Here is a quick reminder that as of November of 2023, there are 2,200 Patches available to load into Unify from numerous FREE LIBRARIES that you should take advantage of!
The fun all starts at www.pluginguru.com and Unify is on sale until Tuesday the 27th!
Unify is probably the greatest soft synth written, so much that Roland decided to UNIFY their synth collection with their new Giant subscription synth. Love you John!
Really - just finished doing this right now .. How to get the unified patches ?
Huh? Roland has Unified their Cloud Ultimate subscription synths and drum machines? Effects? Or do you mean that someone at PluginGuru has Unified all of the Roland soft synths? Link please?
I think he is referring to Galaxia, which is a Roland synth that works very similar to unify
@@The_Sonic_Oasis Galaxias looks more like Arturia Analog Lab V which is an aggregator/blender/player for Arturia sounds. This is nothing compared to what Unify can do.
I suspect Galaxias will be cool and useful for Roland cloud, but will be limited to only Roland sounds and have dependencies that you own the Roland synths (unlike Zenology that has no dependencies). Should be interesting to see what Galaxias can do outside of Roland ecosystem or sounds.
Unify is inspiration incarnate. Anyone making music ITB should get it asap. John and Shane are real gurus indeed. Kudos!
Yeh, like wow! 🥳
And also, Unify is the LABS layer player Spitfire should have made. As a layer player, Unify rules supreme.
I finally pulled the trigger and got Unify! And Ambient Dreams while I was there! 🙂Lots of explorations to do now...
I love Unify. John, Shane and the team do an incredible job for us
You Know You Are Too Awesome John !.......Purchasing Unify was the Best Thing that ever happen, (Perfect Purchase) Must have for all musician and sound designers.
Best plug-in I bought this year! Love it! Can even use vst3 in unify in a vst2 software(Live 9). So easy to experiment with and the stacks you can make with your own synths and libs are crazy!!! So much fun!
Too cool. Now I have 24,260 Unify patches. 🙂
Nice! 🥰
This is excellent.
John, thanks to you and Shane for creating Unify and I would like to know if you have any plans to Unify Arturia Pigments 4 in the near future?
It's the one plugin to rule them all … ;) Kidding, but if I had to choose one single plugin for the remote island or the rest of my life, it would be Unify. For sure. ;)
I just might!
I did and now Spitfire has a new customer too
The harpsichord sounds by Hans Zimmer in the Sherlock Homes movies are incredible.i hadn't considered that as an usable instrument beforehand. How does the sound of the Unify vst compare to Komplete? Why do vst instruments sound so thin? Some sounds seem very metallic. But yours, i mean in general. Am i off base? Are your libraries royalty free?
Unify isn't an instrument (like a Minimoog emulation is an instrument), but 1) a collection of free (and very good) instruments, 2) a bunch of effects (comp, reverb, but also complex midi effects) and 3) a plugin to combine/layer those free instruments & effects PLUS any other instruments & effects you have installed. "Combine" is a simple word to describe very complex combinations you can make -- layers, splits, channel-rotating layers. If you have a mono-synth, Unify makes it possible to layer e.g. 16 of them so you get a 16-voice polysynth out of your monosynth -- just to name an example. Watch a few of John's Unify video's to get an idea of what Unify can do.
A Unify patch is thus a bunch of layers of instruments, with effects, key-ranges and channel assignments, playable as if it was a single instrument. A patch can even contain layers that contain other Unify patches. Rabbit hole, here I come… Unify for $59 is the best Xmas present you can get yourself this year for that kind of money. Really.
@chaosme1ster I appreciate that. And that was an informative response. How do you beef up the sounds? It may be me, I may be the problem, but virtual instruments sound thin, and I don't know how to get them to sound as good as on classic albums like good kid, mad city or a tribe called quests midnight marauders, etc.
How can I get the quality of the sound to be competitive with major label commercial products?
@@DL-1 Virtual instruments don't sound thin nowadays. Anyone who says they do is either a hardware snob, or has some other problem :). Things you can do to beef up sounds is: mild amounts of distortion, layering sounds, use instruments that implement analog drift (Gforce OB-X for example), etc. Just be careful you don't go overboard, since an instrument that's beefed up too much, probably won't sit right in the mix and stick out.
There are plenty of video's (Starsky Carr's for example) where hardware and software are compared and the conclusion is that there's a negligible difference… That's saying something, isn't it?
@chaosme1ster not a hardware snob. Just a noob that hasn't mastered the craft enough to consistently make masterpieces. I know that I cannot compete with peers in this arena yet, but I would like to cross the gap of experience and ability in the near future. I wasn't asking to get bashed, I was asking for help. Thank you and Have a nice day.
@@DL-1 Being touchy? Dude, I didn't bash you -- you're clearly of the "other problem" category (lack of experience maybe), and that's why I gave some (possibly helpful) suggestions. All in good intent. And, mind you, the interweb *is* full of hardware snobs who claim that no software will *ever* sound even remotely similar to the antique piece of hardware they paid a fortune for.
Hello,
how big is Unify Standard Edition (GB)?
I'm using Unify V1.10.2 I am just trying to check the free patches count to 2202 as yours does - I have just updated the latest labs and my count is 2045 (157 short) my Unify Standard Library is showing 650 - I see @1:53 your count is 640. and your labs is 613 patches and mine is saying 617 I wonder why I'm still only showing 2045 overall these free libraries?
How many jams have you made so far?
