Supposedly there were a lot of presets from Beta that didn't make it to the final release because they "weren't ready".

Pleased to see that Groove3 released "Massive Tips and Tricks".
-
Supposedly they had a lot of well known designers contribute presets (but not Rob Papen). It does seem like the original had a whole lot more presets. I've been looking under the hood and there seem to be a lot of interesting things you could not do in the original. You have 6 effects slots, some of which can be used as oscillators. You can completely change the routing. You have a few ways of reshaping the wavetables. There are more than a few things I just don't get, but the manual should be coming out soon.

I picked up a 1TB SSD from Micro Center the other day for $85.

You don't need any NI hardware to use this software (although it does have features that integrate with the hardware). Komplete Kontrol is a shell/preset browser which allows you to search for presets independently of the instrument they belong to. For example, if you wanted to find an airy pad you could use the browser to find one and it will load up whichever instrument the preset was created in. You don't have to switch instruments, KK will do it for you. So if you wanted to switch between a Kontakt Rhodes to one created in Lounge Lizard, you can do that fairly quickly.

Only 4 that I didn't have, but for $11 it was still hard to beat. I didn't have time to audition all of these yet but I liked a lot of what I heard.

Half of these are string machines. I'm covered there. The main selling point of the Crumar piano seems to be that it was used on a Radiohead song. That leaves the Minitmoog, Cheetah, and Farfisa. I just don't that those three are worth it.

How do the new instruments compare to the old ones?
-
Ethereal Earth is promising. The other two didn't seem all that special to me.

Cbb, P5, BWS 2, SOP4. CW of course gets the most use because I have been using some form of it for 20 years Bitwig gets some play. I picked it up as a replacement for P5 because it seemed similar and I never took to Ableton Live. Studio One seems solid enough and has some nice features but I just haven't been that productive with it.
-
I think SO4 owners get a Waves reverb and the Proxima EQ as a bonus for purchasing from Plugin Boutique.

Lately it seems like I have been seeing a lot of opportunities to acquire products as freebies that are PACE (prot|inf)ected. It just seems odd to spend a bunch of money to protect your products from pirates only to have them given away as freebies.
-
It used to be that S-Gear never went on sale, now this one six months after the last. Hopefully this will indicate a new release.
-
I can't remember where exactly, but someone on one of the other boards said that Eric of JRR Shop told them that it doesn't officially start until Monday. Which is weird because the European retailers seem to be advertising that it started on 5/31.

Seeing it at AMS now. https://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-NAT-25778?src=Y0802G00SRCHCAPN&adpos=1o2&scid=scplpNAT+25778&sc_intid=NAT+25778&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxMjnBRCtARIsAGwWnBOWb7AfU2J37tS90YynmO9pqlyZLhuOe28bGRW2tqaBOgxNd2DH2hoaAlhcEALw_wcB

It looks like Best Service has run out of serials... https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/anyone-waiting-for-summer-of-sound-2019-sale.356417/page-16 Maybe next week.
-
So far I have only seen this on European sites such as Thomann, time and space, or best service. No USA sites yet.
-
I thought that was rule #3. Seems people haven't been following rules #1 & #2.
-
More like I am jonesing for the deal (the one from NI that usually happens around this time).
-
It seems to be coming late this year.
-
That instrument is just too expressive to be adequately captured in midi.
-
Yes, although I think it might be called Octaverb.

If I'm not using the guitar sim's reverb, I will probably use convolution or Breverb CW edition. Speaking of, I am really impressed with the reverb in S-Gear. It just does so many things so well. Also, Guitar Rig's Vintage Verb is really nice. One trick I recently discovered is to use the Octoverb's "Guitar" preset with a short time and mixed low or against another verb to give a bit of life to rhythm guitar.
