Re: The Happy Thread Of Free

I hear you Bill. I have mixed feelings as well but I must say that Pigments is truly awesome, soundwise as well as workflow-wise.

And yes, a Kawai K5 VST would make my day, any day.

Re: Arturia Pigments 5 released

Nice update, Pigments have been my "go to" the last few months. The GUI works very nice with a multitouch 21" monitor.

Re: UAD $39 sale

I think I sold my UAD PCIe card at the exact right time. Got enough money to buy the Arturia FX Collection as well as the Eventide Anthology Collection and an SSL UC1. Been picking up the native UA versions for €22 the last few weeks. Today it was Studer time! If you buy from UA directly you get a €...

Re: SSL G3 MultiBusComp

Tried this (sort of) a while back with Studio One's splitter and 3 instances of SSL's Native Bus Compressor, but went back to Softubes 1973.

This is a lot less "fiddly" :)

I really like the looks of the SSL plugins though!

Re: Softube / Model 80 (Prophet 5 emulation)

Had a hunch they'd do this but like Jay I'm all too happy with Repro-5. Wondering what their Model 90 would be? Virus? Nord? MS2000? JD8000?

Re: Waves go subscription only (and back again)

On a side note there was an upside to this, Solid State Logic took a few of their plugins that was only available in their subscription model and made them available to buy or rent-to-own.

Re: Are You Waiting for something Interesting to show up in Dec. ?

I wasn't looking or waiting for something special but the last week I bought these: • Invigorate, Newfangled Audio • RePitch, SynchroArts • Kirchhoff EQ, Three Body Tech And they all kind of adress the same thing, for me at least. Workflow. Invigorate just "works" and is superfast to setup...

The Upright Bass, liked that one. Great little sketch tool.

Epic orchestra, the only "keeper" in there is the cornet I believe, haven't made up my mind on the rest of it.

Yes, the have really thought of everything it seems.

I ended up buying Synchron Strings Pro, great sound and the workflow with Synchron Player and Studio One is amazingly good, fast and enjoyable even!

Re: Elicenser Discontinued Jan 1 2022

So... Got myself on a spending spree. Upgraded my VI SE 1 & 2 to the Synchronized ones and I'm sort of blown away! The workflow of these libraries in Studio One with the Synchron player automatically populating the sound variations with the correct articulations is such a HUGE timesaver! Almost ...

Nice! Only bought the SE Strings 1 & 2 and 1+! What a nice treat! Been wanting those Woodwinds for ages but been too cheap about it.

Re: Cherry Audio Polymode (Polymoog) $19

I have no history with the Memorymoog whatsoever, only read about it. I got it now for $19 and it's a different beast isn't it? I really like the architecture of the signal path and the mixer "sends" from the various places in the chain makes editing it really fun. The most fun I've had fo...

Chipsynth OPS7

Famous 80s FM synth It's loud! It's brash! It's digital! It's the edgy sound of Yamaha's 6-op FM synths, now perfectly emulated by chipsynth OPS7 in a convenient plugin format! Let it take over your tracks as it took over the airwaves with a storm in 1983. Open the flood gates to a deluge of crisp ...
