Indiginus makes some very nice libraries for Kontakt FULL. This new dulcimer library sounds pretty good. I have and play a dulcimer, this one uses a different tuning and other playing styles than the ultra traditional drone harmonies I tend to use. They have also added chromatic sampling so its going to be pretty versatile. https://www.indiginus.com/appalachia

Roland's new physically modelled Earth Piano may appeal. On intro sale for $50 - I made a separate thread. 2.5GB for 7 pianos.

Goes up to $249.99 in two weeks. Physically modelled so it has low disc space requirements. There are seven pianos with a range of editing options. https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc_earth_piano/

I must have missed something. They all activated in one go but had to install and agree to the t&c for each one individually. Ah well, it's done now.

I got the FX Collection 5 for 49 Euro inc. VAT I only had a few items already. Its a PIA having to install each effect separately though!

I am confused at the moment. Resellers are listing an upgrade for users with "any version of of Neutron" but this does not appear as an option in my iZotope account? iZotope price is £167.30, Plugin Boutique £95 for the upgrade (still a bit steep) on top of this there the Native Instruments migration happening which seems to have transferred some of my licences to the Native ID but not all of them.

Just an update on this issue. Arturia support have been working and sending troubleshooting steps, all of which did not solve the issue. Today they escalated the issue to the next level of support. I started working through the next steps they suggested. I re-installed 5.10.6.5147 for the umpteenth time and miraculously the problem disappeared.

No intro deal as far as I can see but I have it installed through the Creative Cloud subscription. Its not one I would have bought as I have the ground well covered elsewhere. There are lots of samples synths that will particularly appeal to preset lovers, there are some very nice sounds in there a a reasonable degree of editing is possible. https://www.soundsonline.com/synth-and-effects/iconic

I surprised this new release has not been posted yet. but I don't think $49 is an intro offer and it will be cheaper at some point in the future. (I may wait) https://cherryaudio.com/products/atomika-synthesizer On the face of it its reasonably standard architecture one would not expect to be that different to a zillion other 2 VCO analog synth emulations but some of the review videos lead me to think it has a unique character due to the drive and starve distortion functions. It certainly does the dirty sounds well in demos.

Arturia got back to me with a couple of things to try including a more thorough uninstall / reinstall than I had tried previously. This was unsucessful. So I am back to using the older version as a temporary workaround.

I am waiting for a response from Arturia support. In the meantime I found an old installer for version 5.10.2.4741 on my system so I uninstalled 5.10.5.5098 and manually installed the older version. Everything seems to be working OK now so it seems the issue with the new version. As Promidi does not have the issue it could be system specific.

Got the crossgrade for £21.77 (including VAT) from Plugin Boutique using some virtual cash and cashing in tokens. First impressions are good. Full price was £35 inc VAT.

Is anyone else having issues with the latest Analog Lab pro update version. 5.10.5.5098. On running in stand alone for the first time after the update the GIU is scaled up to the maximum extent. Not a show stopper. In Standalone I cant get anything to sound with the same settings as before the update. Sonar's VST scan hangs on Analog Lab but it dose launch with the huge GIU, again no sound is produced. Other Arturia synths work correctly. Studio One won't even launch the plugin. Cubase VST scan fails when scanning Analog Lab and its added to the block list.

Wouldn't it be good if any chord tools could sync to the chord track in ****************** Too much to ask?
