I like vip very much. People are complaining so much, saying the grass is greener on the other side. But its not.DJ Warmonger wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 10:34 amOn paper yes. It's also great if it already works with plugins you have. But new plugin maps are not coming, and the old ones are not supported. I asked support to help with 3-year old Chromaphone 2 map found on their own forum, but they didn't solve my issue.zzz00m wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 1:27 am VIP 3 is a nice, affordable, tool to have. If you can afford this, plus the NI NKS system, then you can have it all!
But if you are on a budget, VIP is a good start to wrangle a bunch of plugins under one application. I think that the patch browser in the desktop application is fantastic, and will let you search for patches and tags across all of your VIP compatible plugins. That really beats loading one plugin at a time and searching for a sound. I have over 20,000+ patches indexed in my VIP app. Easy to pull up all leads, or basses, or pads, across all instrument plugins with just one click!
I seriously consider picking NKS, as it actually supported platform with some future.
I own the advance 61 and bought Komplete 12 ultimative ce.
I spend the last 3 month sorting 30k of my patches inside vip. And its a lot more versatile compared to kontrol. Auto import is really good for most plugins. I imported 10 synths or so.
No such thing with kontrol software.
What is better compared to kontrol
