Fluffy Audio has dropped the latest in their "Rarities" series -- free forever, so far as I know: https://www.fluffyaudio.com/shop/khim/ From the description: Full Kontakt only, I'm afraid.

This is getting concerning. It's day three since he vanished, I think. I truly hope all is well. Larry is very much like a National Treasure to many of us.

FWIW, I think it goes without saying that you need proper tools to make top-tier Profiles/Captures/etc. No different than mic'ing a real amp. Some audio interfaces (ie: Antelope) have built-in "re-amp" capabilities. Most audio interfaces don't. For those that don't, you'll need to grab something like this Radial box (~$250): https://www.radialeng.com/product/x-amp "Holy Grail" amps are different for different users/uses. Brad Paisley, John Patrucci , Joe Bonnamassa, Slash, Steve Vai would likely each have a different idea of perfection. Thus far, I prefer Quad Cortex Captures vs. Kemper Profiles. To my ears, they're more accurate. Quad Cortex can run up to 9 simultaneous Captures (stereo rigs, individual boost/drive pedal captures, etc). GE Labs (Mooer) to my ears isn't as accurate as Kemper/QC. It'll be interesting to see how accurate the IK's Machine Modeling sounds. If it's on-par with the Kemper/QC, it'll be a hit.

Come home.

I got the Izotope verb.

Well, ain't you special.

Absolutely agree!

Tantra 2 at $25 and Thorn at $20 are both worth grabbing if you haven’t got them already. Good price on Knifonium at $25, but everytime I’ve played with it it’s failed to wow me. YMMV. I don’t get the appeal of analog EQ emulations or console emulations which is great – it’s saved me a ton of money! 🙂

And don’t forget you can use the code WELCOME-BACK-25-OFF for $25 off any order of $29 or more (if you have not used it already)

This. Cakewalk by BandLab is light years ahead of Sonar X3.

While it's nice of all of you to care about Larry's absence, maybe you ought to be out making some money since you know it will all disappear upon Larry's return! 😁 (Although it's possible that Larry has simply taken all of the commissions he has earned from you guys and bought a tropical island to retire on... 🤔😜)

Pretty sure it’ll work for you too: WELCOME-BACK-25-OFF (use it on top of the plug-in voucher)

How they approached it was a mixed bag. However, getting the 3 extra kits for $28 out of pocket was about the only way they got me to jump on the "upgrade" - seperate kits at that price point or higher was a no go and the normal IKM upgrade pricing is also a no go. This is actually about the best I've seen for an expansion from IKM...an option that offers what you don't have at a reasonable price point. As for the next group buy...they haven't released enough stuff since the last one where I bougth into the group buy to get virtually everything to spend on the tier it would take to get the new stuff. I'd expect I'm a few GBs out from jumping on another one. I did get the recent Synth GB but havne't even opened a single one yet. Edit: Adding to the thought here - I wish we had the same treatment for the Modo Bass upgrade. At $28 I would have jumped on the new basses and patterns engine. At around $150 minus JamPoints I can't come close to stomaching it as a previous version full owner personally.

Yes, I did and I'm full up! I've been eying the Tape plugins and Fame and few others for a while and this was a great way to pick up them up and was totally worth it. I just wish there was something to do with extra picks... 🤔

I don't have "Holy Grail" amps, hence why I use AT5.

I believe this thread reflects what brain fog from long Covid must feel like

Agreed, I miss him....not sure my wallet does 🤪

if they leave s1v5 as is that's ok by me

Me and myself got Shadow Hills A and the Amek 9099 channel. Still pondering over Neold Warble (but I’ve got XLN RC-20, Slate VTM and Wavesfactory Cassette) or Knif Soma (but I’ve got the IK version) or Tomo Lisa (but I’ve got enough dynamic EQs with better GUIs).

Hopefully Larry's just enjoying a bit of downtime rather than having to dash off to tend to family matters as he sometimes needs to. If I posted all the deals he stays on top of I'd need time off to let my fingers recover from all that typing anyway...perhaps he just has cramp. Wishing you well, Larry.

Larsy you have my full support for whatever your decision and further steps might be. Love from Finlandia ❤

Same case here. The updated APD sale page speaks volumes and at least clears up some things - thanks BTP! One good thing about this thread - it relieved some GAS on this old soul. I'll just wait for another group buy or holiday sale for the new kits - it's not like I don't already have enough drums to (or not) work with! 😇

I'm just starting the Unify journey through the looking glass, but the more I see and read, the more I think it was $79 well spent. Spitfire LABS and Heavyocity Foundations are really the only two free instruments I use. During my 70 years on this dirt ball, I've discovered that there really is no free lunch. But there's nothing wrong with not wanting to pay more than necessary for that lunch. And I'm especially happy if my money goes directly to the farmer/developer.

So, if one owns the original MODO Drum, then adding MODO DRUM SE 1.5 will result in owning the full MODO DRUM 1.5?

I am still on MODO drum 1.1.3 (full). 10 kits. No drama here!

Ahhh! Well... That idea didn't work either, but I did finally stumble on the secret! This might get more refined as I use it more, but this is the scene... Select the note Select the tool split type Dbl-Click on the vertical line at note junction which has already changed to a different marker appearance Now using the note slip tool works independent of neigbor notes! At Last I can repeat this! I may have missed or done things not/necessary and I will clean it up with more use, but at least I'm finally on the path. I really needed this tool as the work arounds have been driving me batty! 😉

What a couple of boobs...... craigb and sheens are.

You know that people let you win because they really don't want you to lose, right ? 😉

If anyone didn't realize how important Larry is to this forum, they're realizing it now. I made a single deal thread yesterday to try to help. But without Larry, the threads have basically dried up. The critic who came after Larry hasn't contributed a single deal thread. I think it would be a nice gesture if that person posted an apology to Larry. This is a small community with a kind, friendly vibe that has kept me coming back. But I recall my own experience where an online bully made numerous vicious personal attacks on me in this forum because he was angry when I wrote that he misquoted me and was misrepresenting a point I made. The experience temporarily destroyed the enjoyment I normally have at this forum. Despite many years of managing and consulting on social media for major brands and being well aware of how badly some people behave in social media, being personally attacked at a place where I never expected it, a place that has always been very friendly, with others who shared my love of making music where I could chill, was jarring. I didn't see it coming, and it didn't fit with my perception of this forum. Now, I wouldn't go as far as saying that Larry dealt with bullying, I don't think it reached that level, but it was hostile behavior and the guy followed him around in multiple threads, so that impacted Larry's environment a good deal. I think it's clear from Larry's responses that it did bother him and once again, when you consider how much effort he puts into this forum, I think he's far more emotionally invested than most here. So he's likely going to take a personal attack harder than those who are more casual visitors. Has anyone PMed Larry and heard back? I wish we could all send him a greeting card and let him know that we miss him. If anyone wants to do a petition to bring Larry back, I'd sign. This forum is not the same without him. It's a giant loss even for a couple of days.

The thing is that Skippy is a master sound designer with decades of synth programming experience. He hired a Ph.D computer scientist to take his "what if" or "can I do this" ideas and use them to develop Unify. It's essentially the mind of Skippy in an app. Nothing else like it. Yes, time saving means money to Skippy.

OMG - IT WORKED... 😊

7 days to go and we don't plan to extend the T-RackS Group Buy again, just FYI

Just a heads up: 41 free products 48 away from 42 free products 4 days left 4 sure!

I am dumb. I still don't get it. I think I will need to see more teaser videos.

It was just wrong information on the APD page. The SE version doesn't give you all the kits, just the 5 (or the 3 new ones if you have the 1.0 version). They've removed the incorrect information. It doesn't mention 13 kits anymore.

I think many folks probably had the same thought! Simple way would be to begin by adding a Spitfire orchestral preset as a layer in a blank Unify patch. Then add a new Epic Choir preset layer to that current Unify patch. Tweak and polish. Add more layers if desired, adjust key splits and layers, etc., as needed. Save as new Unify patch.

Told ya

It's only been a few days, but I see you're progressing well through the various stages of grief! 🤣

I've beat the king a good handful of times over the years.. three or four IIRC. He almost never checks the Synth Magic sales. I suspect he will now though.
