In reply to p. Waves plugin versions are backwards compatible. If you own license v15, than you can also install v14. Detailed instructions can be found on Waves website.

In reply to Numanoid. I signed up days ago before it started. Tried again yesterday. Tried again today. Nothing. They sure did send me an ad to buy other things, but no freebie. Yes. I checked my junk folder and my waves account.

Still on MacOS Catalina, so it won’t install because of the new Waves Central v15 needing a newer OS…
Waves’ helpful website says that in order to install, I need an upgrade to Waves Central v14, lol

I assume they won’t give the downgraded v14 version of the plugin, at least not for free.

After their last PR debacle and subsequent retreat, should I attempt to contact Customer Support?
I’m gun shy.

I’m so burnt on them, I think I’ll pass. Am I wrong to think this way?

Too bad, might’ve been fun. But in the end, do I really need another synth? I’m probably better off focusing on the ones I already have, and just getting down to making some music, rather than chasing my tail with Waves.

Legowelt has released “the Legowelt magic DX7 cart” that can be loaded in VSTs like Dexed

He says it contains lots of dreamy and archaic dark ambient pads. It is free.

Guys, I am warning you this app even though is a free app, I am very thankful, it is not a new product.
This was released something like 5 years ago.
Today is the first time ever I heard of this so I believe it didnt make much noise.
Talking about noise, also sounds, this synth sounds pretty average. If you put it side by side with say Massive X, you can easily appreciate the difference. The sound sounds cheap and muddy. There are some sounds you can use depending on where you want to use them but yes those are usable.
Again, keep in my this is not a new release, it is just a synth from many that didnt take off at the time of launching, for a reason.

In reply to Alexander.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V14\Flow Motion.bundle\Contents\Win64

BUT

I’m running it in FL Studio (latest version) too, and though it tested fine in Reaper, it freezes the entire Windows 10 PC and leaves no option but to do a power button shutdown then restart. It is really frustrating.

The Waves site has a Support reply to an FL Studio user. It says it is essential to only load the VST3 version of the plugin, but omits any description of how to disarm others, so it is a useless bit of ‘help’. Seems like the Waves Support Team must have assisted with a bit of remote troubleshooting. That isn’t great as far as security goes. It would have been better to have described where the other versions are located, and how best to deactivate them.

Maybe someone will know a solution and add it here.

Hi all! A newbie here. I have installed the synth via the Waves portal. I can access the app as standalone, but the plugin can’t be found within Ableton Live 12. Any guidance would be great, thanks!

Hi everyone! For those who managed to open it in FL Studio, could you please tell me which path to specify?
