Wow, sounds like a Friday-afternoon chair and I don't blame you for thinking that way at all. You're every bit entitled to be an unhappy customer. 30,000+ hours sat in mine, many days of 10+ hours sitting and genuinely no issues at all with it, including with the lumbar support. The best compliment I can pay is that I just don't think about it anymore - it just does the job, so I can get on with mine. Other than when I first got it, I genuinely can't remember ever having to adjust anything on it - in 12 years. I get that we're all different and sometimes quality control lets a crap one through so not trying to diminish your experience in any way, this is just how it's played out for me. Maybe I've been lucky and you've been unlucky, with typical experience somewhere in the middle.

I had serious back issues back in 2012. I had tried a bunch of chairs at all price points up to the aresline x-ten (the worst chair I ever tried for my back). None helped. I bought a herman miller aeron in size c/large (I'm 6' 2") and I've sat in that for approx 8 hours a day for the 12 years since. My back issues never came back and the chair is still like new. Rock solid investment all ways around.

fwiw, it's showing the same price to crossgrade from Halion 6 or 7 to Absolute 6 for me at £297.

yeah, I should add that I'm not interested in the sample-only side - but the 8-op FM, granular, spectral and wavetable engines plus the midi/FX/modulation options are interesting at this price level.

Have to say, I'm extremely happy with my purchase of Halion for £106 as competitive crossgrade - well worth it for me.

I feel sure that when I looked at Halion 7 full the other day it didn't have additional discount for competitive crossgrades (falcon / omni / kontakt / komplete) and today it does, with an additional 29% off for me (£106 inc VAT vs £148.50 without)

Given the price, I take it this was part of JRR's 26th birthday offers, so maybe it was just a limited time/volume deal?

I do the same thing here in the UK.

quick count is around 360

Brilliant for the money imo. I have waverazor already, but I like the single page UI and easy to access audio-rate functions of this. It sounds good and does a decent job of VA beyond the expected sharper digital stuff. Couldn't justify it previously given having WR, but this was an easy insta-buy.

It's that time again for roland cloud: Ultimate @ $199 for 12 months and keep 2 (legendary / aira / srx - not galaxias or zenology) or Pro @ $99 for 12 months and keep 1 VAT is added where appropriate. (so £194 for UK) https://www.roland.com/cloud/promos/play4life The blurb

and a reminder that for people in the UK and possibly elsewhere, you can get free, legal access to beat magazine (and others like sound on sound, computer music, future music) by joining your local library (which you should be able to do online) any using libbyapp.com.

Do you not grasp the difference between the "name of the product" and the description?

The name of the product is literally just "RG": https://www.robpapen.com/rg.html

I had explorer 4 but sold that some time back. Since then I've added some plugins back when there has been a solid offer: sound design x bundle (punch 2 / blade 2 / blue 2) - punch 2 is one of my favourite drum plugins, it doesn't get the love it deserves, and I've always liked the more unusual additive sounds in blade. Blue 2 is nice enough, but I have better tools for FM. Go2 - nice little synth for the price sound design x counts as 2 products, so with RG I'm now up to the max discount of having 4 products.
