Even cheaper via Don't Crack if you buy 3 other things (like XILS synths or D16 or whatever) to get the 20% off the cart total! Didn't realise Don't Crack was actually competitive on price before. They're saying version 4 is coming with Apple Silicon support and VST3. It doesn't seem to support external modulation of values or midi learn etc but they're such great bread and butter effects from the demos I've checked out that I'm keen to pick it up regardless.

It may be a sickness, but it's our sickness. I think that's something worth celebrating. Perhaps with a new plugin purchase or two.

Wonder what the upgrade price will be for Explorer 7 owners? It says Explorer to Explorer 7 for 99 but I am not sure if that's right.

Although technically my answer to this question was "I have more than 1,000 plugins installed" the more meaningful answer is "Just the right number, except for a few that I have my eye on, and some others that I'd buy if they go on sale..."

Just noticed in the lower area of the page, Oxium is 49 Euro, and Mini Syn'X (which I bought for 59 Euro) is now 35 Euro (doh).

Syn'X was on sale already for 99 Euro via Xils directly and I notice this afternoon they've added KaoX to the sale. I'm trying to ignore the fact that I paid $129 for KaoX a while back. https://www.xils-lab.com/products/syn-x-p-134.html 99 Euro https://www.xils-lab.com/products/kaox-p-168.html 59 Euro The drum machine StiX is also on sale at 69 Euro https://www.xils-lab.com/products/stix-by-xils-p-156.html

I didn't bite on the forever 29 but if I had, I would have been! That said, PA is pretty good at putting out solid releases rather than using their users as beta testers. At the end of the day you probably want it when it's working correctly. Also remember the $1 vouchers don't expire it seems so you can still cancel after just one month and hang on to the voucher for when Kirchhoff eventually comes out.

Finally! A real sale!!! Xils is a big step up in quality from Cherry Audio. It's a bit more boutique than Cherry Audio's cheap and cheerful approach. But there's a demo available, it's worth demoing first to see if you like what they have to offer. Also, iLok required for the purchased version (not the demo though)

Decided to jump on it. I like rewarding companies that offer attractive discounts. Still thinking about getting the Sampletekk piano bundle as well. Haven't had a chance to play with Hammers + Waves yet. Just installed it before work this morning.

It's not the full set, just three of the ten in the "complete" bundle, but it's still a pretty good price to jump in and see what their stuff is like. I probably have no interest in the chime and prepared collections, and I think they should be including the wurly 145b in the electric collection and hope they do so at some point in the future. But it seems to be really well regarded so it's pretty good value considering what you get for $74.99.

Looks like MSRP USD $249 Introdctory price USD $149

Gotta admit if it sounds exactly like the pedal I'll be pretty tempted by this once it goes on sale. They'll have a number of other plugins they can offer if this proves successful. Wonder if they're having trouble getting chips.

Haha I love both UVI and Kontakt libraries, what I really like about them is that the investment is not dependent on the developer continuing to support a plugin into the future. Because NI and UVI make money out of all licensed library sales, it's practically guaranteed they'll keep the goose that lays the golden eggs. Just the other week I bought the VKS-20 library from Hollowsun. For those who don't recognise the name, Steve Howell was behind Hollowsun and sadly passed away 8 years ago this November. I only got back into music making in 2020 so I only came across Hollowsun in 2021 I think. But VKS-20 is a wonderful library that lives on and continues to be a joy to use. I really dig the EPiano 2 from the MKS-20. On the topic of this hammers + waves Wurlitzer 145B I really loved the warm amplified sound in Simon's video. Thankfully I found I have some Wurli tones in Neo Soul Keys 2 that are pretty close once I add a bit of room reverb. The main thing missing at this point is an ability to play the keys like Simon can!

Anyone compared Pan Knob to Acustica Audio's Fire the Pan? In typical GAS fashion, now I think I need both.

Boz also has the delay function which adds something interesting. I haven't seen that in other plugins that I've noticed. You can toggle between volume, volume and delay, or just delay with the green / yellow / red squares to the left of the pan knob.

Some kind of collaboration with Jean Michel Jarre? Big fan of his Rendez-vous album.

Oh yeah I hope not hahaha.

Maybe this will help someone else. After a few people raved about Biotek I demoed it and couldn't see what all the fuss was about. It seemed a neat idea but poorly executed with sluggish graphics when using the 2 dimensional modulation thingy in the middle. I just discovered in the settings that there's an Open GL option that was disabled. After hiding the plugin window and then re-adding it, it's now a totally different beast. It just took it into must-buy territory! How about that???

It's the same everywhere Facebook Twitter Youtube Reddit They're copping major backlash over this. I have mostly bit my tongue so far, although having just bought it less than two weeks ago it feels a lot like a bait and switch on the back of the previous U-He promotion. Really hoping they listen to the community and find a way to course correct. I understand the commercial imperative but there's a right way and a wrong way to do things.
