Does anyone know when (or if) new VIs like this one will be added to the Sonic Bundle? I assume it will be like NI's Komplete in that each new version will include everything that's been released up to a certain point.

Thanks for letting me know (and saving me $99).

The AI interface -- if it works as well as demonstrated in the video below -- would be a huge time-saver. I've wasted so much time clicking through presets to find the right tone. Being able to describe what I want in just a few words would be really sweet.

What you're talking about is RI, and it's happening everywhere. This video nicely describes how it has impacted our lives.

All the things mentioned in the video currently exist within their lineup! I think they've run out of new ideas (perhaps because they've been so successful in giving us all the tools we'll ever need). If true, then they're just going to reskin their existing tools with new GUIs, tweak the AI stuff, create additional spectrum-specific tools (e.g. a midrange tool) to go with their low-end and high-end tools. Maybe they'll even release frequency-specific tools such as the 30 Hz thump tool, the 31 Hz punch tool, the 32 Hz slam tool, etc. and argue that it's critical to focus on each frequency specifically. Then they'll hire some influencer to tell us that we've been mixing wrong all along and without these tools our mixes will suck.

Hmm, I received two emails from PB almost immediately. The first one asked my permission to send me the second one, and that one included the discount code and link to the stems. I should mention that -- as was the case for the recent Bloom KSHMR Lite remix contest -- the discount code was not visible in the initial message that was sent to my Yahoo Mail account, so I forwarded it to my Gmail account which then displayed it properly.

Okay, that's what I thought. I wouldn't be surprised in Native Instruments also creates one of these simple players. I think Kontakt may be too overwhelming for some folks. NI certainly has plenty of libraries/VIs from which to pull presets. If done right it could be an alternative for those who don't want to buy one of the versions of Komplete. And if the price is right it might even end up being their best selling product. It certainly seems like the market is heading in this direction.

So is this like Arturia's Analog Lab?

Hopefully they don't release anything on the last day of the year. 😉

Yes, that was my (free) route to Genome as well. TWOS, by comparison, was so awful that I wasn't even going to install Genome. But I'm glad that I did. BTW, they also have bass presets as well.

GENOME has really come a long way over the last few years. And they keep adding new stuff. I find myself using it more and more.

I was able to get a license key on the first try. I'm going to try it out tomorrow.

I went to UAD's website thinking this sale was for everyone, but, you need a vault key to be eligible. I laughed when I saw the following screen after trying to buy the bundle. It brought to mind "Signs" (by the Five Man Electrical Band).

FYI: download size is 7.2GB.

I think it would mean more to him if he can guess the code.

I think you may have missed the next line in my post to you: However - thanks to your post - I saved the image, opened it, and then I saw my code! And then this one: Thank you! I may not have received the coupon code in the inline image within the message due to Yahoo's formatting. Anyway, I'm all set now. Thanks again for the needed push...

Thanks for replying. My issue was that I couldn't find the coupon code (as described above). Cheers...

I checked my email message again, and there was no coupon code anywhere in the message. However - thanks to your post - I saved the image, opened it, and then I saw my code! Thank you!

Was anyone able to actually download the 'free' plugin? I followed all the instructions, received an email from Plugin Boutique, clicked on the Bloom KSHMR Lite image that said 100% off, was taken to the Plugin Boutique website, but the plugin is listed at $29. I thought maybe it would reduce when I checked-out, but it remained at $29. The only download link I received was for the stems. Does anyone know how to get it for free?

You can also save on voicebanks by buying them via a Custom Voice Bundle (for 2+ voices). I had to hunt for the link, so I'm posting it here.

So, pretty pretty good, hah?

The final version of Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro 2.1.1 has just been released too. You can read about it here.

A Dreamtonics voicebanks update (v201) was just released. The update focuses on enhancing the pronunciation and sound quality, becoming available after extensive beta testing sessions where participating users tried out research prototypes and offered valuable feedback. The v201 beta testers observed improved pitch accuracy, significantly better cross-lingual pronunciation, and the return of unique vocal timbres that sound closer to the original vocalists. You can obtain the updates by launching Synthesizer V, opening the Product Manager, and then clicking on the Update option under each voice. A link to the announcement can be found here.

Thank you @Brian Walton - that worked perfectly! I was just in the process of typing-up a support ticket when your reply came through. I'm going to bookmark the link you sent to prevent further grief. Cheers...
