Expanse is a massive CPU hog on my system - have to put the buffer to 4096 to use successfully. Anybody having better results than me ?

thanks all - downloading now 

just for sake of completeness the first pack (is?) was originally at:

https://sonniss.com/sound-effects/free-download-game-audio/

this has a pdf of the included files

7 zip did the trick for me, but some of the files are not playable. 

which ones - I'll check here

thanks Larry

anybody had any luck with zip file 2 ? downloaded a few times and from the mirrors but get invalid zip archive in windows. ?

others seem ok

edit....

opened with 7-zip must just be something about the file that the windows unzipper doesn't like

That deal does require an existing Biotek v1 license.

But it is a nice upgrade! I took advantage of a similar deal last year.

I got a free Biotek v1 licence when I registered some focusrite / novation gear on their website a couple of weeks ago.

... if you install it if gives you a choice between VST2 and VST3, but, in fact, will only install VST2.

installed a VST3 here ?

crashes cubase too - mostly but not every time

having played with this for 48 hours or so - and owning SD3 / AD2 / BFD3 - I say this is a no-brainer

heads up on this - I bought the two drummer plugins,  They are basically terrible....

the save/load midi mapping presets doesn't work - it seems like only 1 sample per drum - very little round robin -the closed hihat doesn't cut off the open/mid hat so you can't really used the open hats at all.  So all in all not very impressive

At $9 it's not the end of the world but I'd have been annoyed if I'd paid full price.  The amp sims 'may' be better but probably best demo them first

Picked this - it's great fun

the inbuilt sounds are pretty usable too - I ended up buying some (most!) of the addons too.
