It's not bad, in my opinion. You get a lot of nice sounds. But personally, I prefer Syntronik 2 from IK Multimedia. Both are based on sampled synthesizers. So, they're basically romplers. But for a rompler the sound design options inside Syntronik 2 are remarkable. At least for the presets that have been made specifically for version 2. It also contains the legacy presets from version 1 but you don't have the edit tab for those presets. Synth Anthology 4 has more different synths than Syntronik 2 but less presets per synth. Synth Anthology can only layer two synths, Syntronik can layer up to four. One nice thing about Synth Anthology 4 is that it has layered presets where it loads two synth presets (often from different synths) that work together well. Unfortunately, it seems Syntronik has been discontinued and integrated into SampleTank. I wonder if you still have all the sound design options inside SampleTank that you have with Syntronik 2. The presets load faster in Synth Anthology, but probably at the cost of quality - maybe less samples or lower sample rates, I don't know. When I listened to Synth Antology's presets without the layering, just using single individual synths, I had the impression that they sounded thinner, more boring than those from Syntronik. I kinda regret having bought Synth Anthology 4 in spite of already owning Syntronik 2. It didn't add that much, except for some good layer presets.

I know we're not supposed to talk about other DAWs here, but it's important to know that if you own Max for Live, Live users can upgrade to the full Max version for 199€.

Free for owners of the Everything Bundle, of course.

I have a few of his plugins. But only because I got all of them for free, except for THE_INSTRUMENT and THE_INSTRUMENT 2. That's also the only one that I actually use. I really like THE_INSTRUMENT (1 and 2) a lot. I can't say much about the customer support, since I never had any issues. But I participated in the beta-testing for THE_INSTRUMENT 2 and he replied within minutes to each of my emails. He currently seems to include an AI chatbot in all of his products but it often generates bad results. For example when I asked it where I can find a certain feature in the UI, it often gave wrong answers.

The latest German issue of Beat magazine just came out today and as usual, subscribers can already download it at https://www.plugins-samples.com/ The English version will be following soon. This month's freebie is the "Sampleson Sonic Explorer Bundle" which consists of seven plugins. BUT: Except for Wursy (electric piano), they're all freeware anyway 😄 So, basically, this month's freebie is Sampleson Wursy. Which has already been a freebie with Computer Music Magazine last October. The other plugins are: Overheat (saturator), CollaB3 (tonewhell organ), Dynomod (e-piano fx), Rand (formerly Push, synth with patch randomizer), Sub (vintage analog drums), and rePedal (AI guitar pedal maker). This month's free Zampler expansion is called "Alchemist" and contains 64 sounds sampled from the AKAI MPC 5000.

https://dl.u-he.com/extras/common/osmose_mpe_presets.zip Quote from the newsletter: These presets are optimized to make use of the MPE features of the Expressive-E Osmose synthesizer but you can, of course, use them without that synth. You will need the latest versions of the U-He synths.

My GAS is officially dead now. Even that low price doesn't tempt me. I'm healed! 🙌

That's awkward. Here is what it looks like in my email client: Maybe they had a bug in their code or mail text and fixed it after you received your email.

Getting this plugin for free in 25 is a Wild Ride

It worked here. In that email, right below the image, it should say "Use Coupon – [THE COUPON]". I'm not going to post the coupon code here, but I'll mention that one might be able to guess it with some luck. It's a generic coupon code, same for all.

I thought Mixbox was discontinued?

They just don't have an automatic redirect from bestservice.com to www.bestservice.com and bestservice.com doesn't have a certificate. But when you go to www.bestservice.com instead, everything is fine.

I subscribed to the EDMprod newsletter a while ago, just to get some freebies, and yesterday I got a newsletter that I wanted to share because it's a good reminder that we shouldn't fall victim to Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I believe that people like us on deals forums are especially prone to GAS, that's why I post it here. The mail subject was "Stop hoarding, start creating" and I think he put it quite well: I was aware of these things, but it drives the message home differently when I see it written from someone else, somehow.

Ah, I see. Cool. Then maybe the expansions aren't really released yet and will be coming soon. Could it be that they've published the demos before the products themselves?

Where do you see those? Is that a view inside the synth? I don't see those on their website.

There's a new expansion. The first one for Synthmaster 3. It's called "New Loops Cinematic Sounds Volume 1". I have no idea when they added it. I just discovered it because I checked if there are any new expansions, out of curiosity. If you have the Everything Bundle, you already own it and just need to download your expansions from within the synth (I think you click on the current preset name and then a menu appears where you click on "Restore my preset banks", or something like that).

It's not our job to figure out if a coupon code was meant for the public or not. If companies don't want coupon codes to be public, it's in their responsibility to create personalized codes instead. When companies reply in such an adversarial, reproachful way, it makes me not want to use their products at all.

Triad is also on sale at Plugin Boutique. https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/14944 The advantage of buying it there is that you get some virtual cash and the freebie of the month. Currently you get Wave Alchemy Pulse free with any purchase.

Seldom. Here's the price history on Music Software Deals. But that only shows the history from three shops, not even including the official vendor's store. However, I got it for 28€ with a coupon code. They used to give you an 80% off coupon when unsubscribing from their newsletter. They stopped doing that after they became aware that this was posted here on the forum. You might still be lucky to find some coupon codes for Impact Soundworks on the internet though.

I'm a little disappointed that this is not a price glitch.

It appears at checkout. You just have to check the checkbox. Maybe it only shows up for certain accounts. Log in, click in "buy", see if you have it on the "add to cart" page.

I should have known it would come soon. The signs were there. But no, dumb me just recently purchased Total Studio 4 MAX upgrade and T-RackS 6 upgrade. If I had waited a bit, I could have gotten all of that plus PianoVerse for just 12€ more.

Also awkward that they don't even mention it anywhere on the official IK Multimedia website. @Peter - IK Multimedia Please enlighten us
