    i wonder if JRRSHOP will have promo as well so we can slash price even more, or is it just for kvr ?

    I have seen Tone2 sales on Bestservice before but don't recall seeing them on JRR.

    If you own any other Tone2 synths, then you can sometimes receive offers by email direct from them.

    Also, you can email them and ask for a price for a specific synth or synths, stating what you already own.

    I don't to form my own opinion, I want yours first to see if it's even worth bothering.

    Anyway, this is for next BF as I'm like $500 over my budget already...

    The trouble is that my opinion might be different from yours.

    Anyway, I own all of them and in my opinion they are among the best-sounding synths available.

    Zillions of patches is right, lol! 

    I've been demoing Opsix and Wavestate since they were released (Skippy sang their praises) and I also really like Opsix.
    Preset 2 Original FM EP sold it to me...so lush sounding, but there are lots of other great patches.

    the new korg  synths will certainly make me skipp next year renewal  ....

    Yeah, I let my sub lapse last year.  I liked the synths but it wasn't getting used enough to justify and I dislike the flakey Cloud Manager.
    Still might be of use to some, and this deal means you get one or two lifetime licenses depending on the tier.

    Hi guyz this is actually a question , does Logitech ever does sales ?

    Considering the MX keys and MX 3 S mouse 

     

    Hi Zo,

    Not sure about Logitech direct but they certainly have sales on Amazon for them.

    Here are some current BF deals on Amazon UK (I couldn't see the 3s on sale but have included the 2s below).

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Advanced-Illuminated-Responsive-Bluetooth/dp/B07W5JK5MW 

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Anywhere-Wireless-Multi-Device-Bluetooth/dp/B07W5JJR4H

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Multi-Device-Bluetooth-Unifying/dp/B07W4DGVQF

     

    Sorry, can't help with the latency query as I don't have the Logitech stuff installed.

    KAOSS PAD - https://korg.shop/software/korg-collection-series/korg-collection-kaoss-pad.html

    Just tried the demos and don't think it's worth it for me at $99 and I wish they would improve their installer Software Pass 🤔

    Demos are up on SoundCloud - 

     

    Unfortunately, Opsix and Wavestate are not included as they aren't legacy but they are on special pricing ($99 each).

    Just looked at trance engine…$368?  Wowsers…

    Yes, it's what Brian said; the expensive version allows you to batch-create MIDI files and sell them, whereas the cheap version only allows you to use them in your own commercial releases (but not to re-sell the MIDI files).

    Yeah- It is kind of odd that it overlaps Epic suite.  Full disclosure- I am a beta tester for Pilot.  Actually I thought it was going to be free for Epic owners, but I maybe I was mistakenly divining that from the beta forum.  Beta contributors also got NFR's.  If the price is going to be $99 (from site), that is way too much.  Not so sure about the $49 sale price TBH. I don't know if you bought Epic on release, but it was rushed out IMHO.  They did make a lot of fixes/additions after release.  Suspect similar from Pilot.  I like it and have had fun with it.   I think your comparison to the Feelyoursound offerings is spot-on.  I own Hauke's original offerings Sundog & Chord Potion, but not the genre tuned later releases, however I have demoed them.

    Thanks for sharing your insights, Brian. That's funny as I am a beta tester for Hauke :) (and I also have Sundog and Chordpotion).

    I bought Epic when it was released and have installed all the updates since then, including the latest which came with a free artist preset pack (by Rosbeh). 

    It's good to have choices; we certainly have plenty of those these days!

    50% off site-wide.  New release MIDI tools "Pilot Plugins"

    Wonder how the new Pilot Plugins compares to the CP Epic suite (which I own)?

    From a brief look at their videos these seem to be more like the recent Feelyoursound generators which I have and like (Trance Engine, Chillout Engine, HouseEngine). 

    Can't see anything about a crossgrade price for existing CPE owners.

    Steinberg Dorico Elements 4: Upgrade from free Dorico SE $37.50 (USD)

    in Deals

    Posted

    Thanks for the heads-up @abacab 👍🏻

    I'm also a long-time Notion 6 user along with Studio One Pro, but this year I decided to give Cubase 12 Pro a proper go (Cakewalk crossgrade from a few years back plus updates) so I haven't upgraded to SO Pro 6 this time. 

    I didn't even know about the free Dorico version so I will certainly give it a go and maybe upgrade to Elements.

    Cheers!

    Synthesizer V 1.8.0 Now Released (Not a Deal)

    To be honest, sounds a bit like the audition stage for a talent competion. Can we give Synth V voices singing lessons? :)

    Agreed. But I think the isolated vocal track sounded best when there were multiple voices, so if I buy this I'm pretty sure it will stay in the background and do a great job there. But we'll see.

    Yeah, some of the YouTube stuff is a bit... rough. My hope is that Solaria didn't end up sounding so good by sheer luck and instead Eclipsed Sounds know what they are doing and chose Eric Hollaway for reasons other than availability and convenience. A quick search for bass singers on YouTube brings up some really good sounding alternatives.

    I guess if the source voice for a Synth V voicebank is a singer with a not-ideal voice then, to some degree, it will be difficult to recover that in the VS version of the voice. I wonder if Eclipsed Sounds approached any other Bass singers but they wanted too much money. I was hoping for a voice that could be used on something like the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence, but I'm not sure if Asterian is suitable for that. I've tried Kevin but his lower register gets a bit noisy as it's not his forte.

    Then again, VS is very tweakable - compare some of the Weina demos above with the Dreamtonics ones. They sound really quite different. It will be interesting to see what the expert voice tuners come up with for Asterian over the coming weeks.

    Very interested, but where is Dreamtonics based out of?

    They appear to be charging a flat 10%  (sales?) tax, regardless of purchaser's location. Why do I wonder if they really are remitting this 10% surcharge to the proper taxing entities?

    They are based in Japan.
