I've only bought The Ton once in 2020. The last couple of years' Tons weren't that tempting but this year it looks like it's good value.

Tutti Crescendo

These agressive strings + brass crescendos were taken from Symphobia 4: Pandora.

Musio is not going to renew at anything close to that price. It will be renewing at an amount that is a multiple of that price -- I would guess that is Musio survives 2024 and renews it would be at $299 - $399 per yr. 

They've talked about the pricing on live streams and they basically promised the price is going to stay the same. I get an impression they're doing fine financially and while it might be true that they've not sold a lot of perpetual Musios they have a lot of subscriptions already.

Great, thx!

Waiting now patiently for Novum at the same price... 😉

Maybe next year. They already had  Biotek 2 for $24 last year.

What is this "Signature Piano" you speak of? Do you mean Signature Grand by Simple Sam Samples?

Yes.

1926 is 7.3GB
1991 is 7.9GB

These are just renamed wav files, so they're very fast to download (there's an installer/downloader) even if you have a slow connection. 983 and 1220 samples.

The plugin is surprisingly good, there's a lot of mix, reverb and tone settings.

IMO the sound can't quite compete with my favorite piano libraries that can be bought for less than $50 right now (Signature Piano and the above mentioned Meldway Grand). But they're great for less than $30.

United Strings of Europe 90% off.

Other libraries at least 50% off.

These are available at JRRShop too ("GROUP" works).

Some them have been over 60% at VSTBuzz.

I don't think they gave away any of their actual paid libraries anymore last year. The ones I got are listed as free legacy products now. But yes, previously they did.

Someone asked on Youtube how many velocity layers there are or is it a secret and they replied:

Sort of secret... mostly because it's not a simple question to answer. It relies on a combination of sampling and modelling, so it's not just a simple x number of layers. It allows us to have better control over the dynamics and smooth transitions as you get louder. With the added benefit of taking less hard drive space.

Also according to the newest video, there should be a demo but I don't see one on the website. I have too many pianos already so I'm not going to buy new ones blindly even if the price is tempting.

Could you move that folder to your L Drive and then point to that directory using the Load function on Tomofon?

I uninstalled already. It didn't look like you could change the folder location.

Just find the .dll and move it to the same folder.

That doesn't help. There's 1 GB of data installed to C:\ProgramData\Klevgrand\Tomofon.

I installed Tomofon to try it out and chose the L drive as the install location because my main drive is getting full. This is what was installed in that folder:

... Why do they even bother asking where to install it.

poor coding, its crashing flstudio completely, nice garbage 🤣

I didn't get that far, their installer gave an error message.

Also available on their own website:

The website still has problems.

It's getting annoying to keep track of what libraries you own because some of them are on their site, some on Gumroad, and there are normal and pro versions and addons.

Did they just add that "New instruments to you"? It seems like it can't be hidden and it's maximized when you open Kontakt. Really annoying.

There was a package that had Origins Vol 5 and a couple of other libraries that I bought for $9.99 USD during the pandemic

1-5 were 9.90€ for 24 hours in April 2020.

As I posted earlier, signing up now doesn't do anything. This is just a trick to get people on Waves' mailing list.

Looks like signing up now does actually nothing except signs you up for their mailing list. You have to be fast on 24th to get the plugin.
