The following applies to OAS 7 NOT the Pegasus Wing which is a completely different update. (Details of the Wing Update can be found in the Pegasus Wing download section under the Services tab at
www.wersi.de )
Have just uploaded R45 to my Abacus and have had a short time to rummage through what it contains, for the OS itself very little has changed, which considering the last update (R44) was last February is rather disappointing. (Not much of a Christmas present on that front)
NOTE: One change is that the activation codes have now been altered, so make sure you write the new ones down, as if you install R45 afresh the old codes will not work. (You will have to install an older version first if you only have the old codes)
Many of you will have been aware of mentions on the Wersi forums that a completely new Drum section was to be introduced in R45, however due to problems found during Beta Testing this has now been moved back to a later date and so will probably be included when the R46 update is released. (Unlike Wersi, Music Store endeavour to make sure all updates work correctly before releasing them)
Options:
The VB3 VST now returns (It was removed with R43 as Music Store (The New owners of the Wersi Brand Name) did not have the licensing rights to it) so if you are really into your Hammond you will be in your element. (If you’re not sure if it’s for you, you can get a Trial code so you can try it first to make sure it does what you are looking for)
For demos of the VB3 VST you can go to the manufactures website
here The biggest part of R45 is the James Last Sound Pack (Of which you get 10 try’s so that you can decide whether it is for you or not) which contains new Pre-sets, Sounds, Effects, Styles, Drum Sets and Mixer Setups. (Including more Live Guitars which were first introduced with the Franz Lambert 2 Sound Pack)
The James Last Pack really is top notch from what I have tried so far, however you need the OAA option (Which has been standard on New Instruments for a number of years) to use the styles, so I have not been able to test these, but if the rest of the sound pack is anything to go by they will also be top notch.
Demos of the James Last pack are included in the update which can be heard below:
