Are you sure it's MicroFreak, not MiniFreak you mean?

They're hardware synths. Not part of Analog Lab, that's why they don't show up in Analog Lab.

Feels like yesterday that they launched Pigments 4

Like Husky, I don't see any new free soundbanks for Analog Lab or Pigments either. Yes, there are a lot of free soundbanks, but they didn't come all suddenly. They have accumulated over the years. I don't know about Analog Lab Play, but the soundstore inside Analog Lab has been there for ages too, with the filter to show only free soundbanks. So, I really don't understand why Arturia would send a newsletter like this was anything new. I didn't get that newsletter myself. As Husky mentioned, a lot of the free soundbanks that you see on https://www.arturia.com/sounds are for Polybrute or Microfreak.

Ujam have announced that Silk 2 is around the corner and the upgrade price from Silk 1 will be $19. Until 23rd of January you can get Silk 1 for also $19.

Was also free with Loopcloud subscription last July. Still haven't used it yet ?

Oh no, we have neither Larry, nor Satya?! ?

Only Vintage Lab is new. The other three have been around for a month or so. See:

Wusik. By the name he's the Wario of Musik.

New Nation staying true to their unprofessional image. The confirmation page tells you to register at https://newnationllc.com. But that domain doesn't work. Should probably have been https://nnaud.io. Then when you go to https://nnaud.io/plugins/evanescent-baby-grand-piano/ to add the plugin to your cart, it takes AGES to load. How do they even manage to survive in the business?

Is it about the subjective value of plugins?

I believe it's the same as the one you can get for free from this page: https://yurtrock.com/pages/yurt-rock-demo

And I have the impression that the maxgrade from 3.5 to 4 has been available for $199 for months.

$199 with code TS4MIK2

Apparently they're working on a preset browser. I got this email in April this year when I asked if there's a chance of having an improved preset browser in the future: It's also a very requested feature on their KVR Forum, so I trust they'll give it a high priority. I love how the design/user interface doesn't feel outdated at all. Timeless synth. Highly recommended preset bundle for Sylenth1: Sylenth1 Bundle by Cartel Loops, currently only $9.95 at Producer Spot. It contains 17 soundbanks with a total of 826 presets. I've got it and I like quite a lot of the presets.

I got mine

Even uses the same product names. Their lack of imagination makes me not want to buy from them. That's not Cymatics vibe, that's Cymatics from Wish.

Now is a good time to buy soundbanks at the Patchbay https://thepatchbay.io/ Until the 7th of January they have lots of products on sale with up to 50% discount.

I have the everything bundle and I regret buying it, even though I got it for only 34€. The thing is, none of it offers the type of sounds that I'd actually use. But that might depend on the genre you're doing. Me, I like synthwave, trap, pop, rock. The Rigid Audio instruments are mostly soundscapes or somewhat experimental.

Would be a no-brainer for me, if I didn't already have the everything bundle. I believe there are currently 52 soundbanks in total. That's like half a dollar per soundbank. But I'm a preset guy and am not good at sound design. That's why I love to collect presets. I'm really surprised though that the release comes so soon. It feels like he went straight from Alpha to release, skipping the beta phase. I hope he didn't rush it just to release it on time for Christmas. Update: I guess I misunderstood the announcement. I guess it will be available for pre-order this month but the actual release date is around March.

Latest news from KVR Forum:

Wow. Direct download. No sign up, no "give us your email address". Just click the button, that's it.

Maybe you need to update Analog Lab first. If you're using an older version it might not yet be compatible with the new free soundbanks, for example if the Minifreak engine isn't included yet.

Harmo is free again

Why would you want to know which freebies he hadn't installed yet? ? To find out which ones you don't have yet, just go to "Store" inside Analog Lab and click on "free". It will show all free soundbanks that are available.
