You don’t know it. I make regular posts, but I add anger management elements that only your subconscious mind can seize.

I know, I have been treating Frank here from time to time with posts like these.

I was just kidding to Frank

Nobody like price hikes, except for their salaries. Most of the products selling since 2013 got some raised prices. Stop ranting again about the good ole days

I bought it at 49$ 2 years ago, so 20$ for all these improvements is a reasonable asking price.

If you carry 100 boxes, but 2000 order, they must wait for NI shipment. Anyone has the option to buy directly at NI to get immediate serial, but price is higher and there’s no freebies. I’d rather wait a bit but I know people are eager to get their products.

It was supposed to be free. But I prefer that they took more time to expand, add more functionalities and charge a low upgrade fee if the product is really better than what it was supposed to be for free.

They were supposed to work on a 1.5 version with a step-sequencer. They took longer and made it a new version. Looks like an easy upgrade to do, I almost regret buying XO since Atlas was not updated for a long time after it was supposed to be done.

Why an easy pass?

Not anymore. Prices of housing are up 40% in the last 2 years in the whole Grand Montreal area. Value of my house has skyrocketed, but if you sell, you have to find something else, and there’s currently a lot of offers a lot higher than the selling price.

Great library and great deal.

This guy is always ranting, so if you’re looking for reasons not to get anything, it’s a good idea to watch him.

They hired a bot instead

I feel at ease now! Can you please let us know how it sounds with the other midi packs?

I guess that with midi files, you can modify them extensively

I bought upgrade to TS3 Max yesterday. I got reset for many products, but not for Syntronik. Only for Syntronik Deluxe, so I guess it includes all the stuff from Syntronik that I will get to download all over again to get the Deluxe content. So yes, if their policy is to avoid download bandwith, it failed on that one.

Toontrack managers must be at the edge of their seat.

I’m a bit worried. It’s a new Toontrack product and we have yet to see the classic ‘Installed’ message from Bapu shortly thereafter.

With 4 payments option, makes it appealing

Are you sure it’s Canadian dollars? I am in Canada and my crossgrade price to get it is 99$ US dollars. If you do, please post a screenshot and I would contact Arturia about this.

For those buyin it as a sound expansion, best price I found is at Thomann (56$) https://www.thomannmusic.com/toontrack_ezkeys_sound_expansion.htm

Regular price for Ethera Gold Lite is 13$, so not much to get from that. Since I already have Ethera Gold 2.5 full version, I asked to get instead the Ethera Studio One 5 package that is less expensive than that and they allowed the swap.

But NI is charging in my local currency on it’s website, so I cannot change it. I changed it on T&S to pay in US dollars.

That’s what I did. T&S in US dollars, no local taxes, used some loyalty points, and got 2 freebies on top.

NI is charging ridiculously overcharged conversion fees, even when compared to the worst of them.
