And many others, too. They have really great instruments and they do work extremely well with Scaler. ---

do you know if they have a demo? I have 2 plugins covered by dust in my cellar because they were actually unusable 😁 BTW, a further plugin came in the cellar because the demo worked, while the complete tool crashed, but I was allowed to have a refund at least So I must check if they allow for a possible refund, in any case ---

> [@ClaudioPorcellana](#): > > do you know if they have a demo? No idea. But as I have a PC very similar to yours and their plugins VST are working fine for me, i am pretty sure you should have no problem. Ah, ok, there is a difference that you use Ableton, but as it is even more popular than Reaper, no reason for trouble. ---

BTW, I downloaded the [Italian manual](https://media.soundsonline.com/manuals/EW-Hollywood-Backup-Singers-User-Manual_Italiano.pdf) to try to understand how difficult is programming vocals (I hate any kind of programming) The translator seems not Italian mother-tongue and the translation itself is awful 🥶 I think I’ll read the English manual instead 😁 OK; I think this is not the good stuff for me: too much programming and editing involved I am able to sing, so I would rather buy a tool that changes my colour from male to female, from baritone to basso etc. without making a robot voice like vocoders I still don’t understand if my Melodyne 5 **essential** is the answer, but I’ll check it ---

I don’t think Melodyne Essential is enough for this. There are maybe other plugins that would do this kind of job. ---

maybe the Melodyne assistant can do it in this case I can wait for a rebate 😁 I’ll try to look some video ---

BTW, There is a free Heavyocity Nylon Guitar at [Foundations Nylon Guitar | Cinematic Guitar | Heavyocity](https://heavyocity.com/product/foundations-nylon-guitar/). Oh, no, it is Kontakt and you hate this ☹ ---

I just tested my Melodyne Essential and I was able to send down and up a whole arrangement 😲 so I can use it for some vocal task I’ll do other tests with my voice only and I’ll let you know ---

Another great freebie from Heavyocity! I have all 3. The new nylon sounds great and works perfect with Scaler. No Keyswitches to work around. ---

Well, Hollywood singers is still an immature project to me, so I’ll wait that more similar plugins jump out, and easier ones above all I was also tempted by their Pop brass, but after some reasoning I decided to have more effects for my own voice, and I bought VocalSynth 2 discounted One of the video I’ve seen let me understand it can be very useful if properly used ---

Well, I seem to be going in the opposite direction, hehe I just bought a Native Instruments A49 keyboard that included Komplete 13 on sale for €448. There are many instruments and effects included in Komplete 13 (Kontakt, Reaktor, Rig Guitar, Massive X …), which are also configured to be played with the A49 configuration. Until now I had an Akai MPK mini keyboard with 25 keys. It works well, but when it came to having chords and being able to improvise it was a problem because I had to constantly change octaves. Anyway, I don’t get a commission from NI for advertising; I’m just telling you and telling you that the NI summer deals with software when you buy hardware will be open until tomorrow, in case anyone is interested [https://www.native-instruments.com/es/catalog/summer-of-sound-2022/hardware-and-software-bundles/](https://www.native-instruments.com/es/catalog/summer-of-sound-2022/hardware-and-software-bundles/) ---

Welcome in the (almost) Fifty Shades of Grey well, black + white is a sort of grey after all 😁 I wish to have a larger keyboard, like the Davide one, but I have little space ---

Ilok system is a deal breaker. When they split from Native Instruments and went cloud based I tried to make the best of it but it was a massive hassle with Ilok. Native Instruments has their own manager so simple , great sounds no third party lock out junk. ---

I have the same Native package. It has a lot of good instruments and sounds. For some reason, I like Native’s instruments the most. ---
