[@orlanegrunevald9176]

Thank you so much. Being able to load and use our samples is really a very, very appreciable “plus”.

[@ZozillaThaGreat]

At first i was like "YES THEY UPADTED PADSHOP" /..... but nope , nice freebee but please STEINBERG , update PADHSOP and bring it to 2024 standard !!!

[@grumpyoutdoors]

I would have been way more excited about a padshop update. Tried it for a bit then deleted.

[@JimCPettigrew]

Nice work - when you import your own sample; how do you bypass all effects in the X-Stream Spectral Synthesizer to compare and build from there etc?

[@robst247]

Thanks for this great free gift, Steinberg.

[@garret765]

How does the CPU load compare to Izotope Iris 2?

[@atimeofshadows]

Thanks Dom for this awesome video and thank you Steinberg for such an awesome free synth, you guys rock.

[@MariaKosmabass]

Wow, I didn't know I needed this in my life! Thanks Steinberg 👍

[@jrettetsohyt1]

Were you using a Genki wave ring?

[@BF-up5xw]

Thank you! I have installed this. Less for the presets than for the GUI, which could be a short cut for me when using the spectral oscillator. The presets are impressive in themselves though.

[@stackedfat]

Thanks. Very nice product.

[@ObsidianEchoes69]

Just when I thought Pigments was my go to this drops. And it’s free. The sounds and textures are excellent and I love using my own sound files best.

[@xkimu]

Mind blowing! What a treat. Nice Steinberg.

[@neurokinetik]

Ooh boy, think I'm going to have to get on making some IDM type stuff with this.

[@vidalbk2325]

how to make the sample play polyphony ?

[@muriloliro109]

This is very nice synthesizer. Thanks Steinberg

[@zpider242]

Some nice Tomita sounding atmospherics there.

[@freeradical82]

how do I open this inside of reaper?

[@eliaszerano3510]

can you import your own samples ? btw VPS Avenger can also do such kind of things.

[@DaleLindsay]

What's weird is that I was just thinking about spectral synthesizers a couple of weeks ago, and pining for Cube by Virsyn that I lost long ago. Then, this pops up and it sounds effing amazing! Haven't been this excited for a synth since Absynth (RIP) and Omnisphere releases. Excellent work on this one.

[@bigredracingteam9642]

Absynth was amazing!

[@fictionclemens]

Thank you! This instrument is stunning.... Is anyone else having trouble dragging and dropping their own samples? All tutorials I watch make it look simple, but I just get a negation symbol when I hover my .wav file over the spectral zone, and nothing will drop.

[@user-uu5sg7ji7b]

Where do I find X-Stream 😊

[@cammillar4068]

Amazing 'bonus' from you! Wow. Thanks! Just bought the Halion upgrade a minute ago, and this is another sonic delight.

[@stageactor1958]

I'm an acoustic singer/songwriter, but now I feel I HAVE to make some ambient tracks!

[@BassFunMusic]

Awesome sounds ♥♥♪

[@edrugmanmusic]

Just wondering is this a monophonic instrument? (Ignoring the stack feature)

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

Yes.

[@DaveDickens]

Can’t wait to try it out! Cheers Dave

[@GuitarBeast-xp8dp]

Is there a manual online anywhere? I can't seem to get presets to load.

[@VSTInstrumentsPlugIns]

Did you get the license at the product page from X-Stream? In case you did not, click here on the button: "Get X-Stream for free" and follow the instructions. Find the manual for X-Stream here: www.steinberg.help/r/x-stream/1.0/en

@@VSTInstrumentsPlugIns Thanks so much. I got it through the Steinberg Downloader.

absolute amazing - just started with Braams - it blows away 🤩

[@herlansariolLl]

It's amazing i use in my cubase and 😊

[@marcevo3540]

Super great... Portamento perhaps?

[@DeanBothaMusic]

So... How do you actually record with it? Anyone?

[@sacredserpent9667]

What kind of question is that. The same way you record with any midi instrument. Arm the track, press record and play the synth

[@DeanBothaMusic]

@@sacredserpent9667 Geez dude, if you start out with a condescending remark, you might as well rather not say anything. Not everyone is an expert. Some of us are new to all of this and just starting out. You learn by asking questions, no matter how stupid it may seem to someone else.

[@LiftYourselfFitness]

I'm getting the red dots for all of the X-Stream presets.

[@blaizo]

You must log into Steinberg account to then 'activate' the instrument.

[@DaleLindsay]

Cool as hell! But, not available yet?

[@VSTInstrumentsPlugIns]

Now it is live and also in Steinberg Download Assistant available. You were a little bit too early ;-)

[@daved9665]

Yeah, at first mine was delayed too until I found the online Download Assistant link update to activate it. Working now.

[@daved9665]

Dom is great at this! Watched his edit on his channel first. Fun sound potential.

[@lib747]

Is this guy all of Steinberg? 🙂

[@gamerturniton3081]

I dont think he was ever part of the Strindberg team as he said, he was just asked to make a few patches.

[@lib747]

​@@gamerturniton3081 He's in a ton of Steinberg product videos. If he's doing all of them for free, he's independently wealthy, and his purpose in live is to make Steinberg product videos.

[@meinnamegehtkeinenwasan4781]

I dont like him. I would prefer Videos without seeinh people all the time.

[@stizan9185]

I like him the most

That's a pretty nice gift from Steinberg! Thanks! BTW I just realized that I have been watching (and enjoying!) Dom's music editing and sound design videos for so many years now that I noticed his beard is slowly getting grey... 🤔😉😁

i take it this cant load ur own samples?...that would canabalize padshop and halion...but I'm even surprised they giving this away...hoping you get hooked and want to use your own samples...smart

You CAN load your own samples but I think Padshop can do much more.

[@jonathansaunders6697]

[@nightfrightshow]

this is a great improvement on a 40 year old idea Roland D-550.

[@bigredracingteam9642]

The Roland D50/D550 was based on a completely different concept, namely the use of short samples (the "attack" part) combined with subtractive synthesis.

[@PALMLINES]

Seth Rollins going hard on the keys...

[@gamerturniton3081]

Like if we needed another plugin!! Not really free, there is always a catch, nobody gives anything for free remember that. this guy is very euphoric and proud for making a few patches for this synth

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

If you already have Cubase, it's free of charge to download and use.

[@jadonx]

using in studio one free through Halion Sonic 7

[@user-lr7up5vl6r]

Thank's a lot Dom ... Studio EAD, France

[@doggity5149]

Where's the real creativity though...? Select a preset and turn your modwheel to make it "unique". Am I the only one who doesn't like to use these kinds of plugins? It feels so uninspired using them

[@jonathanross7530]

I downloaded X Stram, but Steinberg constantly refuses to activate the plug-in

[@e.d.8215]

Just in case you don't know: you also need to install the "Steinberg Activation Manager".

You need halion sonic 7 to use it
