Yes I tried it the other day but no joy. I emailed them and they said it was already discounted enough. Fair nough!

Good to see you back Larry!

You bet! Had us worried there for a while. Welcome back Larry ??

Yes I noticed that with the Juno 106 and it does sound fantastic! The Cloud memberships comparison page doesn't show any change in what's included for Core membership so I think it will go back to locked on 31st August just like the 808. I am also trying not to listen to it too much Then again there are a few nice sounding Juno 106 patches in the Zenology Preset Legends bank albeit without the nice Juno UI. The 4 new banks have some pretty good sounding patches in them by the way.

Yes,I guess so. I thought it unusual as other companies who have items on sale don't usually let you use the discounted vouchers from APD but worth the risk. No worries as I will definitely use it at some point based on how much I am enjoying Cinematic Keys.

I emailed SampleLogic and their reply was along the lines of... "It's already deeply discounted and the coupon was not supposed to work. That loophole has now been fixed".

Thanks Brian. Oh well, I hope I can find a use for the voucher in future. I will email SampleLogic though to see if there's anything that they can do.

Just tried the same and it said "Sorry, this coupon is not applicable to the products: ASSAULT for Kontakt Player." Maybe they have stopped it working?

Thanks for the heads up Vernon. I find with Cloud Manager that it always fails to download anything on first attempt with a network error. However if I ignore that a try again it usually works fine. Haven't tried it yet today though.

Link HERE. N.B This is Kontakt Player compatible so you don't need full Kontakt. ASSAULT is a massive suite of over 850 bone-crushing instruments and multis that transform sound design into superior cinematic percussive instruments. For more details see the link above. Reduced from $299.99 to $50

I am also impressed with the sounds and effects. Some of those pads are exquisite. The fx plugin also has it's own presets and some very nice ones included. This synth is a beast! I also like that it uses a serial for authorisation. I notice that there are Starter and Tutorial banks and a User Guide which I'm sure will come in handy. Their YouTube channel also has plenty of useful content and quite a few Rapid tutorials in Ruta's channel. How is the Trance pack? I couldn't decide on an expansion although Synthwave/Tropical Delight would be more my thing. The sale is still on so I might go back and get one of these. Useful to see the Roadmap and that rating/favorites is planned in the next version which I missed in the current version.

Great idea! With John behind it I firmly believe the sky literally IS the limit!

That's a pity. Thanks for the response though. I have given up with MF/GC as it's more trouble than it's worth if you are in the UK. I'm sure the Dune 3 demo will convince you abacab! Must give those others a try (Repro, Zebra 2 and Beatzille). I also have and like their other freebies. Spire is another one that John Lehmkuhl keeps mentioning so may be worth an audition. I also have Pigments 2 which is great and I understand that JL is working on a Unify library for it.

That's weird Matthew. I mean I paid the VAT but I'm in the UK so it's expected but there seems to be a number of similar issues raised in the Rapid KVR forum from folk who are not usually expected to pay VAT. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/search.php?keywords=vat&t=470957&sf=msgonly

Worth watching some of the recent (last couple of months) Livestreams Mesh. John's way of demoing it just gets you hooked. Cloud City is also a great addon library also from their website.

It's still available as of now (UK noon 17th August) Fleer.

Same here. It seems the full synth has a lot more content than the demo (which itself was very impressive) ?. I will maybe wait for BF to pick up a few of the expansions.

Antares Autotune has been on Codemeter for a while and it has caused zero problems for me. They have also just migrated the AVOX suite across to Codemeter which was great timing for me as it also allows 2 installs - one for my existing PC and one for my new one while I migrate to it. Since Avenger is likely to be on a better deal nearer to BF I will wait for that one (although the demo is very impressive). I did pick up Rapid though as I think it's a major contender. I am now trying to focus on "big hitter" synths so the next one is likely to be one of .... Omnisphere (also some great PluginGuru libraries for it), Falcon, Serum (maybe), Avenger, Diva etc. I can wait for the appropriate sales though - not sure if Omnisphere is ever on sale? Pad Motion also got some very positive mentions in the chat during John's latest Unify Livestream on Saturday. He also demonstrated the awesomeness of Valhalla Shimmer!

Thanks, I will await Zebra 3 with baited breath!

It's also on my list Fleer and comes highly recommended. Trying the demo. Also on my list are Parawave Rapid (sale ends tomorrow), Dune 3 (not currently on sale but the demo is stunningly good) and U-HE Diva. Any thoughts on those Fleer?

Unfortunately my days of wishing for a 6 pack are long gone

Oh is that how it works I think that's why I haven't used it yet. That and having too much fun with Unify!

Yes, that's when I bought it. Haven't used it yet though ?

Thanks TS! I have 850 points that I have been unable to use as you need 1000 before you unlock the £5 voucher. So this offer should be very useful as if I spend £15 on Toontrack I will get 150 points (10 points per pound) making my total 1000 (for £5) plus 2000 points (£10) bonus which I can then use to buy the Studio One 5 Pro upgrade... and then get another 2000 points (£10) for buying Presonus!

Thanks for checking Aidan. Yes these things are very annoying and I would have thought quite easy to fix.
