Once you get your $100 voucher, don’t instinctively spend it on Falcon expansions (though a number of them are absolutely worthwhile) but also have a look at Augmented Orchestra, Augmented Piano, the KeySuite bundle and the Quadra’s.
I’m actually feeling quite positive towards Mike Greene, VI Control’s head honcho. He mostly remains neutral, which surely can’t be easy (also because he’s a dev himself, but he’s candid about that).
I’m actually pretty pleased with UVI updating Digital Synsations 1, as those four synths are sample (and wavetable) based, which is where UVI reigns supreme. Sampling romplers and other samples-driven synths also seems more logical than sampling purely oscillator driven ones.
