Resident Evil 4 Ultimate Item Modifier V1 1 (2027)
If you used V1.1 during a cutscene or a typewriter save, you could corrupt your save file. The infamous "Inventory Glitch of 2009" occurred when a user spawned a "Golden Egg" in a key item slot, causing the game to crash whenever they opened the map. The fix? Delete savegame.dat and start over. The Ethics: Cheating or Enhancing? In 2025 (or 2026), with the Remake out and the original available on every platform, the debate seems quaint. But back then, purists on GameFAQs would flame anyone using V1.1.
If you played the original 2007 “Ubisoft port” (the one infamously missing mouse support) or the later Source Next version, you know the struggle. You had tank controls, a fixed inventory grid, and a merchant who refused to sell you the Chicago Typewriter until you beat Professional mode.
It ruins the tension. RE4 is a horror game about resource management. Giving yourself 999 rifle ammo at the cabin fight destroys the intended design. Resident Evil 4 Ultimate Item Modifier V1 1
I fall in the middle. The most fun I ever had with RE4 was using V1.1 to do a . You can’t do that without infinite flashbangs. How to Use V1.1 Today (Yes, It Still Works) If you own the original 2007 PC port (not the Ultimate HD Edition from 2014—that broke most memory editors), V1.1 is still functional.
Enter V1.1—a 512KB executable that turned Leon S. Kennedy from a harried secret service agent into a time-traveling arms dealer with a god complex. In the simplest terms, this tool is a memory editor and save game manipulator. Unlike modern cheat engines that require you to scan for hex values manually, V1.1 presents a beautiful, terrifyingly simple GUI. If you used V1
It was clunky. It was risky. It occasionally turned Ashley’s armor into a TMP. But for a generation of PC gamers, V1.1 wasn’t a cheat—it was a key to a second playthrough.
The modifier intercepts the game’s pointer address. When you click "Add Chicago Typewriter," the tool writes 0x1A 0x63 (or similar hex values) directly into that memory slot. Delete savegame
I am talking, of course, about the holy grail of early RE4 modding: .
Great plugin, but I wanted to pass the BPM to a downstream VST, I cannot see how to get the BPM out as a parameter.
This is brilliant. Thank you!
Saverio, thanks! I just got this plugin. I can see how it could be helpful.
I watched the video on the sales page. However, how does the MIDI output work? I didn't see it reviewed in the video.
Not great. Wanted this for BPM detection. Even with an electronic pop drum generator, SongKey was several BPM off the actual tempo and it takes too long to register a change in tempo, if it detects the change at all. Has potential but not reliable.
I admit I use it a lot, for samples, tracks and root notes. The design is great, minimalist and overall clean. However, the accuracy decreases with the number of notes and, for example, chord-heavy EDM tracks are usually inaccurate by a semitone.
This is decent for simple chords but seems to get confused when playing 5 or 6 note chords. Accuracy definitely dips when dealing with more complex stuff, hence the rating.
Any idea when the AAX version will be ready for Pro Tools 2023 on Apple Silicon? Without it, my harmonies sometimes sound like a tone deaf Balkans choir… (Just kidding, but it IS such a useful plugin.)
Hello.
I think it would be useful to have a MIDI detection priority button and an audio detection priority button on the MK4.
Very useful plugin, I really like the standalone app
Come to iOS Auv3 please
Exactly what I need and no more.
I don't need more instruments, I don't need a ton of junk in my plugins. I just need to do one thing and one thing right. I'm very happy that Hornet Plugins has created this piece of software!
El plugin es inestable y genera saturación de CPU en Ableton Live Standar 11.1.6.
Me estaba volviendo loco hasta que descubrí que este pequeño estaba usando el 100% de CPU. W10, I9 11900k, 32gb RAM DDR4, Disco Samsung nmve 1tb y pc a estrenar casi. Utizaba el 3 y no me pasaba nada de esto. Ya avisareis cuando lo solucionéis. Son buenos productos y me gusta la compañía.
Tempo detection doesn't seem to work properly. For example for "Dirty Mind" (PandaBoyz) it says 123 bpm when the actual bpm is 126. That song has a strong kick & bass for the first 8 bars that should be easy enough to detect.
Nice plugin though… but a more reliable bpm detection would be nice.
I just bought but Im getting audio glitches in NI Maschine with this plugin, needs optimization. I tried both AU and VST same thing..
I am a full time Mix Engineer. I didn't expect to, but I use Songkey MK4 regularly, and has been part of my Pre-Mix Template. since MK3, to verify my findings, It does what they say they'll do. Their free upgrades is an indicator to me of how much a company cares about their customers, as opposed to companies like the $29 special price company that nickel-dimes you at every turn. .
Thank you for the demo Saverio:) Fantastic plugin! I am not a musician but a producer and songwriter and this would really speed up the process of finding chords as base to be inspired from for an arrangement. I should definitely try it out.
Best,

We updated drastically the detection engine with SongKey MK3, this update is an evolutive update keeping the same detection engine but improving the crhromagram generation. IF you want to know more just drop me a line
could you please let us have the tracks that misbehave?
Hi we'll shot a video soon demonstrating how the plugin works!
Very useful plugin! I use it to quick balance all my imported track.
Question… is the MK4 update free to MK3 owners?
