Huh. For some reason I was thinking this was an N.I.tie-in. Clearly not (yet.)

I don’t have True Strike, so. A little tempting.

OTOH, I recently acquired CinePerc and have barely dug into it. Think I’ll wait and upgrade Komplete whenever.

well, I think I found a working combination, namely the "Grandeur" and the "Heartstrings"... I did a patch of the latter that compresses all the velocity layers into the 1-70 range, more or less, extending the upper one to 127. Then had to manually tune the Grandeur to make it g...

Got it. Thanks for clarifying, makes more sense now.

I admit to being somewhat mystified by the math. Maybe I have it wrong-you paid more for an “exclusive” permanent license (only 500 to be sold, or something like that?) compared to what they are NOW selling it for? Or is the present price a yearly subscription? If it’s the former and I had purchased...

Guy-wasn’t that about what you paid for your permanent license?

Yes, I’m a fan of Greg’s work as well. This one is a head scratcher.

Man, that vibrato is metronomic.

I find uses for Passion Flute, but not so much this.

Nice balance of warmth, air and presence to my ears.

Markus, I've added a video of how I often work with XO in this thread if it's of any interest / use - https://thesoundboard.net/viewtopic.php?p=80280#p80280 This is pretty impressive. I wonder if maybe a new version of Stylus Rmx might go in this direction if it ever will see the day of light. Base...

I bought the Ronroco, the last of the Red Room Audio fiddles that I didn't already have May I ask which one that is? I picked up their Gypsy fiddle. Already had the Celtic and Bluegrass versions. They get major props for capturing the sounds and styles of the Celtic and Bluegrass fiddlers. I'm not ...

That Quantec was under consideration.

I might get those Boz pianos. Other than that, I’m left cold.
Had the AcousticSamples deal been a bit better I would have considered that, but I’m not in a hurry.

Is it me or were BF sales unspectacular this year?

I have all those and more, so it’s hard to pony up for Berlin Brass. I bought Cinebrass on the recent glitch sale, have Adventure Brass and the rest of SM.

The SM Horn is really versatile and can be made to sound quite good.

Finally remembered to try it today. Pretty good actually, intelligibility is decent, the presets provide quick and solid starting points and it's easy to tweak.

Cool, thanks!

Because they can.

Start an 80s band!

I'll say this, Larry - I haven't used VEP for about 2 years after starting to use disabled tracks. It's not perfect - there are some libraries, like Action Strikes, that add to the Cubase file size by orders of magnitude more than anything else, so I find just leaving those out, or putting them in ...

Guy-wouldn’t this make disabled tracks in Cubase usable without VEP?

Also, have you tried the Vocoder?

Yeah Guy,

It’s like “as long as you’re going to play something heartfelt and warm, don’t worry your pretty little head about how much control you have over the actual notes.”

I have a feeling this may be a one trick pony, but it seems to be a heck of a trick.

Still on 10.5. Not feeling compelled yet.

I knew nothing about this unit but it sounds great to me.
