Blackhole is a dream. It sounds so good. At that price if you don’t have it yet you’d be missing out if you don’t grab it.

Whoa! Love their stuff. Thought they had retired.

That’s what I was wondering.

Thanks for warming up the GAS.

I’m enamored by this - the GUI is snazzy. Even though it has the “all the buttons/knobs you can cram in a GUI” that PA favors. For $29 I feel GAS to add this. My common sense is telling me I would never use it. And I would not enjoy all the knobs. Nevertheless, I’m thinking about it today.

Larry has been radio silent longer than this before. We can gradually refill our wallets as we await his return.

I have 1 and 2 as well and have enjoyed experimenting with them. Heavyocity is consistently great. I haven’t actually put either 1 or 2 in a song so far. I can wait for 3 at a future date when Larry has officially posted it’s at a deal price.

Sale is through July 31. Just tried it today (Aug 1) and still the sale code works. In case you forgot about this one.

If you have none of those that is a good price for them compared to their original prices. Some good ones in there.

Me too. I do occasionally open old songs in Cakewalk to move them into Studio One, that’s it for Cakewalk usage these days for me.

Here's an analogy that comes to my mind when thinking of some comparative points raised on Unify so far. "It's the same thing statement": In my DAW I have chairs. They are nice to sit in. But, if I use Unify, which is a car. It has nice seats. I like the seats in Unify, they are comfortable, but they are pretty much the same use as the seats in my DAW. What is missing in that statement is that the seats in Unify are in a car. Meaning you can go places and into other dimensions - fast. Unify often has multiple knobs pre-wired so that you can jump to automating all sorts of sounds and filters in one knob motion. And there are lots of knobs - and they are labeled as to what they do! So you can really take a combination of patches and presets and get them to come alive. It has Jitter Box, Midi Box, BlueArp, the list goes on and on. You can assign keys in the lower range to certain sounds, a key range in the middle to other sounds/layers, and keys in a higher to still other sounds - all saved in an instantly recallable preset. Unify splits each VST into separate cores so performance can be much better than putting the VST straight in the DAW. When you stack a combination of VSTs in layers this performance aspect really becomes a win. So it's not so much apples to apples. "I can do the same thing in my DAW" misses the other dimensions of where the song can go when using Unify. And, actually, of course, you can have multiple Unify tracks in a song, so that's something to stack!

@John Maar you haven’t already been using Unify? Where have you been? By the way, Epic Choir is Unified and will be one of the subjects on today’s PluginGuru livestream.

Larry - you are too cool!

I have a Taskbar Toolbar (folder shortcut) one each for Arturia and for Native Instruments. And a third one for Music Apps for many of the others. (Actually with sub folders in that one like for Cherry Audio, Spectrasonics, iZotope etc).

I’m looking at the two delays like X-Echo. I have plenty of delays. Nevertheless, I like what I see and hear especially with X-Echo. Looks very intuitive And useable.

Spire presets have a knack at sounding really great. Plus a convenient favorite system. True, the synth is older so it doesn't have features with new whiz-bang tricks. But the preset sounds are often quite useable. More "wow I should use that" presets per preset pack.

It's my favorite. Or put another way, I use at least one instance of it on every song where I have keyboards involved. The number (and low price) of available preset packs to add on to it is mind boggling.

I’ve become a fan of their plugins - these discounts are very welcome.

One of my personal favorites is Luftkraft for Diva. Marvelous Kraftwerk sounding presets.

I’ve used it and like the results. People have complimented my posted acoustic songs that have it as the only effect.

Last time that only worked for me only when I ran the app in Run As Administrator. In case that helps anyone.

Hurray! Excellent!

Soniciuture’s Broken Wurli is what I use. It has some excellent sounds up to and including torn speakers.
