Thanks for this. i never got an email. But was able to add them to my tally. However (hoping) to upgrade to TRacks 6 and having never used my jampoints before. Found out I can only use max 30% of them against a purchase. So they will gather dust still.

I've seen that APD have the IKM Tracks 5V2 on offer for $39 (£31 for me). But concerned that IKM will not honour it as they are pushing TRacks 6. I have TRacks 5 SE and don't need 6. But this would be a good one as I can use the individual modules in my DAW. Is APD right in selling this older version? Will IKM honour it?

PB have added a IKM TRacks Studio Bundle as a giveaway with purchase. Includes Space Delay, White Channel and Tape machine 440. Seems a goodie. However It doesn't state if they are TR5 or TR6. I only have TR5 and have heard there are issues with TR6 not recognising TR5 modules. I would grab these otherwise. Offer is until 29th Nov. https://www.pluginboutique.com/

Have to say that when I cloned my OS HDD to the Samsung EVO 860 about 2.5 years ago. I used the Samsung Magician software to do so. And it went without a hitch. Just read about a high failure rate just after the pandemic of the EVO870s (mostly 4TB). Due to shortages of materials and sourcing from outside their usual channels. Samsung never commented.

Hi All. A simple question. I'm tempted to update a Crucial 1TB SSD to 2TB Samsung EVO 870. This is my D drive (samples) out of three C - OS (Samsung 860 500)/D (Crucial MX500 1TB Samples - NI etc)/ E - Crucial MX500 1TB - none Kontakt full libraries etc. I had been aware of lots of issues with the 870EVO's (Mainly 4TB and about 2021-22 I think). Has anyone bought a 870 in the last year and is it ok?. It's on sale for £109 so much cheaper than usual. Just a bit concerned that things have not been addressed. And there is a lot of conflicting info out there. Many Thanks in advance.

With a choice of 45 or 47 frets. And designed for small hands. Embarrassing....

Valhalla Super Massive has been updated to V4. Incl new sounds - Pleiades. And updates for Mac compatability. FREE ! One of the best 'verbs, paid or free. https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/

Fracture (with the Blueprint series), and Westwood and Heavyocity are producing some of the best free Kontakt instruments I think. They really are a lot of bang for no bucks.

It is quite common for the modulation wheel to be assigned to velocity/volume/expression in Kontakt. Try hitting a key and moving your modulation wheel.

Does anyone have this. And give feedback. This fits my budget (low). And i write ambient/soundscape stuff. Thanks.

VoS (one of my fav devs) has updated TesslaSE to MK3. Incl VST3 (windows only). It's an analog style signal enhancer. I use it on busses. And adds a bit of "mojo" whatever that is. https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/2024/10/24/tesslase-mkiii-released/

Thanks. There are just a couple i wanted and now I can !

Rigid Audio has announced it is to close down on 1st Jan 2025. http://www.rigid-audio.com/ Don't know if there will be a blow-out sale (isn't there always?). But I've got some mileage out of his stuff. And got good prices and freebies.

I use a Presonus Studio 26C. Make sure you only select/use the Presonus ASIO.

Melda has updated the Melda Plugin Manager to 01.14. Plus the free Melda Fx has been updated to V17.02 with the addition of a free version of MDelay. There is also the option now for offline installation. https://www.meldaproduction.com/downloads?_fid=ffm6
