Thanks Larry.

I've been after that true peak limiter for a while but I probably won't bother now as I went ahead with Sonible Smart:Limit on the JRR crossgrade deal that you pointed out.  👍

Synthesizer V has just been updated to version 1.5.0 with further improvements to AI, including an amazing update: multilingual capability for AI voicebanks! Chinese voices singing in Japanese, Japanese voices singing in English etc.

You can run check for updates from within SV and then update from the License and Updates panel.

Example of Eleanor AI singing in Japanese (sounding quite human to my ears)...

For years, authotkey has been able to accept MIDI data using midi4ahk

Here is a pretty good write up about it.

I have not played with it.

I've been using Autohotkey to automate the process of making Unified libraries for PluginGuru Unify but never realised it could be made to  accept MIDI data.
I will check out midi4ahk and that article, thanks.
 

Same here, keeps timing out.

 Glad it's not just me!

@Heinz Hupfer Looks interesting, thanks. 

I noticed when I searched for CoyoteMIDI on YouTube that I could only find "problem" videos posted by you.

It might be an idea to post some "how to" or tutorial videos to show what it does etc.

For the midi minded musicians:
Enlightenspeed Player Bundle Spectacular
Now only $45!!!
Check out the product videos
https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/bundle/enlightenspeed-player-bundle-spectacular/
Requires Reason, Reason Intro or Reason Rack Lite.

Worth mentioning as a separate deal Larry!

I have modified my general Reason Shop Add-On post where I mention this deal to point to yours.  

https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/deals/ 

Lots of stuff on sale until end December.

I am tempted by the Enlightenspeed bundle myself.

You need to own Reason, Reason Intro or Reason Lite to use the players.

Yeah, thought so too. Happy I got the 4-pack when I got Pigments 3 a few months ago. 

Ditto!

Updated the OP now, thanks @abacab

Ah, thought so! Just tried it on Ambition

Pigments 69 euro including Energy Triad before 6 January for me - I'd be tempted if I didn't already have so many synths I have hardly played with!

Ah well, I guess that confirms that it must be for Pigments, thanks.

Weird, I can't find the individual sound banks from this in either Pigments or Analog Lab stores. 

The blurb just says "Required configuration: Works in Standalone, VST, AAX, Audio Unit, NKS (64-bit DAWs only)."

Had an offer in my account to get Pigments for $49...

Wow! That must be the cheapest I've seen it!

Existiing Pigments owners can crossgrade to this for 29.99 EUR (reduced from 89.99 EUR).

New owners of Pigments get it for free!

It appears to be non-functional for the great mass of people who have tried to use it, me included.

Strange, I did it with Chrome browser if that makes any difference?

NVM I was referring to the link rather than the plugin.

And how do we get this without Tacebook of Fwitter?

I just clicked on "Tweet" Fleer and it then let me add it to cart, place the order and download (I also don't use Twitter or FB).

I totally understand - but they could have treated me (us?) as a 'normal' PG customer.  I see no reason why buying from a reseller should be different from buying direct....which I think is the point Larry was making in this thread ?

Yes I understand your (Larry's) point and I wasn't happy with the situation either. I don't understand why they decided to address it the way they have, but at least they didn't just tell us to like it or lump it.

I bought it from AudioDeluxe and they said they couldn't register it and that all updates etc have to come from AD (or more specifically ILIO)

I bought mine from Audiodeluxe in the early days of Unify. If you bought it from PG then they have a record in your account which makes it easy for them to deposit any updates in your account. 

If you bought it from a 3rd party then they set it up so that updates could be obtained via ILIO. 

For the first few updates this didn't work very well as folk who bought from PG direct had updates as they were released. However, anyone who bought from a 3rd party, like us, had to wait for days until they had the same updates from ILIO. 

In fairness, after some pressure from users, PG did make it so that updates were released at ILIO and PG at the same time. So the latest release, for example, was available to all at the same time. 

As a small company I think they have responded reasonably.

Steve - I have to say Swan Audio has some of my favorite preset packs.  I guess I should check out this sale. I have several winners already!

Thanks for the heads up LJ   Night time Diva looks pretty nice.  Any other recommendations?

Wotja is a generative music program with a long history  and one of it's early incarnations was used by Brian Eno.

It is available on a number of platforms; Mac, IPad OS, Windows and Android - https://intermorphic.com/wotja/21/#downloads 
Apple users get the best deal as their single purchase works on both Mac and IPad OS as they share a common store.

Wotja 22 is due out on 1 Jan 2022 with intro pricing available now on pre-order.  Wotja 21 is also currently on sale at 40% off but only includes updates until end 2021 (still worthwhile unless you need the new features in Wotja 22). Note: Due to Windows store limitations, there isn't a pre-order for Windows Wotja 22 but it will be on intro pricing from 1 Jan 22 for a limited period.

Lite versions are free to use but with limited functionality.

2. Proper track routing in Reaper for more audio channels than two.

Captain Plugins. I know it's not really an instrument although it comes with some pretty decent sounds (e.g. Piano Strings) and Beat for drums.

I just find the UI extremely clunky and unintuitive compared to other similar things and the constant need to "phone home" is also frutsrating.
There's allegedly a new version out soon so I will keep my fingers crossed for an improved experience.

Yes it is ZT....and this is the lowest price that it's been...

Thanks Larry! 

Just had a look on the Sound Yeti website to see if there's a trial version but no luck. 
I will have a listen to the demos/YouTube videos.

In the meantime, I see that you posted about their free stuff already but in case anyone missed it here's your post.

Thanks @Variorum 🎅🏻👍

You should have a "donate" button somewhere on your website for all the effort you put into this.

How long is Ambition going to be at this price?

Is this a good one Larry? (notwithstanding comments by  @Fleer 😀
