We’re gonna need that cricket VST….

Here you go! Full Kontakt required!

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.

suggest a free screen grab tool (not just browser capture)

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 was in the same situation a couple of months ago, and after contacting their support, they fixed it for me. I now have access to all the perks.

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

All you should have to do is click the "Redeem" button and the serial # should appear!
That's all I had to do!  My AAP expired last month.  All that I have now is the 30 Day Waves pass,
and I got it!

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!

If you've never purchased from Groove 3 you might need to buy something...
I don't know if the Waves 30 Day All Access Pass counts as a purchase...

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.

Thanks, Obama.

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!!! 🤣

I just registered RennBass and already have an all-access pass in place.  On a somewhat related note, did anyone notice the IK coupon in their Groove 3 perks?  All you need is an account...no subscription required.

Grandpa do you have any side jobs for me to earn so extra $$$. 😆

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!

Yep have to figure a bigger hard drive in this Group Buy!

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".

You will eventually kick yourself for not installing a sound you "didn't need."

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! 👍

Thanks! I am fine with doing manual steps to achieve this. Only download first and then install only the ones I need. Got it!

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!

Quick questions about SampleTank. I am really on the fence on picking up this one as a freebie. The reason is disk space, 100GB is a lot. I am a guitarist, not a keyboard player, but I would certainly use some of the sounds, probably through my bands keyboard player's playing them.

Can you install sounds separately, not installing some that you don't care for to save space? There seems to be a lot of sounds I wouldn't need, for example guitar sounds and probably many others! Especially if I get other packages like B-3X, Sampletron and maybe even Miroslav CE.

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 guess so. 
SynthMaster One is indeed quite different from SynthMaster 2 (and 3 to come). 
Swiss knife synth. 

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.
