Some of the 37 new filters use the new Adaptive Resonance concept, which automatically controls the filter characteristics to prevent unpleasant sound artifacts from excessive resonance peaks.

The fifth version of the sampler also adds TimeMachine Pro time scratching, which provides better sound quality for harmony solo instruments.

The effects section in Native Instruments Kontakt 5 has been expanded with several key additions that focus on studio-style audio processing.

New algorithms Solid G-EQ and Solid Bus Comp, borrowed from the Solid Mix Series, allow for alignment and compression, and the optional Transient Designer has been integrated into the Kontakt Effects section in its original form.

In addition, the new analog Tape Saturator can add natural compression and subtle organic overdrive, and vintage sampling modes taken from the Native Instruments Maschine groove machine have been integrated into the Native Instruments Kontakt 5 feature set.

Reaktor 5 Update Because I

Admins please come up with a solution to counter this software update because I also cant seem to revert back to the previous native access version.

The first couple of versions of my program did work on Windows XP (and I tested them when I still had an XP system around), but it appears that the most recent couple of updates I made use some APIs that arent available on XP, resulting in the errors you saw.

Over the past year or two Ive encountered a number of problems with some of my plugins and standalone music software that resulted from my moving files around after installing them, and from not always paying attention to where I installed things in the first place.

When most people root-cause technical issues like these, they usually spend the ten or fifteen minutes it takes to solve the problem and then move on.

Me Ill spend two solid months writing a program that fixes the problems for me.

The current version of the program does three things ( update: make that four things, as of version 1.0.0.0, and five things as of version 1.1.0.0).

You can also launch plugins in an external plugin host directly from this wizard screen.

This wizard can resolve a number of common problems with Maschine, Komplete Kontrol, Kontakt, and most other Native Instruments apps and plugins.

It also provides the ability to launch standalone applications or open plugins in an external plugin host.

You can also prioritize frequently-used libraries or hide rarely-used ones, as needed.

Ill also be putting together a few tutorials on how to use UltimatePluginTool to fix a number of problems.

All important controls are equipped with tooltips (just float over something in the program to see a quick description), and clicking the programs icon in the upper left of every screen brings up a system menu that gives you quick access to documentation, updates, and tutorials.

It runs on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, and has been tested on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

Enjoy, and check back for more information and features as the tool develops.

I dont charge a fee because I want everyone to have equal access to my programs- but if something I wrote helped you and youd like to express your thanks, you can send a donation of any amount via PayPal.

Support from my visitors covers my hosting and licensing costs, and gives me incentive to keep putting out cool new utilities.

There used to be a little utility called vstspy which was similar but it wasnt updated and doesnt work on 64 bit vst.

It showed many fields from the plugin including the four character ID for the plugin.

Plogue Bidule will not run vst with duplicate ids even if they are different plugins.

Vst spy used to allow me to sort that problem out by sorting on plugin ID.

UltimatePluginTool does not currently examine VST properties like ID number, but I agree that would be a useful feature to have.

Hello, Just stumbled across this post and thought your UltimatePluginTool looked interesting (mainly because I have some badly performing VSTs I want to track down) However when I run the UltimatePluginToolXP version I get The procedure entry point CreateSymbolicLinkW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL Is this fixable.

Random Lobster - I assume you are running Windows XP if youre using the XP version, yes I really need to set up a computer here with Windows XP for testing.

I just took a look at the Microsoft SDK though, and it looks like that feature might not work on Windows XP.

I think the Symbolic Link functionality was new to Windows Vista.

I might have to actually remove that particular wizard from the XP version, unfortunately.
