I like the sound of the new features. Drag and Drop is always a plus.

Don’t care for Meta. I have been steadily using Accusonus products on my songs and really like them. Sunsetting the whole lot of Accusonus products after the acquisition is kind of harsh. I’m bummed.

Wow - don’t check in for like a day and see this long thread and a good find! Have to get it now…

Both are true in my case.

Thanks @TracingArcs

Thank you for Unifying the above!

My sentiments as well! Except in my case I already have a bunch of their products and regularly use them. I guess now I’ll plan on not updating.

Interesting enough, friendly intro - and free!

My favorite. Use it on every song.

I use a number of Accusonus products. So it’s weird news to me.

Thank you Simeon. Much appreciated!

I have several from prior years. But the one that comes to mind when I think of these is the Kraftwerk one.

Chambers Brothers - haven’t been reminded of them in a long time!

thumbs up example from Produce Like a Pro. $24.99 seems like a good price for what’s shown here.

@FleerYeah, but if you put a $25 voucher on the $49 discount price it brings it down to $24 - which is less than the “It’s $29 so I gotta have it!” threshold.

It is my most used synth generally. I just like the tones.

I have two of them - both used by me a lot during the time I used Sonar. Now just decoration and paper weights since so many sounds are available through software. But I did use the JV-1080 on many of my previous songs. oh, agreed the TX816 as a free addition with Unify is welcome indeed. Sounded great in the demo on Sat.

I have the Model 5000. I can’t say I’m an expert in comparing it with other possibilities. But on the few songs where I used it I ended leaving it in the places I put it because I liked what it was doing.

14TB and a lotta lost data…

You can add your own mappings as usual. The Art Conductor set (all of these) are neatly grouped under their menu under Sound Variations.

This group (Babylonwaves) has been working on mappings of articulations for years. For one purchase of about $97 - Version 8 just released - you get Sound Variations in Studio One 5+ mapped for more than 600 libraries or instruments. A whole package of 600+ library articulations specifically mapped to Studio One 5+ Sound Variations. So instead of manually typing in these mappings you can get all of these in one quick install. It’s pretty cool! Time is money - so it’s a fantastic deal even if not on discount. Example software and instruments are too many to list. Okay, here’s one. The Orange tree libraries - all of those guitars and their many articulations. All wired up and ready to go in Studio One. The list goes on and on - Heavyocity, Spitfire, Native Instruments… https://www.babylonwaves.com/studio-one/ If you click on the 9,000 Templates link on that page you get the full list of the many products it has included. Admittedly it leans very much into orchestral libraries but it also covers a good number of non-orchestral products - like guitar libraries and some key libraries. Forgot to mention they strive hard to make this as easy to use as possible. One thing to point out is that visiting the Babylonwaves site on first visit asks you to accept cookies just to see their website. It’s well worth the visit.

I hope there’s a long tail to the phase out. In other words if you have a VST 2 for an old product I hope that works in hosts outside of Steinberg for far more than the two year horizon they suggest. It could be a big cost for us if we have to pay the active software developers for a VST 3 only upgrade. Of course they need to cover their nickel, but added up across a lot of products for us could be tragic.
