The Tom Holkenborg bundle puts the blockbuster sound of the triple-A composer into your template, with a massive and sumptuously detailed brass ensemble and hard-hitting cinematic drums. These are the sounds you've heard in Tom's own scores, from Mad Max: Fury Road and Deadpool, to Godzilla vs Kong and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Bold, loud, and expressive, these collections complement each other beautifully with a sonic vision that is unique to Tom Holkenborg. Includes Tom Holkenborg's Brass (formerly JXL Brass) and Tom Holkenborg's Percussion. FULL-CONTACT SALE ends on Aug 24, 2022 599 Euros (regular bundle price 849 Euros) https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/bundles/tom-holkenborg-bundle

There are still regular sales at 25$ or lower, but I don’t bite anymore. In the past, I used a lot of times the 25$ voucher to lower an item on sale for 50$. Same prices now, but perception is different.

I think they might be pointing at one of the good places. I felt no hurry anymore to buy any of their plugins since that subscription is available and barely bought anything since then because of that.

I agree with you when we could subscribe and cancel PAForever29 at will. Now, having to stay subscribed forever at 29$ a month to get the 1$ voucher every month is expensive.

It equals a subscription to 372$ a year for getting 12 plugins. At that price, it’s better to get their subscription to use all their plugins all year long, then get a cashback voucher to buy some of them. Don’t count me on either of them.

But seriously, I’m interested to know too when an upgrade sale will be available.

I’ll ask my fortune teller and will let you know if anything comes out of it.

Yes, it’s working inside Unify.

Does BBCSO Pro can be working with 16 gb of ram and a 5400 or 7200 rpm drive?

Those are the 2 free updates coming up for those that bought MPS 5 or the Everything bundle revently.

They surely are not the same, offering them twice in a same bundle would be quite lame… How are the Solo Strings? And is it really worth it to upgrade from BBCSO Core to Pro?

I already have EDNA Earth in the Virtuoso bundle, so for 336$, I could get the upgrade from BBCSO Core to Pro and Solo Strings. The upgrade from BBCSO Core to Pro alone is 330$ right now… Decisions, decisions…

I tried. The price goes from 199$ for the bundle to 249$ for Riff Generation alone....

The original Riff Generation is not on sale by itself? How are we supposed to buy it if we already have Outside In Edition?

The upgrade price should be available to you at Plugin Boutique, I guess? They have it also listed there: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/93-Music-Theory-Tools/9369-InstaChord-2-Upgrade-from-InstaChord?nosto=manufacturerpage-nosto-1

W.A Production have released InstaChord 2 featuring an array of upgrades. It’s available at the intro price of $26.70, increasing to $89.00 after the promotion. There’s also an upgrade option from version 1, available for only $15.00. We believe that creative expression should be simple, intuitive, and inspiring. When you’re making music, you need the right chords to set the tone and Instachord 2 delivers exactly what you called for… and fast! Having been blown away with the reception to the original Instachord that W.A W.A Production couldn’t resist developing that concept into a fully-fledged chord creator and mini-sequencer. Simple enough to be used by anyone, but with the power to make professional music, this dynamic MIDI processing plugin is the chord creation and sequencer tool that will take your music to the next level. Whether you’re a songwriter or producer, this ideas engine will help you speed up your workflow and creation process. Find the best progression and apply a single pattern to play all of them. Easily master some of the hardest chords, in any musical key and combination of notes and different voicings. Use this plugin to generate chord shapes, learn tricky harmonics and share your creations. NEW Pattern Editor After releasing Instachord, an oft-requested update was to gain more control over strums and chord playback. W.A Production took that note and ran with it, creating a brand new interface window, the Pattern Editor. Here you’ll create your own patterns and sequences, dragging notes around in the same way as your DAW. Produce soaring synth arpeggios, pounding piano chords, or delicate guitar riffs. You get full management over time signature, play mode, and velocity with creative editing controls for strum programming. NEW AI Generation Adapted from their popular Instacomposer plugin, this generative button will take the existing scale and spawn brand-new riffs based on complex algorithms and a touch of randomization. Always musical and inspirational, these new ideas can be tweaked in the same way as your own patterns so that they fit perfectly into your song. NEW Hold Modes Compared to the original Instachord, this new version has many more playback options for fretting and picking notes. 5 in total, covering different behavior for holding notes and toggling chords. Whatever the instrument you’re playing, there will be an authentic playback mode to suit. NEW Custom Chords Edit existing chords or create your own by selecting intervals between notes to make custom chords. Alternatively, play in notes with your MIDI keyboard to help Instachord 2 learn your favorite chord shapes. With over 60 chord shapes to choose from, you can explore inversions, voicings, augmentations, and extensions like never before, making your music sound more interesting and compelling. Choose your own chords from the extensive selection, or hit the Generator button to ask Instachord 2 for fascinating inspiration. Set up to 24 different chords and switch between them using the chord keys. Transpose the current chords to any other key you desire with a couple of clicks. There are ways to play chords and picks than ever before, now all fully customizable in the Pattern Editor. For example, a key can be assigned to strum the top 3 notes of the chord and another to play a riff on the other 3 notes. You can also play individual notes of the chord separately. So it’s possible to manually arpeggiate or strum chords. Newly integrated into the main playback keys, action keys can be set to transpose by octave or semitone, providing an easy way to move chords away whilst playing live. Instachord 2 is highly customizable and users can change many aspects to match their needs. Select your own UI size, type of playback, key configuration, and position. You can even lock the Chord and Action keys so that they don’t change whilst you experiment with more presets and settings. Although Instachord 2 allows to program chords and riffs with simplicity, it’s even easier to use the preset system to take care of things. You’ll never be stuck for ideas with loads of carefully designed presets for both chord sequences and patterns. Suitable for keys, guitars, synths, and many other types of instruments, these presets make ideal jumping-off points for your next song. InstaChord 2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX). https://www.waproduction.com/plugins/view/instachord-2

So you still have for 4 years ahead that you paid on a DAW you will probably not use?

From gear space...... Fender makes Custom shop guitars for Pros, Mexican Strats for Working musicians and Squier strats for beginners. Studio One will always be our flagship application for professionals. Sure, we may utilize the technology to create new things for entry level recordists, kind of like Apple did with Garageband. But we have a lot of years invested in Studio One and we are just getting warmed up. Studio tuned.... Rick Naqvi VP of Sales, PreSonus

Oh my! What about all your Toontrack midi packs? They are gathering dust

CEO are politicians, so what he may means is that they want the easier DAW on the market, one that even the astronauts could use on the moon. Studio One, the easiest DAW on the planet... and beyond.
