Has anyone tried it yet? Are the results good? If yes, it's crazy to give it away for free. It'd be worth a thousand soundbanks.

Do you know why Arturia's soundbank "Kavinsky Tribute" is called "Kavinsky Tribute" but the soundbank "Starcadian Signature" isn't called "Starcadian Tribute"? It's because the Starcadian soundbank is actually created by Starcadian. The addition of the word "Tribute" makes it very clear that it's an homage and not actually by the artist mentioned. Big difference. Also, you'll notice that none of the Synthmaster soundbanks carry the name of any famous artist in the title. They give the name of the sound designer who created it, followed by something generic like "Pop Hits Volume 3", "EDM Expansion 5". They don't call it "Lady Gaga's soundbank deluxe"

Nice. I like free. It's like an eighth of their Eight Voice, isn't it? As far as I know the Oberheim Eight Voice basically consists of eight connected SEMs. So, if I already have Cherry Audio Eight Voice, is there any advantage of also having SEM? Less CPU load perhaps, but apart of that?

It wasn't created by Rush themselves though, or was it? I doubt the sound designer even has permission to use their name for advertising. This gives cheap cover band vibes. Rush isn't even trendy at all, so I don't see how this being a "Rush pack" in bold letters makes the deal better. That only makes it niche and less likely for people to want it. If it was a "Purple Disco Machine" pack, created by Purple Disco Machine themselves, maybe that would justify those prices.

Like Solidos said, this looks like self-advertising. But regardless, this doesn't look like a good deal at all. First of all, I've never heard of the VST Academy, so no reputation bonus. Then I can get way more presets from my favorite sound designers for way less. Oblivion Sound Lab, Synth Ctrl, Tonepusher, Mike OST, ... At Patchbay I can even get preset packs that were created by well known music producers that I have on my Spotify playlists, each for less than 20$ at regular price.

39$ for 50 presets? And they call that a sale? I love their optimism. Good luck ?

That explains how you can afford all that software. ?

Antares gave it away for free already once. Didn't even have to buy anything. I've never used it. But it looks good on my Google Drive collection list.

not adding "with any purchase" to the title should be forbidden by law ☹️

Why within the next three days? Where does it say that? You also get the upgrade cheaper with the code. 68€ from MSoundFacotry LE.

The advent calendar is in the Beat magazine. The discount code for Zoom P4 is on page 69.

I have bad luck with freebies lately. I already own this. If you mean all downloads, including the downloads for all the back issues, no. People who buy a single issue only have access to the downloads for that issue.

I got myself a Readly trial. 2 months for 2€. In some countries you can even get a free trial, I believe.

50$ is for the Ethera Gold 2.5 Vocal Edition. There are some coupons to get upgrades cheaper. One would think that they'd send those to their customers via email. You can try some of these: EG25VEUP-110 ETHERALOYALTY ETHSS2UP EG25LITEUP

According to the flood of newsletters I get, we still have a few hours. I'm not stressed at all. Not a little bit.

Thank you. That does make me feel better indeed.

It hurts when someone recommends Hyperion and I remember how I ignored it when a guy told me it was available for $22.50 at JRR Shop in June. ?

Yes, I use it on Windows 11 with Ableton Live 11. You can drag and drop the MIDI onto other tracks. It also comes with a plugin "Klimper Track", similar to Loop Engine's listener, which allows to route the MIDI from the Klimper tracks to your DAW tracks. It really is much simpler than Scaler. It has a feature though that Scaler doesn't have: A piano roll that highlights all the notes that harmonize with your chord progression. That feature is the reason why I bought Klimper. Of course you can do that in your DAW by selecting two MIDI clips at once (in Ableton Live - don't know if all DAWs allow that), or using ghost notes or duplicating the chord progression track and then moving the notes around, removing some, shortening them and all that. But none of that is very convenient. The following video shows the workflow in Klimper. The piano roll is demonstrated starting at 6:30

Same here. It kept showing up as an ad on Instagram and I liked what I saw but not the price. I own quite a few music theory tools. Instachord 2, Instacomposer 2, Scaler 2, Captain Plugins, Pilot Plugins, Phil Speiser the_instrument, Chordjam, Loop Engine 2 and now this one, Klimper 2. From all those plugins Klimper might be the simplest; It doesn't create chord progressions or melodies for me at the click of a button, and maybe that's why I like it the most. It just helps me find nice chord progressions, bass notes and melodies on my own, improving my workflow, making it super-easy to build tracks that work well together. It's a great concept. So simple, yet so effective. I've only used it for a few days but am already a great fan.

No upgrade offer for owners of Biotek 1 ☹️

? crazy! Forget what I wrote before. Now, if I was rich like Carl Ewing, I'd invite a whole orchestra to my home and after each session I'd buy wine and Italian food for all, freshly cooked by my personal Italian chef.

I wish I was rich like Carl Ewing seems to be. I'd have my personal music production coach. Hardware synthesizers all over the place. A masseur to massage my back while servants suggest chord progressions for me to pick.

Kontakt 7 for $45? What the ... ? ?

I bought it too. I kept getting their ads on Instagram, but it's always been too expensive, until now. It's very easy to learn and I love the workflow.
