thanks Zo - you've cost me money 👿

demos are available: eg https://www.gforcesoftware.com/products/imposcar2/demo_download Zo - which ones do you rate ?

In many ways it's not really a standard bundle at all - it gets added to your account as individual plugins too. I assume there is some legal "abbey road" thing going on

I have the M-tron but nothing else, but here's my 2 cents: These synths have been around for a long time in one form or another - doesn't make them bad but I suspect they haven't had a lot of dev time over the years. Up until recently the m-tron was the only decent mellotron vsti - and they offer loads of expansion tapes, but it really is overpriced for 2019. I have the arturia collecton that now includes a mellotron and I probably wouldn't have bought m-tron if the arturia was around at the time. The GUI on the m-tron is a little bit last century I don't believe there is a demo version of these so no real way of knowing if they are any good - it's a real shame as it's good to support smaller developers over the big companies....... TLDR: I'd pass

SYNTH SALE! 3 for £99.99, 2 for £66.66, 1 for £33.33 Hi For the first time we're offering you the opportunity to purchase our synthesizers, impOSCar2®, Oddity2® and Minimonsta® at the truly impulse price of £33.33 each. This unique offer runs until 25th December, 2019. https://www.gforcesoftware.com/gshop/products they are hardly giving you any discount for buying more than one so not quite sure why they are drawing attention to 3 for £99.99 ? Full version of Kontakt not required - neither is the Kontakt player (blah blah blah getting bored of this now 🙄)

https://www.waves.com/support/waves-update-plan in tiny writing ..... "The Abbey Road Collection is excluded from new plugins being added for free with a current Waves Update Plan"

possibly true - but I remember getting a free version via xln a few years ago and that was revalver HPse, some kind of cut down verson ?

run waves central to install (an update for that too!) some kind of updates to the new berzerk distortion - and another random update full version of kontakt 'may' be required ?

@paulo I can't be bothered to read it for you but as it's you I can cut and paste it for you ------------------------- Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues with the downloader - you can also use our manual download system: 1. Please go to www.8dio.net/manuallink 2. Insert the email address used for your purchase 3. Copy/Paste the ENTIRE serial code example: 8DioRequiemProfessional11-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------- ^^^^^^ obviously that serial isn't mine and is the demo one

you can do a manual download of this - read the emails etc

run native access to install minor fix to AAX plugin FULL Kontact is needed to install this (unless of course the same fix applies to Kontakt player - in that case go for it - basically this is a public service announcement and I don't have time or the inclination to do the research on your behalf 🕊️ YMMV) (kontakt says 6.2.1(r42) after this update)

perfect thanks very much @scook

has anybody found a manual for this - I know there is info online but I do like a pdf

the $29 version sounds even better

YAWN https://www.plugin-alliance.com/ Brainworx bx_masterdesk $69.99 Plus local VAT taxes in Europe* Save 76% with your checkout code: code: xmas19-MASTER69-wqhnt7 Brainworx bx_townhouse $39.99 Plus local VAT taxes in Europe* Save 86% with your checkout code: code: xmas19-TOWN39-8dqlk ADPTR AUDIO Metric AB $49.99 Plus local VAT taxes in Europe* Save 74% with your checkout code: code: xmas19-METAB49-zr6so BX master desk and Lindell 80 series also on offer - don't have codes for them I think I paid $29 for most of these earlier this year - (apart from the 80 series) - so IMO these prices aren't amazing. If you have come into a mysterious inheritance from a Great Aunt and need to spend money for tax reasons then might be worth a punt at these prices - not a criticism of the plugs just a criticism of the prices in the current market GOOD NEWS - the full version of Kontakt is NOT REQUIRED WARNING - these are plugins so if you will need additional software such as a compatible DAW : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation to run them,

happens all the time to me - my philosophy is to pretend I didn't and move on. On a more positive note, at least you had a months use of of it - maybe that song you did in the last month is the one that's gonna make millions - so you'll be glad you bought it when you did .....and now the glass if half full

I still have my M1 - had it since new - only use it as a midi keyboard nowadays - also had an MS-20 Like you I bought the set - the M1 emulation is 100% - my understanding is that it actually IS an M1 inside - they include all of the extra cards too. I'd recommend it with a BUT.......(or 3!) 1 - The GUIs are not resizable and are a bit small for 2019 - compared to arturia etc very poor indeed 2 - They feel very abandoned, not really much in the way of updates for year and years and years 3- The installing/licencing is a bit painful compared to anything made in the last 10 years - I'm not even sure I could update the software even if I they did release an update - try finding an update to download for example 4 - Legacycell (one of the plugs) is a total pain to get working in 64 bit plugin mode. See the thread below ok that's 4 "BUTs" TLDR: good sound - good price - very dated

just worth noting before anybody WUPs their current AR collection to get the new plug https://www.waves.com/support/waves-update-plan "* The Abbey Road Collection is excluded from new plugins being added for free with a current Waves Update Plan." might be worth checking before you do it

interesting idea - I assume they never time out ?

hiding it away on the homepage like that thanks as always Larry !

yes - that's a very good deal indeed IMO There are also other AR plugs that are available as the free plugin. For me though I'm with @Piotr it was slightly better to upgrade to the AR bundle. Took a complicated excel spreadsheet to work that out though.

still not seeing it ?

agreed - it's another I'm more than happy to pay full price for - small time operation - the GUI could probably do with the attention for a graphic designer but the product is great - and he's very active on his forum and very helpful with support tickets

can you explain "kontakt" I haven't got time to read up on what that is ?

just got my free plugins email from waves - spent over $100 so I get 2 my says: -------------------------------------------- Choose one plugin from this list: You are not eligible for a free plugin: see terms and conditions. And another plugin from this list: (then list of the 2nd plugins) ------------------ it thinks I'm eligible for the 2nd but not the first plugin ? anyone else have their plugs yet ?
