I was up to 5, but cut back a bit. Now it's 4. ?

Thanks! It appears that AIR has abandoned development of their legacy plugins, other than some installer compatibility tweaks. I acquired their full collection about 5 years ago. Not much has changed since. The last upgrade for a legacy AIR plugin I can recall was for Loom II in 2017, an upgrade that I later grabbed on sale at a deep discount. The new releases are probably based on the new synth engine used in Drum Synth 500 ("Drum Synth 500 is built on powerful all-new engine for live performance or studio use"). I also grabbed that on sale at a deep discount. Not bad!

Studio One!

Aha, thanks! That explains why I missed it. I refuse to follow devs on Facebook. They should make an effort to update their support forum threads, or else have their resellers email customers about upcoming updates... But some companies are now so all over the place with social media, it makes the head spin as where to look for the latest info. It shouldn't be that hard. Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc. Ugh...

Where did you hear "at the moment"? I recall that Simon Bangs, the AIR marketing guy, tried to recruit some beta testers over at KVR a few years ago. However, nothing but crickets ever since...

I'm a bit confused by this statement. The latest product versions are the same old versions that one already has installed, correct? All I can see is that this is an upgraded content collection, but without any actual instrument upgrades involved. AFAIK all 2021 PC updates from AIR were for the Windows 10 installer bug fix.

Wonder when they plan to add VST3?

What if you already have AIEP Complete, Loom II, VIP 3, and Drum Synth 500? Looks like I get to add Boom and a few more Hybrid expansions to an end-of-life collection of instruments for $239. ?

Ableton rulz!

MIDI channel assignments! Each instrument slot in a multi-timbral plugin such as Kontakt and SampleTank can be assigned to a channel 1-16. They must match up with the MIDI track/clip for the intended instrument.

From the OP...

Agreed. It runs the majority of the world's cloud servers, and likely all of the world's supercomputers.

It's 29% off unless you own Striiiiings.

Right-click over your banks in the SM One preset browser and select "Restore my expansions". You will get any missing or new banks downloaded and installed. Bluffmunkey Cinematic is a nice set! I was working on a stack in Unify earlier with a lead from Syntronik 2 V-80, and several BPM pads and drums from PluginGuru's new "UniLoFi" bank. So just dropped in one of the new Bluffmunkey Cinematic sequences, #49 "Search Pattern". Exactly what it needed!

Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows. Until it wasn't... ?

FYI, this thread is 3 years old, and has been dead for almost 2 years. At least until a few hours ago... ?

I got the email today, but Larry beat me to it, as usual! ? And yes as stated, this is Kontakt Player friendly, so full Kontakt is NOT required!!! This $95 deal is a great discount for 48 hours only! Got this on sale last year, and it is amazing! Try using a MIDI generator such as Wotja to drive it for some interesting evolving textures & patterns! Bioscape even includes a preset folder with ASMR sounds. [EDIT]: One thing not so obvious about this player UI at first look, is that there are actually 4 sample slots, [A:B], and [C:D], so that you can toggle the view of 2 of them back and forth with that button in between [A:B]. Plus you can load your own samples by drag and drop into each slot, so this also makes a handy sample player where you can add modulations and FX processing to your samples! Here is a video overview of some of the new v1.4 sounds:
