Thanks Larry and Abacab. I have ordered both the upgrades as I like these and the nett price is too tempting.

I have the original version of Chromaphone and am tempted to Upgrade at this price with the freebie included. Any thoughts on how much difference there will be between 1 and 3? I'm on Window, so compatibility shouldn't be a reason to upgrade. The String Studio VS-3 Upgrade is £31 and includes the Asymmetric Sound Bank. I have VS-2 so imagine the difference is much less here.

I was expecting: https://nadelectronics.com/

Suchard!

Most of them are Apple Silicon native I believe, so that's a lot of updates.

Larry, why do you leave the price out of the titles?

It shows as €199 for me and says "Upgrade from single product". This is automatically done, no vouchers involved. I don't own a previous version.

Based on my experience of buying IKM hardware that came with Amplitube bundled, it was NFR and couldn’t even be transferred when you sold the hardware.

Ah, so rather than a Player Piano, this is a Player Organ. Well, this will certainly improve my organ recordings. 👍

I read it as "Clutch Free, tonewheel organ", which got me wondering how many gears a normal tonewheel organ has.

SP talk a lot about using a different sampling paradigm, so the larger file sizes aren't necessarily due to not using a decent compression format. Those who follow them on Discord might have more info and here is the basic info from their site: "Soundpaint™ is uses a proprietary audio format (Real-Time Samples™) which render instruments in real-time. All instruments can have 127 discrete dynamic velocity layers."

It fits with the tone of his walkthroughs, which I find a bit too self congratulatory. Others have commented about Troels listing that he has an Academy Award, without mentioning which academy awarded it. They felt that it gave the impression that he has an Oscar, which he doesn’t. He likes to blow his own trumpet as well as sampling them.

They do according to their list: https://8dioproductions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8916942071835-Soundpaint-8Dio-Crossgrade-List

Some people aren't seeing the lower price. I suggest trying a phone if changing browser on a PC doesn't sort it out.

Phew, the disturbance in the force has been resolved.

There appears to be a glitch for this one depending on which browser you use! Showing as £25.81 reduced from £89.00. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/pri£25.81£89.00cing/scoring-acoustic-guitars/ As reported by one of the devil's disciples over at the burning cesspool called VIC.

At that point it’s too late, as it already is to a degree.

I know and have no intention of ever downloading them. I did think about it which is why I registered and claimed the freebies. But when I thought about it, I knew they weren't worth the hassle or drive space.

I was given a version 1 code to use in the GB and it gave me access to all of the synths as it was such a massive giveaway. I assumed it was a freebie as I was given it without asking or even wanting it. I'm done with IKM now and didn't even bother downloading any of them.

With the group buy I bought into, the free or cheap $50 licenses were helpful in picking up sample libraries. But very much second tier of course.

I was talking about the code that you get from a reseller. I don’t have an authorisation code in my account, just the serial number which is the same as the code from the reseller.

I think there is a single number for Waves licences!

Some people probably buy cheap licences and store them up hoping for another Group Buy! Not that I'm interested myself.

It's going to be a bloodbath on Knobcloud! Some good deals to be had there for sure.
