Yes I have it and like it! I was surprised at the range of sounds actually many of which don't sound like an EP. The presets are arranged as Bass, Bell, Brass, Lead, Organ, Pad, Effect, Synth and Vox. I guess it shows how adaptable a modeled instrument can be.

Ah yes, that must be it. You are effectively upgrading your bundle whereas I would be completing mine for the first time. I have all of the professional series apart from CV-1 plus VS-3 which you can only get by completing your bundle (although I saw someone selling it separately on KVR a couple of weeks ago).

Was wondering the same. Mine is $74 for CV-1 and VS-3 which is what it has always been during a sale.

Still waiting for a decent deal on EZBass!

Yes indeedy, Arturia add a great deal of value with all these free updates. Here's how the number of presets have grown since he first version:

I picked up their Orchestral Bundle a while back - you can still get it in the APD Shop using rewards to get the base price. Pretty nice content and the Bravura Scoring Brass Chords & FX can be upgraded to the full version. I also picked up Celestia (most likely a recommendation from Fleer) and it's also excellent.

I also used the "Holiday Gift" link in my account yesterday to get my free gift (Humanized for me as Analog Orchestra was not available). Thanks for the tip @Doug Rintoul I received my email this morning and the code is the same as the one I used yesterday (for anyone who is curious). I'm thinking that I will buy Analog Orchestra as a thank you to AAS which will hopefully help to keep them in business a bit longer.

Thanks, that'll save some time Unifying them!

Ditto

The total bundle for me is $660. All libraries individually add up to $720 and I only have the freebies and the Gibson SG so that's only a saving of $40 on the whole bundle. There are a few new ones that I might go for but I wouldn't want everything.

Will try the demo!

Yes, it's changed so much since the first version it is almost unrecognisable! Given such a long change request list it must be tricky for John and Shayne to decide where to focus their limited time and resources. They both seem to work exhausting schedules and yet John still brings out great library content such as MM Keys (also due out on Wednesday by the looks of it).

Keep a lookout for v1.7 which should be out on Wednesday as this has some useful changes to make it easier to manage lots of Unified libraries. You can see the new features in the latest livestream (linked above). Not quite hierarchical but a step in the right direction. There's a sub-forum on the PG Forums for posting feature requests which might be a good place to start, although I'm sure that hierarchical library lists have already been requested. I'm also aware that the feature request/wish list is many pages long with just one dev to implement any change.

My thoughts exactly Larry - I started wording an email to them along those lines and then thought "why bother, they'll be $20 or free soon on APD, PB, VSTBuzz etc".

Sounds familiar ? My pleasure LJ

Yes, just discovered that also. Cannot be used on sale items. ? They also removed the $10 credit to upgrade from WS to WS pro.

Their site is slow at the moment! Glad I waited for Wavesynth Pro EDIT: No I'm not - see below.

Got it, phew. Will leave download until after the dust settles!

Got it, thanks Larry ? 12 GBP inc VAT with rewards.

I was less than impressed with Smart EQ 3 so not sure about this. Also, they don't seem to offer a lower upgrade price if you own any of their other plugins; it's still 65 Euros.

Thanks Larry! Fleer was right! Best thing I ever did, getting the Total Bundle.

I have updated the Dune 3 Unified Factory Library to include the 40 new factory patches in v3.5. Here's the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2gnfsd6zttiw3w/Unified - SA Dune 3.guru?dl=0 You just need to drag/drop the guru file onto Unify and it will update your Dune 3 Unified library. You need to own the full version of Unify and Dune 3 (updated to the latest version 3.5.1.2) to use this. Here are the names of the 40 extra patches: https://www.synapse-audio.com/dune/dune35new.txt Enjoy! (I have also sent these to John who will hopefully incorporate them into the official list on the PG website).

Sounds pretty neat @abacab I gave VIP a go a while back but just never gelled with it for some reason. Shame that it's end of life or I would have had another look.

The other biggie for me is the ease with which I can come up with killer patch combinations e.g start with a Unify patch, click and add a Hive patch, click and add a Zebra patch etc. Skippy demonstrates this a lot in his livestreams. This is probably what distinguishes it the most from any other DAW for me.

I specifically didn't mention threads as the Unify manual only states that it makes use of individual cores on each layer. https://pluginguru.net/unify/manual/doku.php?id=overview If you want really technical details on it's inner workings probably best to ask the author Shayne Dunne.
