AIR Music Tech announces Open Beta: Apple Silicon and Windows 11 support for classic plugins

Unexpected good news. I thought vacuum tube was discontinued for their new tube synth or whatever it’s called

Okay, in case anyone else gets their Hybrid 3 installation messed up by the new installer, I figured out what was up with the presets "lacking something."

The installer also deleted my Program Files(86)\AIR Music Technology\Content folder, which contains the wavetables, phrases, and part-presets.hybrid files.

After I copied those back from my other system, everything worked fine with both the old VST2 and the new VST3 versions of the synth.

My recommendation is either wait for them to fix the beta installer or be aware that some of the resources may get deleted/moved from your current installation.

Also, at least at this point, the feature we've been waiting/begging for, the scalable UI, is not present, at least not at this time. It looks and acts just like the last VST2 version.

A welcome move on these great plugins.

But as is obvious the number 1 issue next to any bug fixes is proper scalable GUI.

Untill then......

OK

So I registered for the beta, but I have not had anything that would tell me where to download them - any ideas?

It would be really appreciated if you could document your experience via the feedback form this will help the developers investigate. Thank you

No Drumsynth 500?

So no updated GUI with scalable interface? VST3, Windows 11 support and Apple Silicon support are just maintenance, not to be confused with an actual update. Will they still use iLok, or will they be moved to your new copyright protection?

Already done. I posted it here as a warning to other beta testers that the installer is broken and what to do to get a system working again.

This is a pretty bad one. In its current state, the Hybrid 3 installer will break the installation on any existing system it's run on. The devs probably didn't catch it because they have all of the files in both places on their systems.

I haven't tried any of the others yet, but before I do, I'm going to back up my AIR program folders and program data folders.

And while I have your attention, if you all added only the resizable UI, I would pay a reasonable fee to upgrade my AIR synth plug-ins. Even fixed increments of 100%, 125%, 150%, 200% would be an improvement.

Since the current VST2 versions work fine on my systems, I would pass on paying anything just to update to VST3.

I tried logging into my account and now only two newer products are showing up. Not all the ones I purchased years ago, any ideas why my purchases aren’t showing up? Anyone else have this issue ?

Any idea when old licences will get transferred to the new InMusic account where all the new licences are, it is way more convenient?
