The bass sounds pretty nice for a €3.99 instrument.

What is this "Signature Piano" you speak of? Do you mean Signature Grand by Simple Sam Samples?

In v2 the crop tool doesn't forget its settings anymore (if you use a different tool or photo between cropping). I do a lot of cropping, so that fix alone is enough for me to upgrade, now that the price is more reasonable.

That price excluded the VAT, 24% in my case. I think this offer might include it, but I'm not sure.

https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/store/upgrade-offer/ My price is €80 for the whole creative collection. I'm not sure if it includes VAT. One year ago during the launch sale the price was around €124, I think. My Black Friday budget is shot to hell.

The Orchestra Essentials might be if you're planning to get any of the products in the same family tree, because it gives you an upgrade/crossgrade path.

Do you know how long this offer is available? EZBass + one EBX + The Orchestra Essentials for €179 is actually a pretty good deal, I think.

To save others some time, the deal is: buy one of their products and get a free expansion for it. Edit: Also, "Get a regular version of EZmix 2 at up to 80% off!*" Also available at Best Service. The price is the same (at least for me) but you get (and can use) BestCoins. Might be time for me to pick up the bass.

Yup, I was one of the people in line... Snatched Hive 2 for $66.30. Now I'm trying to decide if I need Diva (I know I don't). $79.65 with the code FORUM and a free preset pack:

The reason you should sign up is:

I think this was the first game I had ever played where I was an active participant in the introductory cut scene. It was amazing. I bet you I would hate the end result, because they would approach it from the "how to squeeze as much money out of this as possible" mindset. Two rants about the current trend in movie/tv industry, which I found both interesting: This one is a bit long-winded for my taste, but it raises some interesting points:

I'm in! I love their previous Maleventum libraries.

Yeah, I bought it there. I took the risk because it says "any bundle" and I have a bundle even if I haven't registered it. Worst case scenario we get refunded. It is possible that it's a glitch, but it would be weird if two websites had the same glitch.

Still available on PluginDiscounts. I had to pick this up even though I had bought the Essential Edition earlier. Good thing I haven't registered it so I can just maybe get some of that money back one day. But I think I'll hold on to it until I'm sure UAD lets us keep the licenses.

I agree. ?

According to u-he's customer support it applies to second hand licenses also, or at least to the one I purchased.

It's already €10 cheaper than what I paid less than two months ago when I thought I was getting a good deal. In addition to that: They are just twisting the knife, aren't they? I'm going to stop buying things outside of November.

You probably know this, but it would be a better option because it gives you Zebra Legacy for free* AND an upgrade path* to Zebra3 (for about €30 if I recall correctly). That's something to take into account when considering the price. I managed to buy Zebra2 in last July, so they are out there if you have the patience (and luck). * if it was originally purchased before November 2022, but I don't think it was sold after that anymore.

Were you thinking about buying the Zebra Legacy or are you trying to find the original Zebra 2 on the second hand market? Because every now and then there is someone selling the latter, albeit not very often.

Now I have to pump my knob myself.

You're right, it does. I didn't read that email. But earlier today I couldn't see those offers reflected in the prices. Maybe their site was glitching. I'll have another look once their site comes back online.

Same as last year. The upgrade prices are disappointing, though. I have Chorus Lite and Areia Lite and my price for the complete versions is only $40 less. Easy pass. Last year or the year before they had a crossgrade offer for people who had Nucleus and wanted to buy Jaeger. No such treat this year.

Nearly on topic: I watched a YouTube video where someone lamented that the basses in EZbass are only partially sampled, meaning that if you play the same note on different strings it plays the same sample. Is this something that has been fixed in the expansions or do they suffer from the same limitation? @Bapu, you probably know the answer to this, right?

Well, I for one am now open to purchasing it again, so well done with the damage control.
