really looking forward to getting me filthy mitts on that preset morphing feature
How do you know it's out on monday when they write "scheduled for release in September 2015"?

it shows an counter on the fxpansion website with "3" , which most likely means 3 days

Okay, thanx guys! I didn't (and never would) find this info by myself!

I think Angus would be OK with me saying that there will be a nicely priced upgrade available to current DCAM Synth Squad owners.

Will it be available from your shop too?

I'm soooo there, dude!

Sorry, caught up in the spirit of the lingo. JRR's going to have one extra visit on Monday

Good - although seeing as this is just an upgrade to Strobe and not the entire squad could not even a nicely priced upgrade turn out to be quite an expensive one if we had to go through the same upgrade path for the others too?

Yes and no..

Yes, in that upgrading all 3 synths (we're doing something a little different with Fusor that's not quite far along enough to talk about yet) will add up.

No, in that each individual upgrade costs about the same as a couple of preset packs, and ships with (in Strobe 2's case) 900 newly-created original presets; nobody is forcing you to upgrade all 3 at the same time, or indeed ever.

Forgive me if this is (most likely) both a dumb and asked-to-death question, but will Strobe 2 work in Fusor just as the original did? This isn't a separate synth altogether?

Aah, a video from David "Sushi" Boldini

1. Was something changed/improved with the audio engine, so Strobe 2 will sound different compared to Strobe 1?

2. Is Strobe 2 a completely different plugin so if Strobe 1 was used in an existing project and it's uninstalled will the project report a missing plugin?

It does not work in Fusor.

It's pretty much the same, now with effects.

Thank you. Will it run in Fusor upon the release of Synth Squad 2?

Angus_FX · Post by **Angus_FX** » Sat Sep 12, 2015 5:58 am

As I said before, we're doing something a little different with Fusor for v2. Its role changes somewhat now that the synths have built in arpeggiators and a very capable FX section.

We don't have any plans to release Synth Squad 2 as a bundle at this stage.

The v2 synths do not run in Fusor v1.

2. Is Strobe 2 a completely different plugin so if Strobe 1 was used in an existing project and it's uninstalled will the project report a missing plugin?

Yes. It's preset-compatible (it'll read Strobe1 presets 99% accurate - pretty much everything apart from Arpeggiator settings comes across perfectly) but it's not a 1:1 replacement. On the plus side, you can have both installed side-by-side. I don't know any way of allowing a plug-in to permit both (side-by-side & 1:1 replacement in the same plugin).

Scratch that, I just figured out a way to do it. But the thing I need won't be ready by Monday, sorry

Should be handy when opening old projects in the far future though - and for people who never got v1 wanting to open other peoples' v1 projects.

All good things come to those who wait.. the Synth Squad 2 thread
