I found out from support that currently, the following are M1 native: Sigma RVXX Shibalba Duality Bass Studio iQ505

I found GR6 to be much improved over GR5. If you’re after effects, GR6 Pro is quite loaded with them. https://gearspace.com/board/reviews/1338903-native-instruments-guitar-rig-pro-6-a.html It’s definitely usable especially if you use a clean amp for use as a pedal platform. You can always just use GR6 in a DAW for the effects before and/or after a better amp sim (or a synth). Nevertheless, I enjoy using it standalone to noodle around with (with a more straightforward MIDI implementation than AmpliTube). For $50, it would be pretty compelling, unless you’re saving up for the next Komplete upgrade.

Thanks. This prompted me to actually register entropy:EQ that I discovered in my pluginboutique.com account.

Looks like they're using a tiered pricing model: $14.99, $19.99, and $24.99. The Soundwide Intro Bundle ($49.99) + MC77 ($25.99) is $.02 short of $75 to use the $25 voucher. There's currently nothing available for $29.99. My wait resumes. I got the bx_opto from the PreSonus bundle.

Testing it out now. There's a noticeable delay when used live. Unlike Auto-Tune, Duo doesn't have a Low Latency setting. Bummer.

BTW, for those using Studio One, you can download a soundset for Xpand2 (as well as other AIR Music Tech instruments) from the cloud in PreSonus Exchange under Air Music Technology. It only works for the VST--it doesn't appear to work with the AU.

Right now it works on Big Sur under Rosetta 2. Don’t know if it’ll get updated to be Apple Silicon native but the fact that it was recently updated hopefully means it hasn’t been abandoned.

Being such an ancient plugin, I was pleasantly surprised that it was updated in 2021 for both Mac and Windows.

Does anyone know of Antares Duo can be used live?

Picked up Audiority Electric Matter (Electric Mistress flanger pedal emulation) for $10 (intro price) to get the freebie.

Didn’t know that about RX Elements. I have RX 7 Elements as well. According to this:https://support.izotope.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407777831699-iZotope-Compatibility-with-Apple-silicon RX Elements is listed under “Compatible with Rosetta and will be compatible with Native in 2022” but it doesn’t state which version.

My laptop SSD is already pretty full, but I bought the bundle anyways. Maybe I'll even use it when I have more space (when I build a desktop system).

I'm in the same boat. While the new amps models would be nice to have, with the equivalent of AmpliTube 5 MAX from the GB (and the PA amps I got), I have enough to play with. I'm covered with the basic amp families. Now, it's collecting specific amps, and for that, I can wait (although I assume that the more recent the release, the better tech and sound). But the Syntronik GB is still going on. It might push out a general GB. I remember they did an AmpliTube GB and a T-RackS GB before the most recent general all inclusive one.

Yup, it's either/or. This discount is more than the JamPoints you can apply to the $49.99 (would be max at $15).

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/guitar/guitar-rig-6-pro/comparison-chart/ Here's what GR 6 LE has (with my notes): * = not available in Factory Selection (free version) AMPS: Chicago (NEW) - '50s Supro * Bass Pro - Ampeg SVT-2 Pro * Jump - Marshall JMP (I relistened and it's OK, I must've had cab bypassed) Twang Reverb - Fender Twin Reverb * VAN51 - Peavey 5150 * CABINETS: Matched Cabinet Matched Cabinet Pro (NEW) * EFFECTS: Delay/Echo Delay Man - Electro Harmonix® Memory Man™ Replika GR (NEW) * Twin Delay Distortion Demon * - MXR Dime Distortion DD11 Dirt (NEW) * Skreamer - Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer Dynamics Limiter Noise Gate Noise Reduction Stomp Compressor * - Boss CS-1 Compression Sustainer Supercharger (NEW) * Tube Compressor Volume Pedal Equalizer EQ Graphic * EQ Parametric EQ Shelving Solid EQ (NEW) * Filters Autofilter * - Musitronics Mutron III Pro-Filter - Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Filter Section Real Wah * - Real McCoy Custom RMC-1 Modulation Flanger Chorus - TC Electronic Stereo Chorus + Flanger Phaser 9 * - MXR Phase 90 Phasis (NEW) * Reverb Raum (NEW) * Studio Reverb So, as an FX platform, GR 6 LE is pretty good (for guitar or synths). It adds a good number of effects over the free GR 6. I would suggest using the Twang Reverb as a clean amp pedal platform. Its MIDI integration is better/more flexible than AmpliTube.

So, if individual serial numbers are generated, that is, if they're not generating a single serial number for the bundle, then one can sell or give away the duplicates. Somebody verify this. For me, RX Elements (to update from RX 7 Elements), VocalSynth (don't know if I'd ever use this), NIMBUS (M1?), R4 (M1?), bx_console N, bx_delay, bx_digital, and bx_stereomaker (but I might not ever use these) could be worth $50. Will wait for verification of licenses and a $29 sale to bundle with this (to use $25 voucher).

On the IK store, I added AmpliTube MESA/Boogie 2 (showing discounted price at $49.99) to my cart and it automatically applied MESA220 promo code for $22 off, for $27.99 total, without using any JamPoints. I have MESA/Boogie 1 from before--not sure if that's a prereq.

Appropriate for Star Wars Day ...

From what I read on another forum, the voucher doesn't apply to Gig Performer since it's not a plugin. Booo ...

If the bundle is available for purchase from Plugin Alliance, then I think the strategy would be to use the $25 off $75 monthly voucher and buy it with an on sale $29 plugin for a net $55. Will have to wait and see what $29 deals pop up.

Actually, all of NI's libraries don't require full Kontakt. Kontakt Player is sufficient.

The only ones I don’t have are VocalSynth, R4, Nimbus, and bx_console N. This is a good deal for those who are new to plugins. The Jump amp in free Guitar Rig 6 was unusable with the highs being strident but the Chicago amp in GR6LE is one of the new amps that’s pretty good (low gain amp). Usable as a pedal platform. Not sure what else is in GR6LE but just having a decent amp makes it usable since the effects in GR6 were pretty good. Of course, I ended up with GR6 Pro, AmpliTube 5 via GB, and a lot of PA amps before I knew how to make use of effects.

I counted 64 plugins in my account (from 2019). About half of them I got for free (intro, PreSonus, free after the $20 vouchers). The rest were all $10 or $15, with an occasional $25, mostly once a month to pick up a sale item. I don't think I'd spend as much if the minimum was $50.
