No Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro for some reason. Got it for my AirPods Pro. But mostly for the plugin count.

Open a support ticket asking if they plan on adding your model.
 No guarantee that they'll add it but it shows them that there's an interest.

They added support for my AKG Q701 model after I asked, even though the reply I got for the ticket was noncommittal 
"we are planning to add many other models, not sure yours will be supported.
Just stay tuned for any news about the plugin."

Did you try it?

PluginBoutique now has it for $149 too.

You beat me by $.50 but this is something that looks (more) interesting (to me)...  (YMMV)

Surge XT 1.2.2 update released
Some info:  Surge Synth 
Download: Surge (surge-synthesizer.github.io)

Changelog:

Changes in Surge XT 1.2.1 and 1.2.2

We released Surge XT 1.2.1 on April 30, 2023, and 1.2.2 fixing a small error on May 1. It fixes a few small irritations from the previous version and adds a couple of features which we had ready for the next release.

Headline Changes

• In 1.2.0 we have corrected a problem with audio input for irregular block sizes, but we warned about this situation too loudly and way too often - the warning is now moved to the audio input oscillator screen (in 1.2.2; in 1.2.1 it is on every oscillator screen), but the feature is kep
• Renaming a patch could cause a race condition in our patch database - especially on Linux systems - causing a simple rename to show a large number of database lock errors - this is now fixed

Tuning

• Pitch slider set to 0 in Absolute mode now tunes correctly with Scala tuning files loaded

Modulation

• Fixed pitch bend becoming stuck when toggling MPE mode during held bent note
• Made sure Portamento set to 0 is strictly 0 in all modes

UI/UX

• Clearing FX slot or chains will now disable bypass if a slot or slots were bypassed
• Dragging a node in MSEG shows a value tooltip
• Fixed font difference after typein for VKB Tempo field
• Fixed a problem where Oscilloscope improperly grabbed keyboard focus
• Allowed envelope retrigger options for Latch play mode
• Fixed a problem whereby the Tempo field in standalone didn’t work in some cases

Content

• Added CC0 license to the Init Square template patch

Infrastructure

• 1.2.2 contains our last binary distribution of the LV2 format. Going forward users needing an LV2 will need to self build. (1.2.1 is missing an LV2).

To clarify my post, I was tongue-in-cheek referring to this stuff where your access to downloading sounds will expire and I guess you have to pay for access to them: 

Thanks, realized that but was concerned about having to pay XX$ more because I missed an upgrade window 

Found it.

IK Multimedia • Total Studio 4 MAX Released, MAX line updated, new pricing

Quote

The pricing are set as regular prices. However, the $/€50 coupons will only be available through the end of the month.

So the $50 coupon is gone but the $299** MAXgrade price is fixed.
**down to $209.99 with Jam Points applied 

So since I was going to use Jam Points, no rush. 

The $299 upgrade price will that expire?

If you have Acon Digital Restoration you save 50% on upgrades to Acoustica Premium Edition (so $99.95) or Acoustica Post Production Suite 7 (so $149.95)
Check on your account page under special offers.

Cinematic Trio for $29 also!

"a pack of 3 epic big-screen-ready sound banks for Augmented STRINGS, VOICES, and GRAND PIANO, discounted for existing owners of these 3 instruments or Analog Lab."

How do these show up?
As an instrument update or ?

Hmmm.  I've got multiple brass libraries.
I guess the question I've got to answer is:

Am I horney enough or not?







I'll get my coat (and ponder this later)...

Bitwig is essentially Live, but cross platform (the whole thing is written in Java after all) and more difficult to use once you get past the standard pedestrian tasks any DAW does.

Like anything sourced from Reddit or Facebook it may be suspect but post implies it originated from Bitwig's Facebook page.

I guess Larry found himself a deal...
Enjoy.

That’s strange. I only see Albion Colossus on sale

Annie's take on it:

The sale'll come out tomorrow  ♫
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow ♪
There'll be a sale!!

Just thinkin' about tomorrow ♪
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely  ♫
I just stick up my chin and grin and say, oh

The sale'll come out tomorrow ?
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may! ?

I don't have the ability to play very good solo piano or jazz pieces, which is where this piano absolutely shines. 

LOL, that hasn't stopped me, my keyboard chops suck.
MIDI editing and the Piano Roll View are my friends.

My system is running low on disk space - I almost bought this last week at the higher price.
Thanks @cclarry Pulled the trigger (PayPal payments).
The Crucial P3 Plus M.2 2280 4TB that was mentioned on this forum several weeks ago was significantly cheaper but it's PCI-Express 3.0 instead of 4.0 and my system supports 4.0.

There are a lot of piano libraries that I don't believe are good enough for me.  In this case, I'm (my playing,that is) not good enough for this piano. I completely love the sound, but I can't do it justice solo and I'm not sure it would fit with rock productions. 

Maybe, but the demos sound lovely.
Full sounding, no harshness in the high end, fast staccato notes sound balanced & real - makes my wallet want to crawl out of my pocket and spit my credit card at me.
If I didn't have more piano libs that I will ever use, I'd have bought it.

Thought I'd check to see if maybe there might be something worthwhile picking up at this price and...

My PA account is gone? ?
Thought maybe I just needed to reset my account password but my email is no longer recognized, get message that no account is connected to that email. ?
Sent message to support.
Wonder if my account got hacked.

Edit:
My account is now back and working.  Don't think I'm missing anything but will have to verify later.
No email / explanation from PA.
Glad that it's back but still slightly uncomfortable over it.

I own both big & little v1, my upgrade w code was $9
Thanks for post.

I have the other Mosaics. The preview on this didn’t get my interest that much yet. Probably because I have synths well covered already.  May or may not look at it further.

What I listened to of the preview sounded nice but after consideration I've decided to pass up this deal because, like you, I have synths well covered.

Really trying to keep my spending in check, so I don't know if I should thank you or not...

I prefer Bird’s Rolling Sampler. I really didn’t like the waveform display on Rewind. https://www.birdsthings.com ($19) There are trials for both so you can decide for yourself. 

Trials are for Linux & Mac only.

Windows demo link is near the bottom of the web page.
