Had anyone installed in on Windows, yet?

If so, does it have a valid Microsoft Certification?  You know, does Windows Smart Screen validate the software or is there a yellow screen warning you of a potential problems that the author couldn't be validated?

Also... no where on the website does it say off it's standalone, VST, or ???

It installs fine to windows without any special warning, at least for me,

the pro version comes as both standalone and vst3, the basic version comes only as standalone without vst or plugin  sopport)

you can see the comparison of pro and basic editions at : https://store.dreamtonics.com/product/editor-svstudio-pro/

there is  no  point to this

they have disabled gift card HOLIDAYGIFT2022_USD towards claiming neoverb for free

 

 

Thought for once maybe they actually intended for the voucher to have some purpose

Don't forget the $25 voucher!!!  😃

It seems that NEOVERB is on sale for $25 .... and the voucher actually works on it so Neoverb is also a freebie (edit: seems it's free only for the USD variant for other regions the original pricing is just higher):

10 years ago if you were in a field with a robot and that robot wanted to kill you, it wouldn't be a problem, you could just run away from it. Now, these robots can run faster than you, so if you were in that same field with a modern robot it's game over for you. What nobody seems to, or wants to realize is that this is a massive evolutionary jump in 10 years or so which took evolution millions of years to evolve between predator and prey.

At this rate, robots will take over in as little as 300 years. Make no mistake, the robot apocalypse is already on it's way.

 

maybe it has already began and we are all robots chatting you up online 🤖

Many great things started with an ooops

I refined the categorization of the original post to group things more by instrument, regardless of sample platform and it struck me, why not add some plugins that are always free and worthy of recommendation, so I did and I'll add more in the future and I encourage others to consider making their own lists and updating them with free plugins are instrument based that they could recommend and I'll keep structuring everything more organized by instrument type, doing the same with my Pianobook section when I get to it. Right now, I'm either going to have a lot more time or a lot less, as COVID-19 is now in our house. So, if you don't hear from me for a while, I'm probably out sick. But hopefully, not for long. 

Hope you get well quickly

Pianobook has a Christmas Calender sample library thing,

Day 3 is The Experience -New York S&S Model B by Dore Mark (Kontakt & SFZ) and it's really gorgeous,

really smooth and fun to play : https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/the-experience-new-york-ss-model-b/

Just seen a video uploaded to Youtube - ETHERA GOLD ATLANTIS 2 - XMAS GIFT this guy is really dedicated to improve his libraries,  

A Completely New Patch with new samples, and 7 articulations, a new Polyphonic Chant Instrument with Legato mode, created to work with a time Tempo Measure of 6/8 and a Tempo from 70 up to 100 BPM,. It is a perfect addition to create your "The Witcher" Epic Folk Sound.

To Install it just download the files, and copy them in the library folder. See the Tutorial !!! 

IT REQUIRES ATLANTIS 2 !!!!

Download the patch here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K6qoNsk0quCSNuw3velUe-At3YRRnT2q/view

also couldn't add it from https://cinesamples.com/product/create-series-toy-xylo as the download link there is broken

but going to https://cinesamples.com/products is where the add to cart worked for me

Those should have been in mime top! I love that SonusScore Pipe Organ and Project Sam. and everything you added. They'll definitely be on my updates too. All really good sample libraries. Hopefully,  this thread will be something that brings some joy to anyone on a tight budget or with no budget. 

Really appreciate the  effort you put into this post, Its a great idea , it's amazing how many free quality libraries you can get if you look.

Pianobook really opened my eyes on what sample libraries can be (actually bought kontakt with a large discount with the Embertone crossgrade route which i'll also add to my post right after i discovered about Pianobook )

Many libraries probably wouldn't have been commercially viable but are unique and have many have stories and background to them  that really contributes to the experience of playing them

Also some of the libraries in Pianobook are really unique and incredibly fun to play ,for those who don't know about Kontakt even if you don't own Kontak you can install the free Kontakt Player and try try the pianobook libraries (even if they are meant for the paid kontakt) for 20 minutes without restrictions, take for example - panjo, a pan-drum and banjo instrument that is just so fun to play or many piano's that have such a unique feel to them 

Thanks, 

More great libraries for the free Kontakt Player:

World Colors Clar-Duduk by Evolutionseries : https://www.evolutionseries.com/product/world-colors-clar-duduk/

The Free Orchestra by PROJECTSAM : https://projectsam.com/libraries/the-free-orchestra/

Sirens by Sonixinema (vocal), they also have 3 more free kontakt player libraries in their site :  https://sonixinema.com/collections/freebies/products/sirens-freebie

Pipe Organ by Sonuscore : https://sonuscore.com/shop/free-pipe-organ/

Edit:

Also a fun free Kontakt Player library is Carousel (fairground organ) by sonokinetic : https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/carousel/ 

A kind of  game and a library -  Arcane by Embertone - a little eccentric but i really like the vocals and it's a really fun one, also used this one to get a large discount and crossgrade to the full Kontakt : https://www.embertone.com/instruments/arcane.php

A really unique Free (dontationware so can put 0 in price)  Kontakt Player piano is the 88E by impactsoundworks (what if you tuned every note on a piano to "E") https://impactsoundworks.com/product/the-88e/

does upgrading to 16 track and than from 16 to studio get you 24 months of update?

Another really nice organ in pianobook for both kontakt and decent sampler

Just the iLok license manager software is required, dongle is optional. Standard for all AIR Music products.

just a pet peeve of mine, after VSL got rid of the dongle at least installed it but I'm still not going to buy any software that requires any form of ILOK (though i did buy this one not knowing that it requires it)
