UVI Halloween Sale - 31 products at $31/31€

Not even Falcon being reduced to $150 had that much of an impact on this forum, obviously they lowered it because it was overpriced before and on top of that you only get two exp with the bonus instead of 6 as they used to give away some extras when you buy them, UVI is a disaster with list prices, it never has a single stable price and one can have an idea of the fair list price.

Pics, or it didn't happen.

I don't need to. use the search on this forum. I know i had my eye on sunbox at one point and I know I was looking at $12 and debating  should I just get the bundle instead. This whole business is based on screwing around with numbers online all year long.

I'm done with romplers and this one tempted me.  Another rompler means buying more sounds to make it worthwhile which means more space and put them on a SSD with little space or existing HDDs.  

When it comes to all romplers for synth sounds I'm not sure they are worth it anymore when you have the popular VSTs and endless 3rd party presets.  

I don't buy toontrack anymore because everything is genre specific and gets expensive and uses more space.  It's their player that's a draw for me.

I have hopes physical modeling will become a thing instead of developers like EW bragging how big a library is.

Falcon is not a rompler, it is an all-round FM synth, tabla wave, granular, sampler and more.

tabla wave

Okay now I'm interested. Always need more tablas!

But ya, there are a few Falcon libaries I want, I just can't justify getting into another ecosystem. Kinda sucks they don't make a cheap / free "player" version of Falcon so people who are interested in specific boutique libraries can at least buy and use those. I really want those Modular libraries - very specific sound I'm looking for more of - but no way I'm paying for a Falcon license just to use them.

Neither is full Kontakt, Soundpaint, Sound Factory and even Sampletank.  We tend to treat them that way.

It's what always surprised me about Omnisphere. Easily one of the best synths on the market - absurdly extensive modulation options, crazy advanced synth engine, 8 layers, huge effects section, over 500 wavetables, great arpeggiator, great granular synth engine, and on and on. And then on top of that, huge sample library with almost everything instrument you can think of including tons of psychoacoustic stuff, and then possibly the largest analog synth sample database on the market.

I regularly prefer it to Zebra, Diva, Repro-1, Serum, Pigments, for patch building. (Not Bazille though - nothing beats Bazille!). But still, people consider Omnisphere mostly a rompler as well, which is bizarre.

It is.  I avoid it since I don't have space.  It is probably the only one you would ever need.

Uvi workstation is their player, but it currenty only supports samlebased libraries (?). Halionsonic is just that though, and I suspect UVI will eventually follow

The older UVI workstation you could work with your own samplers.

I went for Opal.  It's the lowest it has been.  I bought direct hoping for a coupon for the holidays to pick up Drum Replacer.  They don't seem to give coupons when you buy through a reseller...

Same here. I now exclusively buy UVI stuff directly from UVI. Yes, you may at first glance save a dollar or two when buying from a third-part vendor, but it will definitely not add anything to your potential yearly UVI loyalty voucher. Also, when buying from within Europe, VAT is always baked into the purchase price, so even if someone grumble and say that 49€ is more than 49$, you get the VAT more or less for free. Of course, VAT in Europe can otherwise be pretty extensive, often around 20–25%.
