They're in caps because of me? Well now... I'm honoured.

Deal prices are now also available on Time+Space

I caved in... Just installed the libs, and my first question is: why are all instrument names spelt IN CAPITAL LETTERS, except Signal?

So then I tried this code at the Plugin Alliance site.. got a pop up message that told me to f*** off

I'm quite surprised by that: I would have expected it to tell you that for that price, you could get over 100 plugins worth over $30,000 for around 0 months by subscribing to their Mega Plugin pack... either that, or that there was a minimum spend of $30 to use that code.

Anyone know if this is any good? I've already got Audiority's TS-1, Boz's Transgressor, and the one that comes with Komplete: I know it's free but I don't want to add another plugin to my list if I'm unlikely to use it.

The sounds reminds me of listening to MIDI files with my old SoundBlaster back in the day 🙂

I emailed them to ask about upgrading from Portal. Apparently upgrades are independent from the sale price - you can either buy the bundle at sale price, or you can buy an upgrade at non-sale price. A little sucky, but still cheaper than the non-sale bundle price.

Seems interesting - I watched a shorter video on it to get an overall feel and was hoping someone would be able to fill in the gaps on something for me. The video I watched mentioned that it can suggest certain chord progressions in a particular style: in demo, the guy clicked on one of the options and a chord progression appeared in the top section of the plugin. Are those more like presets (i.e. you get the same progression each time), or is it something more like 'give me some chords in the style of' and it generates them according to some algorithm?

I have bought Vengeance Glitch bitch without realizing that I would need dongle to use it. Looking for something to replace it's functionality.

It's not on sale right now, but how about Gross Beat?

PS. Are you able to get a refund on Glitch bitch? If you don't have a dongle, you can't have 'used' the license.

And therein lies the problem with items that consistently move on and off my wishlist 🙂

To be honest, I did like the sound of analogue strings/brass; Signal did look inspirational. November's not over - time will tell...

The Output bundle's been flirting with a place on my wishlist for a long time now. I finally talked myself out of it last month and settled with Portal alone (using a T+S discount code), not realising Output would be having a sale this month 🙁

So with the sale going, the GAS is kicking in again and for some reason I'm contemplating the bundle all over again. Their stuff does look really cool, but I do wonder if I'd end up actually using it in my music; this pretty much sums up what I'm worried I'll be feeling like:

They look like a 10 but for me in practice they were a 2.  

Thanks Reid: I think you've helped me save some cash for some other BF deals!

Last I heard, their synth Union didn't support MIDI velocity. It was also quite CPU hungry, which it has been pointed out, is quite common for wavetable synths. These factors may or may not have changed with the latest updates, and may or may not affect your decision to buy.

Funny that KV331 ended their $4 expansion sale yesterday. I think the overall effect would have been greater if these offers had run in parallel.

Completely agree: knowing their $4 sale ended yesterday, I went ahead and upgraded my player to the full versions and added four expansions. Had I known they would sale the everything bundle I probably would have made an impulse buy and bought the bundle. Oh well, not too crushed I have only four expansions: I ended up paying less, and so I have a little more to put towards other BF deals.

anybody seen a discount on the full version "shimmer, shake, strike" ?

They had one a little while back (along with their other titles), but it's ended now

On the other hand, I just do not see myself spending any money for another sampled VI at this point.

Unless I'm mistaken (which I could well be), they're modelled rather than sampled

Hey I thought Macs were better than Window boxes. No?🤣

One of my 'favourite' Mac sales lines is (paraphrased): Mac's don't get PC viruses

Maybe it's because I'm ok with music theory, but I don't see why square would be easier to handle than e.g. C: a chord sequence of square, hexagon, hexagon, triangle, pentagon, square doesn't seem that friendly to me.

I don't understand: when I logged in, my 'upgrade' price was 299 euros - exactly the same as a new customer for the BF sale (and I have V Collection 6) 😕

What is the link between the intel driver and ilok ?

I can't say for sure - my guess would be that it's a motherboard driver that's responsible for using thermal sensors/sending signals to onboard cooling fans (i.e. a very low-level driver); ilok is a very low-level security related driver that wants access to everything, and the two both overlap in some way?

plankjock doesn't really sound like a domain that would be good to visit... for anything...

Hmm... I feel a Coldplay inspired song coming...

Look at the LEDs
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow

Dunno; probably not. But... I can't imagine it would take that long to just switch everything off at night, given it's causing you this much distress

Finally found a website with options for the meltdown, though an idiotic suggestion that if your keyboard doesn't respond, type in such and such into the search field.

Reminds me of the old messages that used to say something like Keyboard error! Press F1 to continue

Point of all this crap is that win 10 makes it very difficult to stop the automatic updates. You can of course go in and delay updates. There are more obscure command line options to stop the intrusion. Can dig into the services menu to stop the invasion (hopefully) but found the updates magically turned on again if you take this route.

Don't know if this is what you already mean by delaying updates but with 1903 you can pause updates for up to 35 days in the advanced options for updates.

Are any of the expansions included in either SynthMaster One or 2.9? Just wondering if I upgrade from Player, are there any expansions that I should avoid buying to avoid having duplicate content/wasted purchases?

That would have been funnier 3 years ago. Now it seems within the realm of possibility.
