If you were ticked that Apple removed the ability to use The App Store in the desktop version of ITunes, we get it back in this new/reinstated version of iTunes. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/09/apple-itunes-with-app-store-included/ I am on the road so i cannot test it out. So hopefully you will...

Really enjoyed the sonic quality of a couple of examples off the product page. No quite as much reverb in those. Corigliano & Hochstatter pieces I thought were revealing.

Spent a portion of last night watching this remarkable documentary on the making of AJA.



Highly recommended for those of us grieving the passing of a super talented musician who was a part of the fabric of our lives. RIP Walter.

Going to look further into this. On a quick listen the vibraphone sounded pretty darn convincing and good.

Sounds really nice Ross. Off to a good start with your venture!

Andrew, if, over the next couple of days, some of SPAT's parameters should have you scratching your head, we have a few videos that go over most of the features and functions that are of immediate practical use_ Thanks Piet. Had not seen that thread. Will be pouring over that material over the next...

Blown away! Just trying stuff out and going through the manual which is thin and makes it easy to grasp the essentials so you can just dive in. Right now I am noodling with an electric piano that has the typical swish phasing thing going on (to make it a bit challenging for the plugin) and using SPA...

The site that sells Spat, FLUX will, maybe twice a year have their IRCAM plugin bundles for sale at a significant discount. I am hoping that they will be doing the same with SPAT. There is supposed to be a new version in the wings. Hopefully, they will put the present version on sale before the new ...

Spent some time this evening going over promo material for other Audiomodern libraries. If you are into the sound design, slightly aggressive textures and tastefully done glitch soundscapes, you should have a listen since their libraries are all discounted on Time & Space for a few more days. If...

With that out of the way, does anyone recall if Flux/IRCAM typically has a sale of their products including Spat during the Black Friday sales period or otherwise?

If you missed the sale on the ATOM library on the recent introductory go-around, Time and Space has it on sale until Monday, August 21st along with all the other Audiomodern sample libraries. The sale is 30% off if you are interested.

Does it really emulate the hardware version of this in all its glory and how is it in terms of CPU utilization?

EDIT:

I see there are comments on this verb over in this thread...

Based on how SoundToys has given discounted upgrades in the past, if you purchase this and you don't have any SoundToys plugs, you should get a personal offer to upgrade to SoundToys 5, the next time they have a big sale for $199. USD

Just tripped on this, Premier Sound Factory is having a sale right now on their instruments till July 31st.

One of their standout libraries can be had at a deep discount...

Waldorf, the makers of the NAVE synth for iOS have their VST version of the plugin at 50% off on a 24 hour flash sale. Their other softsynths are on sale as well: Largo Lector Vocoder PPG Wave 3.V The sale probably ends at 1am GMT, July 16th or 5pm Pacific Daylight Time, July 15th Code: 24hours http...

FabFilter has all their bundles on sale till July 30th. 25% off list price. If you have purchased FabFilter stuff before you will get additional discounts when you login to their site. Their Essentials Bundle gets you their key plugins for a reasonable entry point. Individual products are not for sa...

Must resist. Must-not-buy.

It looks very interesting and promising with a nicely curated set of atmospheres & textures. Interested to see the review, as the posted walkthrough from the developer explains the under the hood controls but no contextual audio to go with it. Anyone know how long the introductory sale is to last?

I know some people here are jonesin' for a the ISW Shakuhachi. They just announced a sale till July 18, so for a couple of weeks you can pickup your fave japanese flute. It isn't 50% off but cheaper than MSRP. http://impactsoundworks.com/products/ https://impactsoundworks.com/product/ventus-shakuhac...

I've posted this before but if you haven't seen it, you can see that IRCAM has big plans for SPAT. I don't think it is going anywhere. Immersive Audio is the next gold rush in audio production as far as development goes.

Just looking through their instruments and had completely missed this one: an Ondes Martenot. An early synth incorporating a keyboard with vibrato and a pitch sliding device from the Victor Hugo era. Boulez used it, Edgard Varese used them Ecuatorial and his well known Poèm électronique. More tempta...

As well, picked up Komplete Ultimate 11 from version 10 a couple of days ago. Hummed and hawed about doing this update since it came out. I use Reaktor a lot in the past, big Indian Classical guy so I had enough motivation to consider it. Gots lots of orchestral stuff so the symphonic libraries are ...

I stand corrected, I did the math on some of them and quickly scanned the rest. The only 60 percenter is Scriptorium. However... Many people who have a few Soniccouture libraries have a mental wishlist of others they want, hence why I mentioned the sale. It's not often you need a concert sized Mbira...

Yes, it is in Nuendo but I have not been able to confirm yet to what degree. They brought it into Nuendo 7 during a maintenance release! They have broadened the theatre/game sound component of Nuendo 8 but it just hit the streets less than a week ago. I am just beginning to find my way around it.

Soniccouture just announced a brief but decent sale on all of their products. Soniccouture-Summer-Sale-2017.jpg Many of their good titles are about 40% off, if they have been around for a year or more. Their more esoteric stuff can be had for 60% off. If you are interested in things like a big Mbira...
