Audiority Polaris v1.8.1 (WIN/OSX) Regged-RET screenshot
RET | 08.2021 | 18.6 MB
Polaris is an echo/reverb plugin inspired by early hardware digital reverbs of the late 1970s (like the Ursa Major SST-282) and able to provide echo, ambience and reverb out of a single multitap delay line.

When hardware digital reverbs came out to the market they were really expensive. Most manufacturers were already exploiting chains of comb and allpass filters (smoother reverbs, but expensive in both resources and chips), there were other techniques involving the use of a single multitap delay line to create a reasonable reverb while keeping the cost affordable.

That idea is so simple yet powerful: you mix a bunch of unmodulated taps (Early Reflections) with the remaining modulated taps (Diffusion) to create a cheap but convincing reverb.

We extended this technique by making the Echo tap recirculating with the Diffusion section, allowing longer reverb tails. Furthermore you can easily edit all taps to create your own room responses, resonant combs, Karplus-like tuned delay lines, Chorus, Flanging, Vibrato and much more.

SPECIFICATIONS
Single Multitap Delay Line
Pre-Delay
Early Reflections (8 Programmable Taps)
Diffusion (16 Programmable Modulated Taps)
Echo (Ms, Sync, Tuned, Long)
Echo Modulation
Modulation Boost
3 Band Feedback Equalizer
LFO (Sin/Tri/Rnd – Hz, Sync)
Shimmer
Sample Rate Reduction
Stereo Width
Swell

v1.8.1 (July 2021)
– FIX: Rare condition where licenses get invalidated

PC VST2/VST3 is unpacked from UPX-MOD for the better installer compression.
Otherwise, they are fully original binaries. AAX works in legit PT.

Audiority protection is similar to u-he (see last R2R NFO 2020-JAN). Once
legit license is leaked, other legit license can be generatable.

Attention!

If ever you have installed the V.R. last Audiority release before, you must first delete:

"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Audiority\Licenses\Polaris.alf"

...before installing.

Then you can install, then use the Polaris.aif file provided by RET in the .rar to register the plugin. 'click on "load a license" on the plug interface).

RET recommends to firsts block www.audiority.com (with the hosts file, or with a firewall), I think it's a good advice!

(You can also of course disconnect from internet, register the license, quit your DAW, then only now you can reconnect and, I suppose, start using the plugin normally, but it's not as secure and efficient as to really block the vendor's site)

Nice that you think RET gives " a good advice " in the text file explanation ( - why copy it here ? -. But this is ok. What is not is :=> )
quote by Earth33(You can also of course disconnect from internet, register the license, quit your DAW, then only now you can reconnect and, I suppose, start using the plugin normally,

Absolutely not.
quote by Earth33but it's not as secure and efficient as to really block the vendor's site)

Which is ok again. Except that visiting the home site will then be impossible.

So they invented firewalls.

Some people who come here simply don't know how to block a site, be it by using the 'hosts' file or by using a firewall.

(Personally I use the windows defender firewall on win and Little Snitch on mac, but I can't generalize my personal, special case to all mankind...? )

What to do to keep this p-i registered in explained by RET in the text info, which everyone downloaded...

The rest - which I underlined - was wrong. So yes the newcomers will get lost.

But my luminescent persnona intervent so now they are saved again.

BTW : what are you doing here? You should be looking at JHS Pedals new episode : " Have You Seen Flamma? " , it's Friday !

Is this the only plugins from the V.R release that has been causing problem (silence timebomb) ? It's the plugin I used yesterday that caused the timebomb and I kinda assumed the whole bundle potentially has timebomb. Didn't have the issue when I was testing the Polycomp though.

Just want to make sure before I install this over the V.R release (after delete the license file for this plugin of course, among other things).
It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you’re not.

From what I read from yesterday, aka :=>


it looks as all p-i are in demo mode, not only the present one. Giving it a clean try...

The problem I see on my side is that the V.R. installs have locked the license (.aif) files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Audiority\Licenses.

Proof: In a comandline (cmd.exe) prompt window type:
attrib C:\Users\Public\Documents\Audiority\Licenses\*.*

You will see that most of the files have the attributes: System, Hidden and Read-only (You will see the letters SHR at the left).

This was set on purpose by the V.R. install.

To be able to use the new RETSU license, you can remove these useless attributes in typing:
attrib C:\Users\Public\Documents\Audiority\Licenses\*.* -S -H -R

This way, if ever, in the future, RETSU (or R2R) makes us happy again in releasing other Audiority plugs, you will not have any problem to delete the corresponding V.R. license(s) in Windows explorer, and then to install the RET/R2R license.

I realized this this morning, when each time I tried to register the new license, the plug-in kept on refusing it. It was simply due to the fact that it cannot remove/replace a file with the "SYSTEM", "HIDDEN" and "READ-ONLY" attribute, the plugin doesn't have the authorization to do that.

It's why I let this note earlier.

My dear, this is all superfluous and WRONG.

First, sincerely, if you want to give Team V.R's and RET lessons at what they have to do, you're living in another planet. Or you can start reversing top notch protections too .

So, here, exactly, for the present RET release : there is NOTHING so complex to type, code, remove, navigate too, there is NO file to hide or not, hidden or not, there is NO system file involved here. NOTHING. NADA. NIET.

There is exclusively this Polaris.alf to copy where needed and indicated by RET, block INs / OUTs of the OS by the firewall, that's it. That's all. END.

Now what happens it that this release is incompatible with the registration present in " Audiority Effects Plugin Bundle 2021.8 CE-V.R ". The 2 setups are contradictory. It's one or the other, not both.

Tested and retested.

if it is the permission problem, running the DAW as Admin should easily fix it right ?

I manually done what you suggested though, Polaris is working okay but I detected one other plugin "The Abuser" giving the timebomb, 8 others didn't cause problem, weird. Let's just hope V.R come out with Rev.2 or something. or RET. or R2R.

About to play guitar with the Bluesman plugin (no timebomb). It was modeled after the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal and I have a clone/remake from JHS (Morning Glory) and it is my favourite guitar pedal ever for 10 years on the pedalboard already now I think. Let's see how good the Audiority emu is.

Yes, this is strange...

Mmmmm. Uninstalled all VR release, which doesn't work. Followed all instructions but still doesn't accept license. Added to hosts file etc. License is invalid.

Any answers please. I really like this reverb.

Licence is fine AFAIC.

But in fact I needed to re-start the DAW ( Samplitude Pro X5 ) for this plug-in to be registered ( Win 10 x64 ) .

i tried 4 other plugins for 10 minutes each from the V.R bundle none of them have the silence timebomb except Polaris. I also like that one.

Well, the other alternative to the "Ursa Major" is the Altiverb (with the SST282 IR of course) if you really want its sound.

EDIT : I tried the Earth33 suggestion above and it works okay no timebomb, good news for you.

Yep ! I found why ( last surviving neurone working ) : because the present Polaris reg. file - Polaris.alf - is overwritten when we install the full bundle by Team V.R. In fact : erased ( you can check the reg folder, it's gone ) -.

As written previously here ( somewhere... ) : with the bundle, all working fine, for now but... for now only...

If useful :

In the plugin's " Settings " window ( click on the audiority LOGO ), we can modify the original Presets directory as well as the License directory.

AFAIC, I prefer those in a more " hidden " / safe place.
