.

Glad you figured it out. I got bx_oberhausen as a free plugin on one of PA’s one-off flash discounts a while back. Definitely one of my favorite software synths - I like how real it sounds.

A friend recently tipped me off about good discounts for the Plugin Alliance synths and he recommended the Oberhausen and Knifonium. I purchased them two days ago for $30 each which is a great price. I tested mainly the Knifonium since it's a model of a tube synth and I really love it, it may find a lot of usage in my stuff. I haven't yet tested the Oberhausen and I already have the Arturia V collection but from what I hear on demos the Oberhausen is better than the Arturia SEM, so I thought for $30 it's worth it having yet another SEM emulation.

Same here.

But did you manage to activate MIDI program changes in bx oberhausen ?

In opposite to some other VST3 plugins, where a to MIDI program change commands responding "MIDI bank" can be filled w/ patches, I don´t see any option for bx oberhausen.

It's definitely a unique sounding synth. It's got a midrange presence that my other stuff doesn't have, so it could definitely pop out nicely in a mix. I know they're copying the original unit, but having a a dedicated release stag on the envelopes would make it a lot more flexible. And the built-in reverb is AWFUL.

I have it, stand alone. I've doinked about with it a bit, nice addition. 

Just did the classic "keep an eye on Plugin Alliance and buy when it's cheap" strategy. Lots of bargains out there for the patient plugin surfer. 

IK will do more or less the same thing fairly often as well and there are many others.

Never tried doing that. If I'm recording I just make a separate instance if I need a patch change, or if it's too CPU intensive to have too many instances I'll just render them to audio. Since I don't gig with a laptop rig I haven't had any other need for program changes and softsynths in general either.

Different demands.

I wanna treat software like hardware,- the software replacing a piece of hardware,- as also I don´t want to load a new "project" for every tune to perform.

But that´s only ME.

They have a great discount right now. I got it for something like 5E
