Maybe because I also have Objeq delay and the Session Bundle (twice). It's the same offer I had at Christmas except they also added Stranger Strings sound pack then IIRC.

No probs Mesh ??! I might also use my coupon on Shredspread, now if I could only pronounce it ??‍♂️

I have been trialing Pigments since they offered it for $69 to V Collection owners (6 days so far) and have been very impressed. Now I have to decide between this and the AAS collection half price upgrade which I keep putting off every time it comes up. I am leaning towards Pigments as it seems to offer something different but maybe I should wait and see what's in Massive X (any day soon) before deciding.

Hey Mesh, yes I have it too. I use it in a similar way to Mike on acoustics but also on clean electric tracks to create some width when I don't want to add any effects that would achieve the same but add an effect (e.g. chorus/flange). There is a mono frequency control so that you can leave mono anything below that frequency which is useful for emulating that Boz pan knob. You can also solo the mid/side to isolate the mid (mono) and side (virtual stereo) signals to hear them in isolation. It looks as though there are some preset options but my preset list is blank. I notice in my account that there is an option to upgrade to Schoeps Mono Upmix for $49.

Thanks Larry. Could this be in preparation for the release of Massive X?

Also check your account for upgrade offers. I have a complete my collection offer for $124 (includes Chromaphone 2, Lounge Lizard EP-4, String Studio VS-3 and Ultra Analog VA-2 as I already own GS-2). https://www.applied-acoustics.com/ Also at 3rd parties e.g. https://www.jrrshop.com/aas?dir=asc&order=name

Thanks for confirming Peter. Must be some great sounding cymbals!

Hey Mesh, had a quick play with the presets using my Tele and it sounds great. Wouldn't have paid 179 but excellent for free! GAS is even harder to resist when it's free ?

That worked for me, thanks DrShelder.

Zo, I'm still waiting for Peter to reply to my query about what is using the 20Gb. Maybe he didn't see it as it got buried by other posts? Hopefully we will get an answer soon. I am getting the 50 EUR voucher added automatically to my basket when I try to Pre-Order. When I remove it to use jampoints instead I can briefly see a screen where I can add jampoints but that disappears and it goes back to the "voucher added" screen instead so there is no way I can even use Jampoints instead of the voucher and I have 195 to use up by 1st July! At least I can use some of them on the tape collection by buying GCs to top up my existing GC and buy it through the Custom Shop.

Worked a treat for me and they replied quickly tonight! Thanks Grem ??

I found this video where they do a mix from start to finish using many of the tools in MPS 2.1 which is quite informative if you don't already use them (or even if you already do!).

Asking the same thing... I don't have it (yet) but Syntorial does look useful and there are also free add-on packs for a number of soft synths (e.g. Massive, Sylenth, Z3TA+ 2, Serum). I like the look of the feature where a sound is "hidden" and you have to try and re-create it.

Same here. See the MODO drums thread. Bapu too.

I had the same email today Bapu. Mine also expire on 1st July and there are lots of them! That's why I am more focused on what MD has to offer ?

Hi Peter, I am looking at the specs for MODO Drums and it says that 20Gb of hard drive space is needed. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mododrum/index.php?p=specs I thought that one of the advantages of modeling is that you don't need lots of space to store samples (which is one of the reasons I like MODO Bass). Is that information correct or is the space used to store something else? Thanks

Hey Zo, They are AAS packs. I have been working my way through all of the new stuff and I'm about half way but so far it is all top quality. Some packs are more "effect" oriented than music but the number of packs covers so many options you could almost use just these packs to make an entire song. In fact that sounds like an interesting challenge which I might try.

Yes that's also what happened for me. Not only a bargain but they made it easy to register and identify the new items! The "Synth packs" are actually Strum Session 2 and Ultra Analogue Session 2 (which I already had from Sonar Platinum) and I just realised that I already had Pop Rocks. I'm sure those extra licenses will come in handy though. Great deal!

Yes, here's a link and don't forget the extra discount code GROUP at the checkout. https://www.jrrshop.com/izotope-music-production-suite-upgrade-mpb

Great deal, well spotted Fleer ?? Thanks for the updated link Larry/chris.r. I was surprised to find that I don't have any of them so this must be the deal of the month for me!

Same here Fleer but still a great deal for those that don't. I'm sure they gave DDLY away free at some point at least I don't recall paying for it.

Interesting. To be honest I hardly ever need something like RX but I have to say it worked great for the specific use I had in mind and I reckon I have already had my 9 bucks worth. I was surprised that it even had a Spectral view for an entry level product. The voice de noise worked a treat. Will still be interested in whatever Uncle E has to offer though ? If it's cheap enough and significantly better than RX Elements then I'm in.

Thanks Amicus and Spitfire! There was also an update to the Spitfire Audio plugin. Pedal Pads is an 864Mb download and sounds gorgeous. Love the ethereal piano ??

Just tried it and got the same as you guys ? Worth it with the 50 EUR Promo and Jampoints but not if you cannot use both!

Hey abacab and msmcleod, I had a CZ-101 in the 80s (my first synth) with mini keys. Wish I hadn't sold it now as it would probably be worth something. I remember the manuals were excellent; it's a shame that they don't generally do in-depth printed manuals any more. I also seem to recall a detailed MIDI manual that came with it. ? I have Arturia V6 Collection but CZ V only comes with the V7 Collection which is expensive for three extra synths so I am all over this Virtual CZ deal. Thanks for posting Larry!
