I ordered the K12 upgrade,  I had to pay postage even without using my loyalty points, even then the only cheaper place it could find was the download version direct from NI, which was actually 50p dearer but no P&P.  Getting the freebee from Time and Space makes it the best deal by far (assuming Hertz-OG is decent of course, I am downloading that now.)

Update - I have had a very quick look at Hertz-OG, there are some nice sounds and it looks like there is a reasonable amount of tweak-ability. It certainly looks useful.

The main downside is presets are presented as individual NKI files, 630 of them rather than snapshots making browsing a chore and mapping parameters to Komplet Kontrol in-practical.  I think in time I will split the sounds into different folders to make it easier to find sounds.

More bad news.

It has just been announce that Leamington Assembly is closing with immediate effect. A Paul Young gig scheduled for this Wednesday has been cancelled, it was that sudden.

This comes close on the new that Borderline in London and The Citadel in St. Helens are closing. That three significant venues taken off the UK circuit for small to medium touring bands and other venues around the country have either closed or are under threat.

Sad times.

Looks like the Softube Buchla 296e Spectral Processor is discounted to match the intro price that ended on 31st May.  If yo have Modular don't overlook this module, yes it's expensive at $99 but its very versatile, from an equalizer where every band is voltage controlled to a vocoder and a lot more.

Kinda tempted by the T&S boxed version as you effectively get a backup of the software on hard drive at no extra cost (in UK) and the Zero-G synth seems not half bad. 

Their site seems a bit weird at the moment though. When I add K12 update to my basket it automatically offers to add Dronar Hybrid library for free which it then charges 36 GBP for. What happened to the Free Zero-G Herz O G? 

Maybe they'll sort it out on Monday. 

Same thing happening here. Lets see what Monday brings. T&S works out cheaper than best service for me at current exchange rates and I have some loyalty points too. Then the added bonus of the physical media. But the Dronar instrument is a sweetener!

Note that M-Tron pro has been updated to version 3. The main thing seems to be a scalable GUI. Its a free upgrade and worth doing.

This is very nice, mute, fingered, pick, popped and slapped articulations are all available and you can easily setup your own velocity switch points. This is the only bass library I have that really seems to nail a "high up the neck" tone I am particularly fond of, this is controlled by the fretting position control.

There are plenty of presets and Greg has done a good job of getting some really nice tones form the Kontakt effects, of course you can also output clean to your favourite amp sim.

Edit - The above refers to the recently release flatwound precision bass for OTS, not this new J-Bass. DOH!

I have similar issues occasionally with my Quad Capture. It not frequent but It's annoying when it happens. It has also happened with stand alone Guitar Rig and some synths outside of Cakewalk.

 I would say it started happening a few months ago so it may be related to an update. I will certainly try some of the suggestions in this thread to see if I can get back to stability.

Great value. I have all but the Strat.

If you are worried about UVI Workstation it costs nothing to try it out. It works well on my WIN 10 system.

Dealio!!!

Not available in the UK.

Another "virtual bass" to consider is Ample Sound, there are several basses available and in addition to standard VSTi features the current versions have the "riffer" feature which has a library of riffs in various styles. 

Riffer also acts a pattern editor where you can specify the articulation and which string to use for each note in the pattern.

What it does not do is have the pattern follow a chord sequence.

As a dulcimer player I can say they have nailed it with this library.

Until 1st Jan. There are some really good, useful and unusual Kontakt libraries here, including things you won't find elsewhere .
