Me likey! I just wonder if Reid's prediction about Black Friday may be in order here...?

Here you go! Full Kontakt required! crickets.nki

Safe travels, and look forward to your return once again!

The just announced Imagine synth by Expressive E will be a topic covered on today's live stream at 12 PM PT.

I got this with one instance of Kontakt 6 using OTS Evolution Rock Standard, with Amplitube 5 Brian May, Bohemiam Rhapsody Riff. Grab taken with Studio One at idle, no notes playing. It goes up by a few percent if I play a chord. Keep in mind that this S1 performance monitor is only showing the Studio One performance in the session. The overall CPU usage shown on Windows Task Manager was only 8-10% with S1 and this session at idle. Running 6 cores at 4.3 GHz.

Windows snipping tool is a great built-in tool for Windows screen grabs. It's found under Windows Accessories in the start menu. I pinned it to the main start for quick access.

I am good now! Don't know what happened, but it apparently fixed itself since my earlier post.

Now that's weird, suddenly a redeem button appears in my Groove3 perks account! Maybe logging out and back in again bumped something! Thanks for the heads-up!

Nothing beats a live performer! But many cannot acquire said performer, due to either location or budget!

I had a previously purchased Groove3 annual all-access pass (now expired), and am currently on an annual pass that was included with my iZotope MPS 4. But the perks say I still need to buy something in order to claim it.

Got pics?

No politics on this forum please! Please stay on topic!

It looks like s lightly different approach with the UI. These are the same folks that are developing the Osmose hardware synth: https://www.expressivee.com/2-osmose

Larry was on it first!!! 🤣

Too bad that you cannot combine discount codes and Jam Points on the same order at IK.

LOL! At least I am being frugal about upgrading hardware this time... So I am getting 3 computer upgrades for the price of 1 here. First, upgrade the sample drive on the DAW with the new SSD, the former DAW sample SSD moves to the laptop as a new boot drive, and then the old laptop SSD moves to the home entertainment PC as a new boot drive. That last PC is the only one still running a spinning HDD as the boot drive. Win!

Simon says...

Yep already received my new SSD. Probably migrate my samples over this weekend...

I see the Renaissance Bass as well. But... "Status: Complete Purchase to Qualify".

Including some of the factory "Multi" presets that may use a few of the obscure instrument presets that you thought were not needed.

6.6.1 updated ok here! 👍

Yes, but even when downloading only the sample libraries you want, you will still have all of the unwanted instrument presets listed in the SampleTank browser, unless you also weed those out those unwanted preset folders after the product install. If you forget to do that, you will get an error any time you click to load an instrument preset that is missing the samples. Too much work for me with MAX.

Yes, but it will be the ONLY synth you need!

Can you install ST4 sounds separately? Not easily, as the Product Manager is designed to install all of the instruments for your selected edition of ST4. I have MAX and that is all 200GB of instruments installed on my DAW. I took a look at putting a scaled down version of MAX on my laptop and gave up. There's probably a way to do it, but I couldn't be bothered to look into it any further.

I understand that one major delay that Bulent had was merging the newer tech from SM One back into SM2, so that SM3 could be compatible with presets from both earlier synths. SM 2.9.9 already has mostly everything from One aboard (except for the presets). SynthMaster 3 should be awesome (and years in the making)! The dev had mentioned adding more layers, a wavetable editor, and granular synthesis.
