Did you get last year’s freebies after all, TTF?

But at least they’re not fugly.

Those pop-ups were freebies at one time or another. Bland deal.

Still, $199 is way too much for that one synth compared to the bundle.

That said, they were bad. So bad. Don’t get them. I’ll get them so you don’t have to.

Well, until last year they were huge. Ostinato Strings, Ostinato Brass and Ostinato Woodwinds, each between 11GB and 20GB. Then last year we got two, but they were tiny in comparison, around 1GB: Modal Runs and Ostinato Noir.

Up to? Should be down from!

Good to see you here, Greg!

Seems free for everyone?

Would like to get Thermal.

Yeah, I saw that. When I downloaded my AAS stuff (got them all!) there was the regular installer at 250MB or so, but also the NKS version (with sound examples) at almost 2GB.

That’s actually huge news for those who recognize the advantage here. So MainStage adds Sampler – with all the automatic multi-sampling, mapping, zone editing, looping, and synthesis in one easy interface, and Flex Time and EXS24 compatibility. And it adds Quick Sampler, too, with even easier ways of dropping an audio file to build an instrument, with automatic loop points and root notes and project tempo and slicing and live sampling. Honestly, it makes a terrific argument for keeping a Mac around as your main sampler. Interestingly, Apple also added Logic’s Remix FX, Drum Synth, and more. So if you don’t want to pony up for Logic, MainStage is a stupidly good deal – including for those who still remain invested in another DAW (which could be any number of dozens of competing options). I think MainStage is easily a must-buy if you’ve got a Mac. (Curiously, Apple also added score and lead sheet display with page-turning support, though on that count I would have thought those needing the functionality already have a tool – or use an iPad. But it does make me think that some celebrity Apple customer asked for this, so don’t be surprised if it shows up on someone’s stage rig when those folks are playing gigs again.)”

Yep

In the meantime you’ll love Chromaphone 2. It’s their second best instrument, right behind Chromaphone 3.

I have to stand with Larry and Tapsa on this. Bought a piano (Silk Grand) of theirs once, contacted support a few times and never heard back from them. Steer away indeed.

Puttin’ it on

Okay. Got it in. This is sooooooo good.

Mmmmm, interesting indeed.

Interesting to say the least. Apparently it’s the original DMS synth, and that’s a beast:

And free bees. Lots of ‘em.

Woop is poop

Fixed that for ya
