For bass, I am all over the place! I have the Ample Sound acoustic upright and 5-string electric, most of the UJAM basses, MODO Bass, and Toontrack EZbass. That sort of just happened. I even have a Fender P-bass in the closet... I don't doubt that OT has some fine basses, but I'm not in the bass market at the moment...

FLAC is lossless... https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/what-is-flac-the-high-def-mp3-explained/

That's a great choice! And I paired it with the Evolution Rock Standard electric. https://www.orangetreesamples.com/products/evolution-rock-standard "Evolution Rock Standard extensively reproduces the sound of an iconic electric guitar that holds a central role in the history of rock music. These guitars have continued in popularity through the decades, featuring in countless landmark recordings and performances." "Its dual humbucker pickups provide bold mid frequencies, supplying ample presence for crunchy and high-gain tones as well as generous warmth for clean tones."

Analog Lab is perfect for primarily preset users, who are seeking sounds quickly to write a song with. But you are correct about deep editing, in that you would want the full V Collection for that capability.

No problem. I'm on a budget until then, LOL!!! ?

Analog Lab is a whole heap of great sounds for cheap! Well worth getting the full Lab. And don't miss the free sounds available, as you have already discovered! Analog Lab and Pigments were my gateway to the Arturia ecosystem, then I added Piano V that was bundled with a new controller. I eventually ended up with an offer to upgrade to the full V Collection 8 for $249. Couldn't pass that up!

... I agree. I am running a low end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, which is plenty fine for what I do. It benchmarks with Passmarks's Performance Test 2D mark at 72% and 3Dmark at 63%, vs. the world (Percentile). @cclarryFree trial, with standard functions available after trial expires. https://www.passmark.com/products/performancetest/index.php

By the way, as Greg has pointed out, the demo MIDI files are already available as "optional" downloads in your product downloads page.

Myst and Obduction seem to use an amazing mix of music and *Foley to create that immersive 3D atmosphere of wonder, exploration and discovery! *Foley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(filmmaking)

Obduction is an amazing game! Still need to finish it. I got deep into it, but had a turn of life events that pulled me away long enough to lose the momentum. When I find time, will start at the beginning again. I can't think of another game that got my attention like that one! And did you pick up Myst 2021 with that Cyan bundle? The re-imagined Myst version produced in real-time 3D and VR.

I wasn't going to buy anything today, so this may appease the GAS symptoms a bit this weekend... ?

Another one of those "blink and you'll miss it" deals... ?

The Kilohearts hosts have the games: Phase Plant has "Phase Invaders", SnapHeap has "Asteroider", and Multipass has "Snake!". I say, I say, hey son whatcha doin playing games? Yer sposed to be making music!

Kilohearts Essential Vs. Cherry Audio Voltage Modular? Apples and oranges, if you are referring to the Snapin hosts "Snap Heap" and "Multipass". Not tone generators. They are modular FX processing chains, that can only use only the Kilohearts Snapins, i.e., "walled garden". Although these Snapin hosts can be used as VST FX plugins elsewhere, so your Snap Heap presets are portable. But if you are referring to the Kilohearts synth host, Phase Plant, it is a semi-modular synth that you can add as many supported oscillators (including your own single samples), envelopes, filters, modulations, etc. as you wish, with all output running to 3 FX lanes where you can stack as many Snapins (including Snap Heap or Multipass) as you wish in parallel or serial mode. But Kilohearts is a closed ecosystem, compared to Voltage Modular, and Phase Plant is not a true modular rack synth. I have Voltage Modular, but Phase Plant is probably my favorite synth right now for diving under the hood quickly, and intuitively. Everything is right there, starting with a blank slate. For example, go from an init patch, to this:

Correct. Apparently JRR has corrected their pricing "error". Although it's still 50% off the regular $149 price!

Correct, but I assume many folks just use the many included presets in the V Collection, so this post was made to point out the Mellotron V is actually a sampler. One with the added benefit of being able to process your samples through their emulated Arturia "tape mechanism". The newer vintage Mellotron knockoffs are actually late to the game! Also TAPE MELLO_FI, included in the Arturia FX collection, is inspired by the Mellotron. "The sound of the Mellotron The Mellotron, introduced in 1963, was a keyboard that had a tape playback mechanism under every key. Tape MELLO-FI’s sound and behavior is inspired by Mellotron V, our software recreation of this legendary instrument."

Legacy Cakewalk instruments are old, unmaintained code. Which in many cases will still work fine, until it doesn't! If the problem is due to a software incompatibility with Reason, then you would need to convince Reason support to implement a workaround fix. I ran into a similar issue using a Cakewalk instrument with Ableton Live some years ago, and Ableton support straight up told me they were not going to support any end-of-life plugins. It is what it is. If the old stuff still works, then great! Otherwise not so much... One other thing to consider is that you may not have all of the older Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables installed on your machine. That can sometimes cause errors with older software being run on newer Windows machines, independent of the DAW being used.

@User 905133Glad that you got it sorted out! Enjoy your new toy, and at least try to get a little sleep tonight!!! ?

That's strange, as I still had $37 sale total at check-out! The cart had already applied an automatic discount of $37 to the $74 subtotal, leaving a grand total of $37. I cancelled the transaction, as I already own Buchla V, but I was just curious. JRR is not a scammer!

The Kilohearts Snapin "hosts" all use the same modular FX concept and software code under the hood. Phase Plant, Snap Heap, and Multipass are all modular in design, and can arrange the FX Snapins in virtually unlimited configurations. They are a key part of the sound design potential when used internally in the Phase Plant synth. Multipass is similar to Snap Heap, but takes things to another level. You can separate the incoming audio by frequency bands, and then apply the different FX lanes to different frequencies!

Wow!!!

"Installed".

I wouldn't recommend buying an individual Arturia instrument, except for Pigments that goes on sale occasionally for $99 or less. I bought the entire V Collection on sale for slightly more than an individual V Instrument at MSRP. That's the way to roll!!!
