Keep in mind that the complete bundle on their own wbesite can be interesting. For example: I'm interested in Infiltrator 2 and Texture (plus the Percussive Layers expansion). That would be €174 in total. I can upgrade (from just owning Pitch Monster) on their own website to the complete bundle which would give me all that AND X6 and Duck in addition for €180.

If you are into this kind of sound, definitely get this one!

I'm already on V Collection 9. I have FX Collection 3 and purchased Dist Coldfire seperately and got the MS-20 filter free somewhere I think? Don't remember. So $69 will give me a Rotary (not really interesting for me) and the LX24 (have several of that reverb). So I'm skipping this one. I might be tempted if they had included EFX Motions, but hey, they didn't.

I have 3 mentions.

First is Ludovico Einaudi - Ritornare from the movie This is England. Great movie and it introduced me to the work of Einaudi which awakened my desire to re-learn the piano.

Second: The Emma scene from Fury by Steven Price. It has a slow tragic vibe mixed with a sense of urgency and buildup which perfectly matched the scene. Outstanding work.

Hearing the dialogue over it is an absolute tearjerker. John Bernthal is amazing and Brad Pitt in one of his lesser known roles. That muffled scream is insane...

And Bladerunner 2049 - Hans Zimmer - Sea Wall is right up my alley with all the synths, Gritty and beautiful. A modern classic as far as I'm concerned.

Ok first of all, the visuals look stunning!

Second: is Rumle worth the trouble of mirroring my Youtube content? With my limited knowledge of the platform I heard it was kind of an offshoot because youtube de-platformed some rightwing people who said "we'll make our own platform, with blackjack and hookers!" (for those not in the meme culture, it's a Futurama reference). But is there any music presence worth speaking of?

I'm getting a bit excited. Perhaps. I hope so. They have a new CC control device. And I REALLY hope that would work over USB MIDI with a selectable channel. Because that would mean I can modulate every synth I have that accepts midi cc messages.

And I hate the term gamechanger as it is often misused. But that would be an absolute gamechanger for me and my hardware jams.

FL Studio WAS seen as the king of the pianoroll. And with the new stem seperation stuff everyone thought they would be king overall. But those crazy bastards actually did it. I have yet to work with it myself, but it seems they overthrew FL studio's pianoroll reign.

I don't know if this is the same unit modeled, but Kazrog has the Avalon VT-747SP still on intro price for $74,95.

Interesting. Looks like a lot of workflow upgrades rather than groundbraking innovations.

Suite upgrade is 199 but now with 20% off for 159 and you pay when 12 is released.

Will this be the year I will finally buy Repeater? 

It is

Leapwing has some good tools!  Usually too pricey, but with this discount they can merit consideration!

It's the same discount as every sale. So I'm pretty sure if you buy now, you won't regret it later. 

Will this be the year I will finally buy Repeater? 

I wondered what might happen if I tried to make the PWM Malevolent do something else than growl at me. Boy did it not disappoint. It still has its edge which gives a lot of life to the arp. 

Enjoy!

Nick, dead serious. When I saw this thread, I thought, Orchestra Tools doing a synth library??? Excellent developer, but I wouldn't expect them to do a synth library. But then seeing you praising them for a synth library -- a guy who is massively into synths and knows his stuff -- that got my attention. So I'm listening to the video walkthrough and agree it does sound very cool. I'm sure I could have fun with it, but I'm not sure it really fits the music I've been working on to date. I think I'm going to send it to my friend Thorstein who's big into synths like you -- the friend I've watched some of your videos with. I'm guessing he'd end up buying it just like you!  

Yeah the series is pretty niche I guess. It's not your bread and butter synths. It's more in the direction of soundscapes. But those can form an awesome soundbed for techno. It's the reason I bought my Lyra-8. If your friend is into this kind of sound, he should really check out Sinoid from the same FABRIK series.

Intro offer ends November 23rd. I have a feeling they'll then create a Fabrik bundle for BF. They did a few bundle deals last year (ARK series 50% off, Creative series, etc.) last year. I'm going to gamble and wait for that bundle before buying individual instruments.

You daredevil! But perhaps you're right. The entire series sounds pretty sweet and if they would offer the entire bundle (which would be an upgrade for me because I already have Sinoid), that would be even better.

Edit: I contacted them to see if they could drop a tiny hint as to this is the right strategy. Can't hurt to ask.

Edit 2: without disclosing too much info and some assurance from them, I'm buying now.

You beat me to it (of course). This sounds absolutely insane in a good way. Just up my alley. I'm buying this. And I'll be on the lookout for BF deals on the rest of the FABRIK series.

Oh and a cool thing SINE let's you do is extent the playable range.

Thanks Mibby! Still working on more improvements, features and optimisations. If you or anyone else has any suggestions do let us know.

Also, I plan to make a video about the website, its growth, how much it makes each month and more soon if people would find that interesting!

I would. This is a great tool I use too little for 'the hunt' but I use it a lot for the lowest price history.

That's a good price nowadays. I was lucky to get mine before the $500 price hike though.

Very good news indeed. Still a bit too expensive, but I'm sure it will drop some more at some point.

Had fun building all kinds of arps and hooking up the MIDI Fighter Twister to a granular effect. I got the idea to change the grain size sync (is that a thing?) on the fly to get a glitch like effect. It worked out pretty well.

Anyway, enjoy!

Interesting release date—not long before their typical holiday sale—i wonder if this will be included

Good question, I hope so. I don't feel like waiting another year.

OMG?

WE'VE have this topic before in July!

 

Can we squash this, already?

Not really. And apparently in september too, but also not really. This is not about the bullshit plugin itself. It's about the bullshit marketing texts. Specifically I'm guessing the ChatGPT-ing of the entire description. Granted, I got carried away a bit when writing the post. But I get increasingly more annoyed at BS descriptions where you can easily tell no human has made an effort.

I guess you're new to the planet then ? Welcome, oh galactic being and if I may be so bold as to offer you some advice while you're visiting ....never, ever, believe the hype.

Want a for instance ?

Earth dwellers have long been led to believe that extra-terrestrials are smarter than us folk who can't even figure out how to defy gravity.

Marketing.

 

Also, humans can defy gravity perfectly. I can. Just not for very long. But it takes very little effort.

Besides that, he's also doing volumes. I believe Sinead O'Connor once sang about Larry: "nothing compares...."

Haha I tried to post a different topic here, it immediately got buried to page 7 😜
