Available now: Colors Vintage Synth

Virtual instruments HALion
1

Dear all,

we just released a new instrument from the Cinematique Instruments Colors series called Colors Vintage Synth. It is a wonderful collection of iconic sampled synthesizer sounds, which have been processed with different analog devices and then combined to create something completely new. Melt three synth layers together with an extra noise and theremin layer, then warp them further with LFOs, a mini-ARP and an FX section.

Find out more on the product page here

Or watch Doms playthrough on our YouTube Channel.

All the best,

Florian

I reached out to cinematique instruments for support and I have to say, the response was appalling. Are they typically this bad?

I liked the ‘free’ colors vintage synth but it had preset and recall issues. Emails directly to them got no response and when one did arrive, it was basically ‘F off’! I sent a polite reply in the hope I just got the ‘idiot of the day’, but nothing. Bit of a shame.

@Florian_Haack anything you can do to push support queries or does the Steinberg part of it stop at selling the product on their behalf? Thanks

Hi SteveBee, thanks for making me aware of this. Can you send me some details in a private message? I will see what I can do…

Thanks Florian, will do.

I had exactly the same experience with them some time ago. :roll_eyes:

@Florian_Haack kindly gave them a nudge and I got a response. Though havce to say I got detail out of Florian than I did from Cinematique Instruments support team. The main issue I was having re presets is indeed fixed.

Was it an issue where the volume levels aren’t saving in the Easel tab with the custom preset? That’s what I’ve run into.

Hi, yes, plus a few other issues.

Hi mates! Previously installed Colors Free, but then added Colors Vintage Synth. Can you uninstall the Free version or this have independent features?

Thanks you!

They’re not the same product - you’ll have 2 Colors synths available now.

Do you need Hal 7 to use this synth? I’ve downloaded it but can it be used with Halion 6?

Hi Florian.
I got a “gift” when upgrading to Cubase 13 and installed Cinematique Instruments Colors - what a gift! I can only see one sound named “Colors Vintage Synth” in the category “Synth Pad” ?? /O: - What to do?
Kind regards / Valkri

Hi Valkri,

the Colors Series comes on first glance only with one preset, but as soon as you have opened the one presets, you can navigate through more presets by clicking on the individual colors of the colors palette. It is a different preset concept the developer Cinematique Instruments has for their instruments. Perhaps the walkthrough from Dom helps a little bit to clarify: https://youtu.be/uvormTS2JUI ?

All the best,

Florian
