I wonder if the liquidation of older UVI assets is a hint that something is happening to UVI at the corporate level (getting acquired by Avid?)

For anybody who hasn't received the coupon already - registering the copy of elements from Beat magazine (free of charge, see other thread in this forum) will get you a product with an active update plan and this MWTM coupon The Mix With The Masters booth at the AES convention is a must visit for me every year (keeping fingers crossed for a non-virtual AES NYC this year). The people they get to do seminars and presentations are really awesome to listen to.

While looking around info about the differences in Hammond organs (to decide if it was worth getting the SampleTekk one) I came across this eBay deal... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hammond-Rhythm-II-Organ/274383394922?hash=item3fe286586a:g:IpMAAOSwh55eZsNq

ok, I'll bite and I apologize in advance if I'm spoiling the game - go to the link posted by @dee, scroll down a couple of pages where it shows the issue content, look at the entry for page 82 and enter the different words there, it doesn't take many tries...

I'm interested in Amber & Sparkle

For upgrading from an older Waveform, JRRShop is a considerably better deal than directly from tracktion. As a side note, I found it amusing that according to the picture here https://www.tracktion.com/products/retromod the source for sampling the SEM might be the Arturia SEM V instead of an Oberheim SEM...

@User 905133 More than canceling, I'd suggest turning off autorenew as soon as you subscribe to something you're unsure of, and then turning it back on if you decide to keep the subscription after reading a couple of issues

Does anyone remember if previous versions of the V collection had releases of their individual synths prior to the release of the new version? I'm just wondering if this is it for now and there is no v8 in the near horizon, considering that the number of synths added for each new version has been declining

Hey, it's a little less if you have a NI voucher somewhere... ?

Looks like melody editor is the functionality integrated in rc4 and melodya is the vst version for integrating elsewhere

Lol, cclarry just inspired a new meme https://imgflip.com/i/41ll0g

Thank you for the informative comment among all the noise of bad jokes (of which I'm guilty too) and branch conversations I paid with a visa card (virtual single-purpose number) instead of paypal and it worked without a hiccup. The site uses sendowl, the same payment processor as Audio Assault. In summary, this is a "no frills" and relatively small (for the price) loops&midis collection, but sometimes simple is good.

All the power to those chord players! ?

Yes, it is being enforced. I just tried it and got:

@Carlos I'm sure you're familiar with https://www.bing.com/search?q=screen+recording+software

Yes, there are many games you'll never play, and if you tend to play the latest and greatest then the Monthly Bundles is not what you want. On the other hand, while there aren't major titles that just came out a month ago, it's not all "phone games". There's a decent mix of older major titles (e.g., Shadow of war or Overwatch showed up in the bundle slightly over 24 months after their corresponding releases) along with more recent "middle-tier", or yearly franchises from last year (e.g., F1 2019), and then yes, indie and minor titles that are more "phone-like". Given the low subscription prices often just one game makes it a good deal even if everything else is "filler" Humble made a couple of changes this year that address the concerns about getting too many unwanted items. It used to be that you had to pay before knowing what was in the monthly bundle. Now, on the first Friday of the month you see what is in the bundle, and you have about 20 days to decide whether to keep it (if you start unlocking games or do nothing) or to suspend that month (extend your subscription one more month instead of getting the games). The other change this year is that the bundles are larger and instead of getting everything you just choose a subset (which also reduces the amount of "fillers" that you end up getting). I don't like much the subscription models where you have nothing left when you stop paying but I do like the idea of paying a subscription and getting a random mix of permanent licenses. This is why I'm quite happy with my Monthly Humble. It could be interesting if we had a similar model for plugins and soundware. In a way the "cover disks" from Computer Music & Beat magazine, have some resemblance with this model (esp. since they started including some full licenses that aren't limited versions, like Air's Vaccum Pro or IK's White 2A and Vintage 670). Maybe the PA subscriptions with the vouchers are also getting close to this, although they still feel like getting an "extended demo" with a purchase at the end (which has the typical concerns of using demos extensively - junk on disk, choice overload, projects that may not open later) . Also, one of the key points in the Monthly Humble is the variety of producers (PA does have multiple developers but not that many). The humble monthly model applied to plugins would look like this: Pay a $15/month subscription and get a bundle containing some of the "best of 2017/2018" and previous but still useful versions of well established franchises (e.g. something from these lists https://www.musicradar.com/news/the-14-best-new-effects-plugins-in-the-world-right-now or https://www.musicradar.com/news/the-best-new-effect-plugins-of-2017) along with a few sample packs and more recent but lesser-known indie plugins.

@Grem The Elder Scroll series has some very nice music, maybe you can write down the gameplay as "inspiraton" ?

Given the current partnership with PA I wonder if they will focus on new instruments or if a few emulations of the older PPG instruments (with TMT inside ) will soon be part of their lineup While looking for more info on early PPG, I came across Wolfgang Palm's patent on wavetable synthesis https://patents.google.com/patent/DE3823025A1/en?inventor=Wolfgang+Palm&oq=inventor:(Wolfgang+Palm). Google's automated translator seems to have some strong opinions about wavetable synthesis... Maybe some of the German speakers in this forum can help Google improve their AI systems...
