This along with Klang and Labs were like this gift that kept on giving for Kontakt (Labs now has it's own player) When they bundled all these instruments into a single bundle, I figured the it was no longer going to keep growing... Glad to find out I was wrong! 🙂👍

Best case scenario, There's a Lite version on the way. Like Home Studio was to Sonar.

Worst case, they actually take away features. Which sounds crazy but I've seen this happen before. Recycle, UVI Player, recently Battery and Kontakt to a lesser degree. I hate when companies take away feature and call it an update. They actually put a couple back in Kontakt because users complained so loudly.

TubeSynth is a bit of a retread of Air Vacuum Pro but made for the Akai MPC hardware. It's now in VST. (so if you have Vacuum already you're good) or you can get Vacuum much cheaper if you look around.

Similar situation with Electric and Air Velvet. There may be an argument that some may want the newer plugins for the more modern interfaces and presets..

Any opinion on AIR's new stuff Electric, TubeSynth, Hype, etc.?

TubeSynth is a bit of a retread of Air Vacuum Pro but made for the Akai MPC hardware. It's now in VST. (so if you have Vacuum already you're good) or you can get Vacuum much cheaper if you look around.

Hype Synth on the other hand is brand new (also made for MPC hardware initially) That being said it's pretty good. Modern sounding and very versatile.

I'm on the "freeloader" tier, so if they're unlocked for me, it would seem any Jane or Joe off the street can also have a go, if you're game.

I grabbed a few. Seem to be working here.

I saw these in the Roland App unlocked. Wasn't sure is they were still functional as they also said discontinued. Early on when Roland 1st started using the app. Random stuff would suddenly become unlocked but would turn out to be just demos, which added to my confusion. Thanks for the info.

That is because you were shocked you beat King Larry to post about the deal

LOL I thought NI was actually selling motherboards.

Me too at 1st.

POSTMODERN ELECTRONIC FUNK is more like it, as this is what they thought modern futuristic music sounded like in 1982. Cool sound though very Break Dance era vibes. Very Kraft Werk, Egyptian Lover, Soul Sonic Force kinda stuff. 👍

Where did you hear "at the moment"? I recall that Simon Bangs, the AIR marketing guy, tried to recruit some beta testers over at KVR a few years ago. However, nothing but crickets ever since...

It was on the AIR Music Tech official Facebook page on March 3rd.

Almost all of my Air VSTi instruments are only VST2.. not sure I have a lot of faith in them actually updating to VST3 either..

They were cheap and even free for a few, so not too major if I lose them, but I wouldn't recommend that bundle price until we know for sure if they're going to update and if it will be for free.

Cool thing is Air is actually running a beta team at the moment. (tried to join but was too late) Some new products are in the works as well as updates to the current line up.

Thank you, Peter

Next thing, Amazon purchases Avi, Google purchases steinberg and Microsoft purchases Cakewalk  😂😂😂😂😂

Funny thing is, Microsoft was actually considering it when Cakewalk was down before Bandlab picked it up. They needed a rival DAW for Garage Band/Logic and already had a good relationship with the developers.

$39 upgrade to full version offer is still available at  Arturia.  So if you act quick, it's a possible double deal!

These libraries are super old school. I have some of these on CD from like 20 years ago. You can hear tons of those sounds in the first season of shows like 24 and CSI and movie soundtracks from like 2005. Can't believe they still sell for $40 regular. They've been mined to death. Literally - I think the people that made most of these are dead by now. Should be bundled with Stylus RMX expansions like Metamorphosis, and sold for $19.99. 

Yesterday's over mined samples and over used sounds are today's throwback, retro and cool nostalgia libraries.  Companies are literally reproducing/cloning  20, 30, 40 year old gear for this same reason. Roland somewhat recently released the D-50 and JV 1080 and Korg their Triton in a vst.  Easily 3 of the top 10 most overly used sound libraries  in popular music . The same reason many people stopped using them is the same reason those sounds are so sought after today.
