True. I asked them about it. They basically replied that was then and this is now.

Just try their latest, the Twin3 subtractive synth. Dangerously close to hardware.

But they are soooooooooo good. (Got the Total Bundle, I’m an FF addict)

Loooooooove these strings

And SlateDigital VerbSuite

I actually have a number of unregistered serials (doubles) left going for pretty little: VIP3 serial, Hybrid3 serial, Xpand!2 serial, Vacuum Pro serial, Strike serial, Structure serial , Velvet2 serial AIEP3 Select bundle serial (DB-33, Mini Grand, Hybrid 3 , Loom, Strike 2, Structure 2, Transfuser 2, Velvet 2, Vacuum Pro & Fresh AIR Pack, theRiser & Flux Transitions)

Then you better try Friktion (and Objekt).

Still have an Xpand!2 serial lying around if anyone wants to get in on this upgrade to the collection.

Love that one from UVI. Undoubtedly one of their very best libraries.

Still a pretty interesting collection, and you only need one AIR instrument to get the complete upgrade. At least three of four are pretty pretty good.

Very good review here. Did it for me: https://cdm.link/2023/05/reason-studios-objekt-review/

Revised opinion. This is pretty pretty good. Just try it out for drums. Wonderful addition to the physical modeling world.

Come to mama

Still some of my absolute faves on Kontakt Player, Exhale up front, but also those FX, Portal and Thermal in particular.

Thanks. Windows only it seems.

Indeed. Didn’t know they were Apple Silicon compatible yet, but they are!

And then there’s the Salu series.

Haven’t tried it yet but the thing that got me is that it has algorithmic, convolution and granular reverbs, delays, chorus, EQ and saturation as a handy multi-effect box. But I’m sure you can use the separated you already have.

Continuing on my path to enlightenment, I’m thinking EZKeys 1 doesn’t need to be authorized anymore, but instruments do. This would mean that you can use EZKeys 1 on any number of computers as long as you authorize an instrument with it (while each instrument can be authorized to two computers). On the other hand, it seems EZKeys 2 can only be used on two computers as it has two authorization slots. Strangely, EZKeys 1 used to have (two) authorization slots before, but they’re now gone. After downloading EZKeys 1, it simply asks for an instrument to be added (and authorized presumably).

For me, Spitfire BBCSO and EastWest HOOPUS are must-haves.

Well, it’s a fine companion to their Kayvon Violin Intimate. I like playing with string libs and there are not that many around. However, clearly not as sophisticated as the ones from Osterhouse.

But would original EZK1 installations still work on two older computers if one installs EZK2 on two new computers even though the Authorizations tab in the Product Manager is gone? Or maybe it wouldn’t even be possible to install EZK2 on those new computers if EZK1 is still active on the older ones?

Actually what I’m wondering is if I can put (or keep) EZK1 on two older computers and then install EZK2 on two new ones.

That cello by Inlet is pretty good.
