Even though it is a pretty complete package I wouldn't mind if they added a Polivoks or an OSCar. Maybe an advanced Additive synth.

https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=581665&start=180 Screen shots allegedly from future music's Spanish site posted for the JP 8000 and pure lofi. Note that there is a trance gate effect on the JP-8000.

That's actually a good point. When I use Analog Lab I tend to find presets for things I wouldn't have thought of, especially the layered ones. For example, I'm not really a fan of working with modular synthesis, but if I can find a patch that sounds cool I'll use it. Still, there are more than a few synths in there I haven't opened since I first got them.

Someone on KVR posted a link to a site which has since been removed which would seem to confirm that there will be the JP 8000 and some new Lo-fi sampler Called Pure LoFi. Also an update to SEM, which seems like an odd choice.

But how much does it come out to when you calculate the Plugins You Actually Use?

I generally agree but one thing they don't have in this collection is a drum kit.

Don't forget that before they were bought by Cakewalk, the Ultrafunk Sonitus package went for that much too.

If I had known that I probably would have gone for the first one, as it will be one less serial to enter next time I have to update everything.

I did too, and a few minutes later got an email from their customer rep saying that there was an issue processing the order. Also curious about them adding state tax on downloads.

Has anyone noticed they changed the name of the Jimi Hendrix and Slash packs for Amplitube to Electric Gypsy and L.A. Rocker?

Also a Komplete Kontrol update to 3.4.1

Most of the 3rd party products they have included have either been reincluded (Overloud), those that haven't I have either gone with the full version or decided I don't need if I haven't forgotten about altogether. On the other hand, there are a lot of products developed by Cakewalk which were in Platinum era Sonar but don't exist in the new iteration. I wouldn't mind seeing most of these plugins updated and added back, if only that it will make my life easier the next time I do a clean install. Even so, there are a handful of features I'd rather see. First would be some sort of painless method of updating stored instances of Kontakt to the latest versions. Other hosts can do this. Second would be some sort of tagged browsing system for track templates and FZ chains. Third, in most cases I find the containers for FX chains to be an encumbrance and would like to have the ability to drag and drop from the browser without having to extract plugins from the container.

Which patch banks are people liking here? It's kind of hard for me to remember which were ones I bought vs the random freebies or bundleware. I'm pretty sure that things like Synthetic Trap aren't ones I would have purchased on their own. I do remember having bought the Shofuku Cartridge series. It's impressive programming from a DX back in the day, but there's nothing here that stands out in comparison to all the other sounds I have. I like the Witcher tribute for it's fun creepy atmospheric sounds. So far I have been less than impressed with the Artist tribute packs that I have. Autretech is an exception, mostly because I don't know their music and can appreciate the sounds for what they are.

I think I mentioned earlier in the thread that I found a compatible DXi version of Rapture on a backup drive. I did check my original account, but I don't believe that specific version was available there. That is good advice in general, though. All's good, not much need to post to this thread any further.

Thanks. Although my issue was a bit specific for the spreadsheet this will be helpful the next time I replace my DAW with a new one.
