Meldaway grand is a steal.

Seriously, this! IK seem determined to hide their light under a bushel, so to speak. Being able to run the Tonex One from a cellphone power pack should be one of the things they stress in their marketing materials!

It is *really* good. I tried the new version last night quickly and although it was subtle, I preferred my remic'd vocal track via OWS. I'm hoping there might be a $25 coupon for BF or something that I could apply to the upgrade or at least a discounted custom 2. From what I can tell, the upgrade price doesn't expire.

As a side note, I love the idea that (from the thread title) there is a store for people addicted to pugs.

It's awesome that two new members popped up to say that the scam site wasn't a scam! And not at all suspicious!

Never mind, answered my own question with a 'yes'! https://www.korg.com/nz/news/2023/1113/

Do Korg usually do 50% off updates on BF? I just bought v5, so would jump to upgrade at $49 but hold off at $99!

Seriously! IK make some great stuff but seem determined at times to find ways to put people off buying their products.

I've wondered the same thing, and I don't have an answer. What I *can* say is that VSL's freebies are always worth having!

Wow - and it looks like they're fulfilling my dream of releasing the uprights individually; at least the Hume is available for $59 on its own. No details though as to whether LE means each individual instrument is a cut down version...

Gran Concerto, Hamburg, C7, and the cf3. The uprights I can take or leave and the relic tuning in liberty is pretty much unusable imo

I wouldn't go quite as far as 'top of the class' for Pianoverse, but they are certainly *very* nice virtual pianos, and if I didn't already have oodles of VI Labs/VSL instruments (and the utterly beautiful PremierSound Kawai Legend!), I'd be amazed at their tone and playability. Piano is my main instrument so I'm reasonably picky!

A man after my own heart

Honest question: What can you *not* get that you would want to as a result of the different tiers? As I think I said before, there is virtually nothing that isn't a pro or max bundle that is not available at the tier you're in at.
