I am on VC9, FXC2, Pigments, some freebies. It shows 29 on the product page. Won't buy, however.

I really dig those Augmented instruments, but I'll wait on V Collection X.

NVM, last payment of V9 was still pending. Done and purchased some AugBrass.

Is there a link for the Cinematic Trio? I am curious to see what my price would be.

Same for me. $29 for trio and $29 for brass.

[user905133]

@telecode 101 Even signed in, that link is showing me $74.97 ( full price at 3  X $24.99).  Fortunately, I had already seen the link @ralfrobert posted for $29.00.

Hmmm.  I've got multiple brass libraries.
I guess the question I've got to answer is:

Am I horney enough or not?







I'll get my coat (and ponder this later)...

How do these show up?
As an instrument update or ?

I don't have these banks, but I've normally found and downloaded my banks for Arturia instruments in-app using the "Store" browser in Analog Lab V. If you own them they should show up in the "owned" category, from where you can install them. Once the sound banks have been installed they should show up in the instrument, as well as Analog Lab.

I'm pretty sure they can be found on the website somewhere, but I've never done it that way. Others may know how to do that.

Strangely, when logged in, mine is showing $69 (instead off $99 list) but when adding to cart I’m getting another $40 off resulting in the $29 offer in cart.

Sounds pretty good.  The other two "Augmented" do eat a bunch of my CPU though.

I have the Augmented STRINGS and VOICES, and this one sounds good. I am really tempted by the $29 offer!

Also am not surprised by the CPU comment. I have Pigments, and that has gotten a bit of a reputation as being heavy on resources. The Augmented series instruments appear to have taken a lot of the Pigments synth engine under the hood, once you look into the advanced mode.

With 4 layers, you should pay attention to how much processing is going on in a preset, especially if you are not running a strong recent model CPU. Just playing back samples is not CPU intensive, but heavy synthesis and effects will eat your CPU.

Found Augmented Strings to be a bit of a resource hog on my core i5, 16GB Ram SSD system. Augmented Brass etc the same I assume?

It showed $29 for me but not sure if I would use it

Same synth engine, so I would assume so. Try the free demo ...

With all of their other patch sets, when you download them in Analog Lab, they offer a handful of presets that you can load to demo.  With these three, when you download the bank none of the presets are playable.
