I know this thread is old but I just recently got ads for Octane on Instagram too and so I had a look at it. Currently $20 for Octane Complete, which is Octane plus all the soundbanks that they have for it, giving you 2000+ instruments. It seems they now only sell that version. As mentioned in the original post, there also used to be Octane for $10 without all the additional soundbanks, with way less instruments and if you wanted more, you'd have to buy the soundbanks from within the plugin's store. I bought Octane Complete and here's my experience so far: I find many of the instruments sound great. And you really get a ton of sounds. BUT: It crashes sometimes. So yeah, that's a bit of a showstopper. I haven't managed to figure out yet when and why it crashes. I hope that maybe, if I just avoid certain presets, it might not happen anymore. So, all in all, I have mixed feelings. Would be a great deal if it didn't crash from time to time, but it does, so ... not a great deal, but not too shabby either.

20% of 50 amps is still 10 amps. 10 amps for $9.99. With most developers you can hardly get a single amp for that price. Looks like a good deal to me.

GAS says yes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, but if you got ReAmp 1 (which was super cheap - I paid 9.25€) and buy the upgrade to ReAmp 2 for $9.99, you get 51 amps, 10 pedals and 14 cabs for an amazing price. If you bought them individually you'd pay much more.

Ah. That's why it's free.

Never heard of it but I love me some free amps. Does anyone know it? Is it good? Why is it free now?

By default my soundpool settings were set to .ogg. I now changed it to .wav to get better quality files but it didn't download the .wav files. Does anyone know how to force it to redownload the soundpools after the settings were changed?

I have a colleague who uses Reaper. Because it's cheap. And then spends hundreds of dollars on Scripts by nvk, because without those scripts it's not as powerful as he would like it to be. For that money he could have bought Ableton Live in the first place. ?

Oh. How did I miss that?! Yes, the code works here too.

Says 69€ here ?

I didn't get the connection either. What has Baby Audio Atoms got to do with Synplant? ?

What is a soundpool? Is that something that only works inside Magix Music Maker or is it just a sample pack that you can use with any DAW?

Waddafaq? I bought it for 115€. When did ADSR start having good prices? ?

"instead of the normal $270" - I hate how companies exagerate the actual value. For $197 you can get the premium bundle with 68 packs. Plus every now and then the bundles are 60% off too. $27 for 16 packs isn't bad, though, of course. If they contain something you want, that is. Right now Function Loops has another special offer: https://www.functionloops.com/sharp-10.html - celebrating the 10 years aniversary of their label "Sharp" you get 109 packs/25GB+ for $79. Or 70% off any individual sample pack with code "SHARP".

Lots of "needs improvement" and "I prefered how it worked in V2" comments on their YouTube videos. I'll skip this upgrade.

Why, what's wrong with their authorization and installation? I find it quite easy. However, I'm starting to feel less excited about their deals as I realize that I hardly use the ones that I already have.

You could have gotten it for that price from November 21st to January 16th at Plugin Boutique, ADSR Sounds, Audio Deluxe and Thomann. https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/vocalsynth-2-by-izotope/ I recommend using that website's price alert when there's something that you really want to have.

Oh. Then maybe there's no upgrade price for that.

add the full product to your cart, you should see your upgrade price then.

The new issue of Beat Magazine, #218, gives you a free Bitwig 8-Track license. Plus a 5.9GB vocal soundbank. And of course, there's a new Zampler expansion again, called Hyper Vox. Bitwig 8-Track is free quite often. Owning the 8-Track version gives you an upgrade price for the higher versions: You get Bitwig Essentials for 79$/€ instead of 99$/€, Bitwig Studio Producer for 169$/€ instead of 199$/€ and Bitwig Studio for 359$/€ instead of 399$/€

I just installed the demo. What is strange is that the installer says I have 29 trial days remaining, but inside my DAW the plugin tells me that I only have 7 days left However, I gave it a try and figured out that to play it like a real guitar you have to use instrument, trigger mode off, hold one of the white notes between C3 and F5 to pick a chord and then simultaneously press the white notes from C2 to A2 to play individual notes, or H2 to strum the whole chord. It's how a guitarist would play the guitar. The notes from C3 to F5 represent the left hand that frets the strings and the notes from C2 to H2 represent the right hand that holds the pick. tip: click on the little keyboard icon with a question mark on the right to see the help menu for the key layout:

Not even if you switch from chord mode to note mode? I would have expected that that's exactly what note mode is there for.

Multicore mode reduced my CPU peak from 28% to 18% when playing a chord with 6 notes using the rainforest preset. When I just hit one key activating multicore goes down from 18% to 11%.

As has been mentioned before, a lot of the free soundbanks on the website are for their hardware synths. These don't show up in Analog Lab because they can't be used with Analog Lab.
