Looks like it already expired (4/7). But it looks like a decent app and might try it out anyway. Thanks for the link! Dan

I was just playing with Portatron yesteday. It's nothing that you can't do with samples and effects in a DAW, but the nostalgia factor is pretty high. I kind of miss my 4-track Portastudio. There's something about the hands-on simplicity that keeps your concentration focused. And this plugin replicates that really well. Dan

Agreed - and that color scheme... 😬

Yes, and his cables are cut off in mid-air...

..or is it as fake as the steam coming from his coffee?? Best Drum Machine Library For Kontakt

$89.00 intro price (normally $129) Revelation Hybrid Mallets is the third Kontakt instrument in the Revelation series of rule breaking hybrid synths from Sound Yeti. Built on a foundation of three sampled mallet instruments: Marimba, Vibes and Glockenspiel, all with character-filled articulations and rich tonal control. https://soundyeti.com/product/revelation-hybrid-mallets/

I posted this over on VI-Control. Not knocking the dev at all, I usually like Sample Logic stuff and it's typically high-quality, but what put me off the most was the very short samples. There were very few patches that I feel were useful melodically. "I normally like Sample Logic libraries but I'm having a hard time finding something I like in this one. Many of the samples are very short (plucks, short flutes, vocal syllables, etc.). There are no articulations or useful modulations. No key switches. The effects have sequencing ability but even things like reverb don't give you any of the normal Kontakt options (different convolution sources, etc.). Maybe it's just me, but I would definitely wait for a walk through/patch demo for this one."

A wise decision. I jumped the gun and wish I hadn't. Just not a usable library for me. -Dan

If you have World AI, you should get an email with a code for another $25.00 off, so that brings the cost down to $50.00. But, I agree, they need to put out a walk-through video. -Dan

Ah - thanks! I think I will hold off then.

Thinking about U-HE Satin: $129 - $20 = $109...?

That and the fact they are developing a Linux version seems like a good bet they will support CLAP.

Anyone know if this is for new subscriptions only? I had a sub with them for a year but then didn't renew.

The next version will be called "Studio One + One"...
