TracingArcs Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Rigid Audio has announced it is to close down on 1st Jan 2025. http://www.rigid-audio.com/ Don't know if there will be a blow-out sale (isn't there always?). But I've got some mileage out of his stuff. And got good prices and freebies. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 That's unexpected. They have a final sale, ending December 31st. In that sale, their Everything Bundle goes for for €29.52 (regular price €1,485). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTP Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 It's a bit weird that they don't have individual products on sale anymore. I have most of the libraries I'm interested in so there's no point to buy the everything bundle. I think I'm going to buy a couple from PB which still has them separately. https://www.pluginboutique.com/manufacturers/258-Rigid-Audio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 And those that missed the one day (glitch?) sale of Kontakt GUI Maker a month ago, can yet again buy if for $5. Regular price was $69.99. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/55-Kontakt-Instrument/12139-Kontakt-GUI-Maker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The serial number appears on the FastSpring download page. I didn't receive an email with the serial number, so I copied it into a Notepad text file for backup. I was able to open the demo project instrument in Kontakt 6, 7 and 8, but got a "Kontakt version too old" error from Kontakt 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bundle is over 70 GB. There were individual downloads for each library, which was kind of a pain. I have a gigabit fiber internet connection. The downloads when into the Downloads folder on my C drive. The instruments went into my Kontakt Instruments folder on my E drive and the downloaded ZIP files went into my Rigid folder on my F backups drive. Extracting the libraries and moving them to E and moving the ZIP files to F took longer than the downloads themselves did. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 TB Thunderbolt 3 Samsung X5 samples drive was getting maxed out, so I moved the hundreds of GBs in my non-licensed Kontakt Instruments folder from D to E sometime ago. Yet another reason to use modelled VIs when possible! 😄 Edited November 3 by John Maar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krwn Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Could you list what products are included in the bundle? There's differences about what's included based on RA's site versus reseller sites which make it quite confusing Based on RA's site bundle seems to be missing Atheos and Hypernode (which resellers do list). Then again resellers do not list the latest releases (Frustum & Kontakt GUI Maker). Also resellers list plugins that became freeware recently so they are probably just lagging behind. Still would be nice to know what's included for real I've got a couple of RA products already and although not "essential" in any way they're still nice to have. Will probably bite.

Eichi Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 If you want the most complete bundle go for the Plugin Boutique Bundle. There is everything in it. Included Frustum and Kontakt GUI Maker. The bundle on ADSR is missing the Kontakt GUI Maker. And the bundle on Rigid's page is also slightly different it seams. I have a lot of Dennis' Stuff and I liked his newer releases (Interference, Groundshaker, Frustum, Grainstates, etc) very very much. Will definitely grab the PluginBoutique-bundle. Sad to see him go. Remember when it was brand new. How time flies. Farewell Rigid. All the best to you Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krwn Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Ok so at least APD has upgraded their listing. 49 products including freebies. I just bought for $20 with coupon TREAT20. Got download links + GUI Maker serial straight from APD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer turniton Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) Pointless to purchase something that is no longer going to have any type of support. No updates, no thanks I pass. One day one of those plugins could stop working. I will stick with the major ones, NI and Arturia and away from Waves Audio.
