How can I get my hands on this awesome plugin?

• We recommend installing Virtual Pianist from the UJAM App – it doesn’t matter if you’ve purchased it or are just starting the 30-day trial period.
  
  
  
• Or visit our trial page and get the free 30 day trial of VOGUE and VIBE: https://www.ujam.com/more/trials/
  
• Please note that you need an internet connection and also the UJAM App in order to install and use Virtual Pianist. The UJAM App works as a small helper tool for the Virtual Pianist plugin. For example, it helps to load presets and manages the trial time and authorization. That's why it needs to be running in the background while using the plugin.

We are aware of some issues that will eventually be fixed in future updates. This additional information will help you to quickly find a workaround, so you get the results you are looking for.

• Issues of VP VIBE:
  • Manual .blob relocation not possible (please use the UJAM App and define the external content folder in the settings)
  • Host control (start/stop) not possible via keyboard when in preset browser
  • Sometimes keys on OSK will highlight purple
  • When reloading a session with a user preset, the user preset folder will not be selected
  • Preset selection: sometimes the < > arrows don’t work
  • Pro Tools: When opening the plugin, Finisher & Ambience effects are disabled by default (can simply be enabled by switching presets)

  • You need to be logged in to the UJAM App in order to start the trial time.
  • It's possible to save presets with factory names which will reset the saved preset to default. Same goes for saving presets without entering a name at all.
  • There may be rare issues while saving presets.
    (Logic 10.7.2 on Mac OS 12 M1-based systems only)
  • Switching global presets sometimes causes noise
  • High frequency distortion with some Finisher modes when fully engaged
  • Recalling a session and duplicating instances can lead to a rather slow performance in Pro Tools
