Yup for both 910 and 949 Harmonizers up to 150%.

This is interesting as you can currently get the upgrade in the UK to Vegas 20 Edit for £57, and Vegas 20 Pro for £98 if you need the third-party add-ons. Although I stopped buying Vegas at version 15 as it used to crash while rendering, I did like its workflow. I have been using free DaVinci Resolve since then and I like it a lot, but I'm starting to want the Studio version features. Resolve Studio though would cost me £330 inc VAT, compared to £57 for Vegas 20 Edit (all I need for the same reason as @Tezza), and I'm also curious to see how far Vegas has come since version 15. This HB deal adds another option - Vegas 18 Edit for £20.99. I found the information below on the main differences between Vegas 18, 19 and 20. I'm not interested in the filler that comes with the Humble Bundle deal, so the extra £36 for Vegas 20 Edit might be a better deal to get all the latest features. Anyway, I am still pondering this at the moment as every pound spent on other NLEs could be put towards Davinci Resolve Studio.

Bargain prices! Thanks for the update and detailed procedure pseudopop 👍🏻 I'm just hoping that Weina and some of the other English VBs appear there before they end the sale. Synth V normally updates itself and its voicebanks from within its own UI, so that's pretty normal.

Also, @antler there's a Japanese site selling Synthesizer V and Kevin (unfortunately not Weina, Natalie or Eleanor Forte). Kevin is less than 50 USD on DLsite (with 20% off + new registration coupon -15% off) https://www.dlsite.com/soft/work/=/product_id/VJ015171.html Synthesizer V Pro is also on sale (20% Off - less if you buy at the same time as Kevin). https://www.dlsite.com/soft/work/=/product_id/VJ013608.html They have other voicebanks but they are native Chinese/Japanese. I haven't bought anything from them before so cannot vouch for them. Note: the site header says 30% off when creating a new account so it might be even cheaper than reported above, but I haven't tried it as I already own SV and Kevin. If anyone buys from them can they please post here what they paid?

Yeah, I'm also teetering, but for me, it would be $79.99 and I also want Natalie ($86.90 inc Tax). I would like to try the voicebank in a couple of songs that I have in mind, but the demo voicebank won't be released until the end of next year (according to Eclipsed Sounds on Twitter). Here's another Asterian demo (pretty good): https://vi-control.net/community/threads/synthesizer-v-vocaloid-haters-might-want-to-check-this.115973/post-5241207

Yay! Initial impressions? For anyone who missed it the link to buy Asterian (and Solaria) is here https://www.eclipsedsounds.com/shop The intro sale ($79.99 instead of $89.99) lasts until 9 December. Another new demo here...

I have voklm Fleer and it's noice. I'm thinking of going for Cinematic Shades with Fluidity and Organic Keys.

Hey, no problem Brian; I should have read your post more carefully, or even remembered there was a limit from previous years 🤦🏻‍♂️ Now you've got me looking at that delay and Thorus 🤣

Ah yes, I had forgotten about the limit; post adjusted 😉

Thanks Brian. Alternatively, maybe 3 expansions for $61 (3 x 27) - 20)). https://www.uvi.net/en/falcon-expansions

Grains and Fragments can be downloaded here.. https://feelyoursound.com/packages/grains-and-fragments/ You can just copy it and paste it in the Chordpotion UI. Also, worth checking that you have all of the existing packages for both ChordPotion and Sundog : Chordpotion packages - https://feelyoursound.com/packages-for-chordpotion/ Sundog packages - https://feelyoursound.com/packages-for-sundog/

More news on Asterian. They added two more vocal modes (see below) ! Also, the intro pricing will be extended by 1 week.

It runs on your own computer. No need for upload to the cloud for rendering. You get both standalone and vsti plugin versions when you purchase Synthesizer V. No iLok or similar dongle is required. It uses a serial number registration. Not aware of any sales as yet apart from intro offers.

Have to say that this is pretty impressive, even compared to Melodyne Studio which has become my standard pitch correction tool. The draw tool is pretty useful, and the way that you can tilt notes to fix pitch drops/lifts is also intuitive. I tried the demo and bought it (crossgrade from Vocalign Ultra)! It can even load Vocalign Ultra for alignment duties.

I'm also torn between Weina and Natalie. Weina is their first Gold standard bank which supports more tonal variety and vocal range. It is also bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) although I will only be using English. Also, the experts seem to have been able to get more out of Weina by manual tweaking. I do like the tone of Natalie though and of course, it is quite a bit cheaper. Decisions, decisions!

Latest Asterian demo - much clearer and more impressive to my ears. Also gives an idea of his range. They should have released this first imho. Also, their latest ad is a pretty cool demonstration of Synth V capabilities (the voicebank is thought to be Natalie).

Yes agreed; both on the voice not matching the music and it sounding more promising anyway.

Yes, it's been on my "to-buy" list for years, but I never thought it was worth what they were asking. Just demo'd it again now and it does sound great and is definitely worth 29 bucks.

Thanks for pointing this out @abacab. I have just added the MIDI Producer Pack to my Waveform 12 Free. I am curious about the MIDI capabilities of Waveform, but don't want the outlay of Pro to find out. Also, I did the 90 day demo if Waveform 11 Pro (for Wotja beta testing) but never got around to trying out the MIDI capabilities before it expired 🤦‍♂️

Good point, thanks. I have updated the title of this thread.

Latest Asterian demo. Better voice clarity on this one I think. Also, Asterian's vocal modes have been confirmed: Clear, Warm, Gentle, Strained, Rough, Open, Closed, Passionate and Theatrical.

Thanks for the video. Another useful one; I've watched a lot of his reviews. He even used it for de-essing 😎

I like sonible stuff in general as I find their UIs to be pretty well designed. They can also get you close to the settings you want quickly often needing only minor manual tweaks. I have Trackspacer so will be interested to see how the unmasking capabilities compare with it. This video piqued my interest when Smart Comp 2 was introduced so I kept it on my radar waiting for a decent upgrade price.

Same for me on Sonible website. I have Smart Limit (and other Sonible stuff) which is now in my default template. I was waiting for Smart Comp 2 👍🏻

Also added, thanks again. I'm out for the rest of the day so will have to add any updates later.
