My Windows laughed at your Apple OS compatibility issues all the time.

From Nick Phoenix on VI Control: ‘I wanted to release the whole orchestra at once but we couldn’t quite make it. The rest is coming really soon. But you gotta admit, we did announce and release the strings on the same day! That’s a first. Haha. I don’t get that anyone could have anything negative to say about release dates in this case. The rest is basically done, so those dates they announced are set in stone or it will be earlier. I think you will find this really inspiring. Just from an orchestral perspective, viola da gamba section replaces celli, hardanger fiddle section replaces violins, Flugelhorn section replaces trumpets, Wagner Tuben section and also alpenhorn section replaces French horns, renaissance flutes and Irish Whistles replace flutes, ocarina ensembles replace oboes Etc. Orchestral percussion recorded in wide stereo ensembles of 3. Then there is the baroque and ethnic side of the library with more ensembles of 3. Then there are the braaaaaams!!! Just kidding. But we do have wicked ensembles of strings and brass played in octaves. This is the least original part of the library but it sounds amazing.’

Introducing Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, a brand-new orchestra that includes everything you need to create fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks. Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra includes unique ensembles of world instruments that have been featured in the biggest movies and games in history, mixed with modern octave-doubled orchestral sections that perfectly compliment Hollywood Orchestra, all with full stereo imaging mic placement and all the features of EastWest’s revolutionary Opus player. If you’re scoring the next big fantasy epic or medieval tale, adding in a few period solo instruments won’t cut it — you need to bridge the gap between orchestral and world instruments. Every instrument needs to earn its place in the mix to create a massive cinematic sound, so we created an entirely new orchestra that puts all the period instruments you need on the same stage. It’s simply unlike anything you’ve heard before. CHAPTER 1 HOLLYWOOD FANTASY STRINGS Hollywood Fantasy Strings is the first iteration of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, putting 5 of the most iconic instruments from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras at your fingertips alongside brand-new stylized recordings from modern-day orchestral musicians. It includes true legato, diverse articulations, everything you need to produce the perfect fantasy cue to the highest professional standards. We infused it with the same power and flexibility as Hollywood Strings, with the same microphone placements, in the exact same studio, tailor-made to mix perfectly, so you can rest assured that your string libraries are all up to the task. https://www.soundsonline.com/orchestral/hollywood-fantasy-orchestra

On another forum, someone posted having called Waves and they told him they will sell perpetual plugins directly only.

https://www.strezov-sampling.com/products/view/jade-evolutions.html THIS IS A PREORDER PRODUCT - RELEASE EXPECTED MID APRIL 2023 After two years of releasing Jade Ethnic Orchestra we went back to Beijing China with our Co-Producer Seth Tsui to create a virtual instruments collection which pushes the boundaries of evolving instrumental perfomances to a new league. The result of that journey is Jade Evolutions. Jade Evolutions is no sample library in the traditional sense of multisamples, dynamic layers and round robins. The recordings we made are highly expressive performances within each section of the traditional Chinese orchestra as well as vocal ensembles. The focus was set on musicality, which is unreachable with a multisample approach. If you want instant cutting edge sounding results which go far beyond what an ethnic virtual instruments collection can accomplish Jade Evolutions will be your new secret weapon. Based on our experience with our Syllabuilder and X3M Engines we developed a brand new engine using Native Instrument's Kontakt sampler to give you acess to these performances in an intuitive way, but also combine them with custom electronic sounds recorded from Hardware Synthesizers for that modern cinematic sound. The core of Jade Evolutions is the XY Pad, which allows you to freely morph and blend between 4 zones of mapped instrumental performances and freely layer in Electronic soundsources. Each of the zones can be customized and shaped to your liking. Use the 215 instrumental and 47 electronic soundsources to create your own presets and arrangenments. Save them and tag them for future productions or use one of our 256 presets as base for your own explorations into the unknown. Jade Evolutions consists of 20 GB of instrumental performances. The following insrumental categories were recorded: Bowed Strings Ensemble Bowed Strings Solo Plucked Strings Voices Woodwinds Percussion Overview: 256 Presets comprising fully fleshed out arrangements as well as instant mood setting soundscapes 215 instrumental performances recorded in Beijing China and 47 curated electronic soundsources Virtuosic Bowed and Plucked Strings, Woodwinds, Percussion and Vocal Performances from Chinese Musicians Brand new Evolutions Engine - Morph, layer and shape each sound source to your liking! 21 GB of custom recorded material, no reused sounds from Jade Ethnic Orchestra Developed for Native Instruments Kontakt Player Fully NKS compatible Pre Order Price 179.00 EUR (Normal Retail Price 249.00 EUR) Estimated release is mid of April 2023 Crossgrade Discounts for owners of Jade Ethnic Orchestra available!

How do you get the 10$? Edit: received an email later

Apocalyptica seems to not be on sale

‘I am doing a test run for a new way to sell the courses. NAME YOUR PRICE will give you the ability to purchase courses at a very low price for those that are on a tight budget. It will also allow you the flexibility to pay more if you can afford to help support the school. Not all courses are set up for this system yet and the monthly and annual memberships will not be part of this program. I am curious to see what the response is over the next few weeks, please let me know what you think.’ https://www.mixingwithmike.com/special-offers - Fundamentals of mixing (starts at 2,50$, regular 10$) - Basic Mixing, Advanced Mixing, Master Mixing, Loudness, Basic Mastering, Advanced Mastering, MPG Legacy Courses (starts at 10$ each, regular 49$) - Bundles at 49$ each : Power Mixing Courses, Private Mixing Courses - Replay Edition, Private Mastering Courses - Replay Edition

Getting all their extensions, even with loyalty discounts, is like paying for another Omnisphere.

So overpriced, even on sale

And they added extra loyalty discounts that are good to current and future purchases.

Meh

Installed?

I upgrade to the full PA 2022 Collection and my vouchers have been upgraded to 50$ after I own everything except 2 plugins. Very useful.

Plugin Alliance has spread the vouchers virus.

Yes with the voucher in January.

Do you get a voucher for UVI store if you buy the Essentials bundle?

Contact PGMusic to ask. They have great customer service.

I got one in January, then another this month.

Percussion Factory would be almost half price with the voucher. Hmmm...

Tempted to upgrade to KU14 CE from KU13CE to get BET instead of waiting for summer sale. Seems like a better deal if you want this.

First time I bought the new Pro version at the moment in December, through an authorized reseller on Ebay selling cheaper, then I bought the upgrade to Ultrapak+ during the same month

It's less than a upgrade to a new Nexus version
