The new Beat magazine is available for subscribers in German at https://www.plugins-samples.com/ English version coming a little later, as usual. With this issue you get DYNA-Mu from IK Multimedia for free. According to IK Multimedia: Again, Beat offers a free Zampler expansion, "Zampler EDM".

I forgot how expensive their transfer fee is. I used to pay the fee with their coupons that they were so generous with in the past. But those times are over, I guess 😢

If I remember it correctly, somebody sold me his or her 29 forever voucher and I bought Kirchhoff with that. 38€ is what I paid in total, no transfer fee.

You can always find someone selling Kirchhoff for less on Knobcloud: https://knobcloud.com/search?search_key=kirchhoff That's how I got it for 38€.

Apparently it's because I already had Analog Lab open since before that update. I removed it, added it back in and voila, the soundbank showed up 😃

Doesn't show up in my Analog Lab =(

Oh! I read it as roman numerals too. 😅 Now it all makes sense.

@User 905133 thanks for the update. So, I was wrong to assume that it's so new that it's not even on the IK website, but so old that it's not there anymore instead. Their product naming is confusing.

So new it's not even on the IK Multimedia website yet. When you search for it on their site, you get a search result: It links to https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/totalvi But when you go to that page it just redirects you to https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts4/ instead.

My first impression wasn't so good. It's quite large in filesize, the zip is 10GB, I think unzipped it's around 15GB. Then it took ages on my computer to generate a sample. And I didn't even like the result. I'm probably going to uninstall it again.

It's not alpha anymore

Available for Windows too now. Seems to have passed the Alpha phase and is still free.

Good reminder. Also, reviewing freebies also earns you points which you can turn into chips which you can turn into virtual cash or coupons. 10 points per review. 100 points give you one chip. I think that has a value of $4 if turned into virtual cash.

After a long time without freebies WA Production has finally blessed us with a great new freebie again. https://www.waproduction.com/sounds/view/free-anniversary-collection-vol-11

I bought MSoundFactoryLE for €19. It's unbelievable how much I get for that money.

You can't yet. Upgrades will be available when Scaler 3 gets released in March.

I get a lot of advertising for this plugin on Instagram lately. What surprises me is the incredible amount of positive comments, like 300+ people saying how much they love it though it just looks like an ordinary rompler.

I'm really glad they fixed that. I still remember the pain of losing my favorites in Syntronik 2 after I went through ALL of the presets to mark the ones I like 😭

I've had that with other sample pack vendors too, so I already have everything fairly high up in F:\audio-loops\[vendor] One thing that they did right at MIDI Klowd though is to have everything in a main folder inside each zip. With some other vendors it's like 90% of zip files will have a main folder inside and 10% won't. So when I select multiple zip files and use "Extract here" (with 7-Zip), there'll be plenty of "Kit1", "Kit2", "drum-loops" etc. in the main folder and I'll have no idea which sample pack that belonged to. Not with the zip files from MIDI Klowd though. I used "extract here" with all 167 zip files and didn't get any bad surprise.

True. Also, you have to download them all individually. Thanks to the browser extension "DownThemAll!" that wasn't so bad. But the zips inside zips? Not cool. I asked ChatGPT if there's a way in Windows to extract multiple zips from different subfolders into their current directory. It gave me a Python script which did all the work for me: Worked like a charm. The many subdirectories are crazy though.
