Just something to keep in mind for anyone considering upgrades this one might be the end of the road or close to... It's a bit of a shame really as they make some quite decent synths and effects. Summary: - I will not longer develop new products. Instead I will focus on updates and enhancements for the existing ones - All licenses will stay valid. We do not use a subscription system. Our licenses are not time-limited - We can guarantee that all products will continue to work also in the future - There will be no no risk of data loss. If you should loose your backups or loose your links we will take care of you and redeliver the products for free - The website will stay online - Support will continue - There will still be new soundsets - Most likely there still will be a major update for RayBlaster and maybe there might be Icarus3.x - There will be no further major updates for our products. Gladiator4.x, Electra3.x, Saurus4.x, Nemesis 3.x will be the final versions. Some private words: Sadly I must say that I do not longer enjoy doing my work and developing synthesizers. It's a sum of many diffuse negative reasons over a very long period of time that finally made decide to quit today. During the last two decades I had to deal with an extreme amount of stress, many very over-emotional/nasty/drunken/high customers, bullshit in forums, harassment, piracy, defamation and trolling. The stress level was so dramatic that I did not only get divorced, but now also have to deal with serious health problems. That's why I will move on and will not longer develop new products. I simply must focus on more on my health and have more time for my kids. I must say a big THANK YOU to all those who supported the work of our small company. There will also not be not longer be support for Tone2 products on kvr. In the future you will have to use our official support channels if you need something.

Now you're talking.. Sign me up for one of those too!

I think that's the only reason I'd consider buying it too. The free version is really decent and very generous, so it would be good to support his development of it. Apart from that, I already have a bunch of metering options as it is. His price is reasonable as well. Love developers like that. That seems like a crazy about of updates coming also!

Didn't you already post this one the other day Lars? Don't know much about this limiter at all..

I did the same and grabbed and grabbed MSoundFactoryLE as it also seems to include ALL of the instruments of the full version, including I believe being able to use the sounds from the drum machines as well from what I gather. Somebody else might be able to confirm that, but either way it's great value. Not being able to edit those deeply doesn't both me, as I'd normally be applying my own effects etc to drum samples anyway and some sounds like pianos you don't always need to go deep with the virtual instrument itself, as I'll also apply my own effects. Plus it already includes a crazy amount of instruments with more being added and I'll get them too. New customers can also use MELDA57625915 for an additional 20% off. Also for anyone that purchased this, is it possible to install the sound libraries to an external drive?

That's my understanding too. You would only get it if you had the hardware to use them now, or to wait and get each plugin as they convert it to native. But there are a truckload of plugins that most of us already have the PA versions too, or Sonnox, etc. There are still some good looking plugins in Complete that I wouldn't mind. Personally I don't think I'd want to spend any more money with them for a bit. Who knows where their prices and treatment of customers is going at the moment! New customers will probably get complete for $150 in the not so distant future ?

Overall I'd say it was definitely worth the $150 upgrade to Signature to get the good ones I wanted, but the whole bundle definitely isn't full of standouts and many are somewhat filler and I have better too. But there are some great ones in there that will get a lot of use.

I'm seeing a lot of lowest prices ever this Black November so far. Maybe some of them are getting less sales and starting to feel the pinch.

I didn't plan on buying that yet just in case I want to buy all the expansions, it's better to get them all at once. I'm not planning on that, but there could be a really tempting offer at some stage. These are what the other freebies on top of the 3+GB of Factory sounds ChamberTron Extras 89MB Compute-a-Tune 53MB Piano Bass 2 48MB Isolation Choir 2020 552MB

Thanks Carl, that's REALLY helpful! I do have Komplete 14 Ultimate (thanks to their temporary price glitch) so it includes the Factory Library, but also includes the Pro versions of Session Strings and Session Horns along with a bunch of Symphony Essentials libraries. From what I gather, none of them are top notch, but should be fine for a lot of my stuff, which is why I hadn't jumped at the 8DIO stuff already. Like you said it's probably a case of digging through them and finding the gems in there, as I have stumbled across parts of them that I like. I'm also somewhat considering Musio1 so that's a consideration too. I really haven't checked out Audio Imperia, so I'll definitely check them out and the Youtube you shared as well.

That's a REALLY good upgrade price from them for one of the their newer VST3 plugins.. while I was waiting on the larger factory library to download I installed some of the smaller free expansion packs and the first preset I listened to alone made it worth £29.99 ?

I have a feeling this might not be quite right, so already installed! Haha..

I haven't tried the other two, but I do really quite like the IK. I didn't mind some of the sounds in the basic version, so Pro for this price seems like a no brainer.

Not sure why so cheap as I only had LE / Select, but you might want to try just adding it to the cart as well ?

Do any of the resellers normally offer the Black Friday sales for DDMF?

I actually think that so far on initial tests, I prefer the Kazrog 747 to the UA 737.. not sure if that's just that I would prefer the 747 hardware as I've never used either, but the Kazrog seems better IMO.

Given their last shifting of the goalpost with trying to go subscription only, I'm starting to question whether it's safe even banking on the $240 cap being safe anymore...

UAD any day of the week over Waves. Waves do have some great plugins, but UA for the equivalents are on par, or better in most cases, but no WUP and I'd say overall a better company, albeit plenty of people have been unhappy with them recently too! There are some tools Waves has that UA doesn't have natively yet, but nothing really unique, or exceptional that you can't get elsewhere. Waves offers do get tempting at times though.. I get it.. be strong! ?

I've bought a couple of things through them, so I've already used up anything like that. Not sure if registering a new account would work through. Thanks for the suggestion ?

Does anyone happen to know if Synth Drums is included in any of their other sample packs apart from complete, or with their drum machines, like Triaz, Drumvolution, etc?

That's interesting.. I didn't know that. I had assumed duplicates from them too. Not that they would be worth much even if UA changes it's policy and allows us to sell them, but I do prefer having the duplicates anyway just in case.

Yeah definitely can't blame them at all. UA stuffed up and they were caught in the middle. Glad to hear it worked out even better for ya ?

Nah I'm all good, I tested it on myself and made sure it worked before posting this deal and got my keys in seconds too. More so just if UA tries to reverse it for not owing Diamond.

Well hopefully mine went through early enough, because otherwise they only sent me a crappy $50 coupon to upgrade to Producer which is a hard pass! I took screenshots of the product listing saying ANY bundle, so I'd still challenge it. Afterall, it was UAs terrible handling of the situation that caused people to go that route. It might be a little more grey for anyone that didn't own A bundle at all prior, but even still I reckon a lot will get to keep them if they moved quick by the sounds.

It was the AudioDeluxe one at the time. Plugin Discounts were still up. I did see someone placed an order at AudioDeluxe afterwards, so they might have needed to check/refresh keys or something Kal. Looks like they pulled them both for now though!
