I will keep an eye out for that one. It certainly looks like a good one to play late at night when the cat jumps into my lap from the shadows. Starfield is still sucking down my gaming time lately. It's not immersive, but I am a fan of a lot of Bethesda stuff.

Sneaking on a rooftop at night and hearing the headcrabs scurrying up the drainpipes to attack you. Still an unsurpassed horror/suspense experience in gaming IMO.

I installed the demo and took it for a "spin". Not for me. There is a lot of capability in generating interesting arps from the many chord sequences, and the passing tone thing can be interesting. I just can't live with the circular UI. My brain doesn't like a piano roll going in circles. I would like to see an option with a traditional left-to-right piano roll for old fuddy-duddies. Thankfully the note editor presents in traditional horizontal format, but it is very poorly rendered. Also agree that WA should consolidate the MIDI offerings. I love MIDI gadgets, and there is impressive coding behind the WA tools I have tried, but it is the UI in their stuff that is just not worth muddling through (IMO). Maybe if Image-line acquires Audiomodern...

Agreed, but it was my last chance before Larry finished unpacking his suitcase.

I have been looking/waiting for an EQ that could work this way for a long time. Are there any competing EQ's that can tune by scale like this? I have wondered if some "sound goodizer" plugs might be working in a similar way, but conceal what's under the hood.

They sent me a similar "sorry" letter last year. I don't think they make "upgrade" offers for the big bundle during the BF sale. I went ahead and bought the bundle, and sold off my duplicates on Knobcloud that I already owned. UJAM did free transfers at the time- I don't know if they still do. This is a better, cheaper offer though. There might be a flood of individual titles going on sale in the secondary market. Interesting times.

Me too! What caught my eye was their YouTube post (they are in my feed), which jogged my memory of the email that I binned. I like Audio Imperia stuff, and own a couple, but I admit I am just a little skeptical that they are going to teach theory, harmony, orchestration, composition, and business ops in a 10 hour course. It looks from the info on their page that only the first two sections (of six) are up so far.

https://www.learnwithmaestro.com/the-modern-composer-blueprint They are promoting a "Limited Early Access Special" for $299 which includes Audio Imperia's Nucleus Lite Kontakt library. $199 if you already own Nucleus Lite ($99) or full ($400).

https://www.sononym.net/blog/new-release-1.5.0/ Free update for owners of 1.x They usually do a BF sale, so keep an eye out if interested.

I was hoping they would offer this during the "Colors" intro. Pitchmap at PB $89 and Pitchmap Colors/Orange Vocoder Nano direct from Zynaptiq for $35 make a $124 bundle (plus you get about $4 "PB bucks" for the purchase from them). The Colors/Nano crossgrade offer expires Nov 12. Zynaptiq site:

I was disappointed, but I have a ton of multiFX already. Do use the free trial. I thought the UI was ... poor. Categorize the effects by colored triangles, and in case you are confused, put a legend below them with words like Fire, Earth, Water... I know- it's cheap, the sound quality is fine, and the CPU load is OK. I just have other multifx that label stuff like Reverb, Delay, Transient, etc... and find them easier to tweak. -The Grump

Looking forward to Saros.

Flamenco! 😍 $10 upgrade. T.C. is awesome!

Ah... The page inside FL says "Save $30". They must have originally applied that to the 49.99 rather than the 79.99. Internal page is fixed as well.

Looks like they fixed that web page already. They have a ways to go before they match the search features in Loopcloud, but they will probably catch up.

To partly answer my own question, I installed the "Colors" demo and played with it for a short time. I thought it might be "Pitchmap Plus", but it appears not. I don't own Pitchmap, so my comparison is based on a brief demo of the original version over a year ago. "Colors" appears to be an "effect" rather than a "tool" if that makes sense. Pitchmap can be heavy handed, but It also allows fine adjustments or tweaks (IIRC), whereas "Colors" is more in your face. For my use, I will hold out for a better sale on regular Pitchmap, unless they come up with an attractive bundle deal for owners of neither.

Been eyeing Pitchmap every time it goes on sale. So is this an upgraded "Pitchmap" or feature limited (like "Orange Nano"). Since they still list "Pitchmap" for sale, I assume Colors is not a replacement. BTW fine print on the Zynaptiq site says that the intro ends Nov. 12

Loot Audio is offering "The Score" now. $264.81 crossgrade $353.37 no-crossgrade. Price probably drifts with exchange rates. https://www.lootaudio.com/

I had Iron 1 from a previous bundle. Upgrade to 2 was (and still is) $50. Maybe worth a look now.

Ah - so. Sunday morning brain here (also a sloth). Just sent my code to Niky 😉

SO, you both were able to use the same code? If it quits working, I have an extra code from the Humble Bundle to PM.
