NEW Air effects

I really like the Vintage Filter, It's a bit different from the SP404, but it has that lo-fi sound.

Question is, will they be offering plugin presets exclusively via their walled garden system (e.g. download from the activate plugins screen) or have they implemented a system that allows third parties to offer them as well, e.g. by placing them in a Presets folder on the mpc disk that auto maps them to the relevant plugin?

Make sure you update to 2.12.2 otherwise the plugins are only available as a trial. They are all free.

Slightly related - I saw this in the actual User guide that came out with 2.12.2:

so based on this lasted mini update what can we deduce/speculate with regard to the next major version update; that we predict will rollout in winter namm 2024 in the form of the mythical 3.0?

I would presume that we get new presets for the current vst instruments
possibly a new synth or two to add to the current line up
mpc force features being added to mpc software

You've been speculating and presuming that for the last 2 years

but just tried the vintage filter and nothing to right home about; good that they have multiple different slopes but the mpc & air fx are just bland in general; there is ashit ton of them but they just are mostly dull to me but i guess they intended to be.

Every plugin is boring to someone just as every plugin is inspiring to someone.
Pretty much the reason people need to stop asking about things and just try them out to see if it has value in the setup.

I really wish they would back off the the AIR push and get VST3 hosting added but I guess since they think all users are in love with the concept of standalone they are trying to add as many tools to the standalone platform as possible.
Makes sense but having to wrap so many newly released plugin because they are VST3 only is getting tiresome

On the original X and definitely like what they are doing..

Ah so there was a plug-in that needed to be bought from the mpc store. The manual makes sense now

There is more to come
I don't have the skins yet as there is no link for the content on their servers but the plug in itself works with generic TUI.

Marlow diggs leaked the AIR Jura chorus here :

Yeah, it does have 4 on/off parameters only:
Chorus I
Chorus II
Chorus noise - emulation of Juno chorus hiss
Dry/wet
I must be free one as well, can't believe they will charge any money for that, especially when it sounds... well as generic Juno chorus emulation :/

since I don't know whether they will make a generic AIR "material" skin or just simply rip it of Jura, I took the liberty and made my own skin:

So I am a bit confused.
I am on 2.15.1, Vintage Filter and Multitap delay appear on my effect list, when I open them they have all parameters masked and I cannot use them but still I can change those parameters with Qlink on screen mode and I can load presets.
So they are useable but the GUI is not working.
Are they free?
How do I unlock them completely?

And how about Juno chorus?
Is it also free?

Is there an internet Akai page with ALL the effects I can buy?
It seems they are here and there, some on Air page, some on Akai, a bit confusing.
