My question as well. I don't have any SA, but my upgrade price is $49. It obviously has many more synths than VV, but, do I really need it. (Probably not).

Apologies in advance, but I couldn't resist.....

Correct, Opus replaces Play (and is much better in almost every way)

I always wondered why the strings are 3x the cost of the others installments. Still need to pick up those string machines....

What has your general experience been with the Tracktion Installer? I've never used it. I started just by picking up F'Em, the BioTek, then Abyss, then Hyperion. I just always installed them manually. Now that I have multiple products, I should probably look at the installer.

I also have the latest 5.7.4.371 installed, and I also see no sample patches for Acid V.

I did at one time. At least for me, it was always smarter to wait until the VCollection comes out. I usually wait about 6 months or so after a new V Collection comes out for the fist big sale (usually $99 for me). I never really liked the 303, but as a kid of the 80s, I loved the 808.

So you aren't Mr. Roboto?

@Bapu, this corner is getting mighty lonely over here...

? That would be me....

I would prefer this Colossus for $90.99 https://www.analoguesolutions.com/colossus-1

Yeah....Halion No snark intended - Halion is probably the most powerful piece of music software (DAWs notwithstanding) I have. It's structure is very complex, and many people just don't get along with it (much the same is said for UVI Falcon as well). I really dig it though - I still struggle with its structure, but you can get some truly amazing sounds with it.

Those look really nice, albeit pricey. @Canopus has some really nice vendor specific icons:

They do offer several at no cost as well. Its worth bringing up Analog Lab and selecting the "Free" option to see what is available. There are some great sounds there.

Good.

Amazing. Welcome to the club....

^He speaks truth...

That is a great deal. I think I paid around $180 to move from Horizon to Mercury. I don't regret it.

U1250 for me as well.

Atlantis 2 actually came out in November of 2022, but the SOS review is new. Stefano is currently working on Atlantis 3, which I think is his next library.

What's odd for me was that Retrologue was updatable, but Media Bay wasn't. Maybe I got that in the Padshop updates a few weeks ago.

That really is a great analogy. I've never thought about it that way before.
