Re: Zynaptiq Wormhole

I'm surprised it's only $30 off. Adaptiverb was intro'ed at $99, and I was hoping for the same for a "novel" effect plug. Also no further discount on JRR. Not on Audio Deluxe... yet. (They have the rest of Zyn's products) Edit: Aaaaand there it pops up a few hours later on AD... no discoun...

Re: Unintentionally hilarious promo vid for (yet another) trailer library

It is silly to see a player hitting one key and head bobbing, but there is much more to building trailer music than this. These kits help you add sound fx (which I would imaging most here do with whooshes, big drum hits, or atonal orchestral fx, no? What's the difference?) but it doesn't creat melod...

Re: Coming Soon from Heavyocity

Looking forward to users responses, whether it can be used as a traditional string library as well. The $150 off for past customers only lasts until 4/13/17 (2 weeks) so no waiting for their half price sale ($549/2 = $275-150 = $125 = sweeeet!) but I suppose that's expecting far too much in the 1st ...

Re: Korg Gadget (now also for Mac)

Amazing that Korg has found a way to repackage their synths again! Even the M1 is being sold as separate products for different platforms- Mac, tablet, phone, even smaller gaming devices. Good for them. I just don't see myself buying these products again when the legacy desktop version does all that...

Any word on this? Adaptiverb was on sale for $99 when it came out, hoping this will be similar.

Last thing I heard was "Both products released Q2 2016". Could this be the BBB v2 of effects? ;)

Re: Impact Soundworks Jazz Horns

I think good horns are still a distant unicorn. I really like combining Sample modeling with Swing and Cinebrass (even some HB) but it's a decent amount of playing/programming. Impact Soundworks just mentioned on VI they are working on a stand alone product for the smart voicing, so perhaps IS will ...

I spotted an ABSURD deal on v5 + Spark 2 on KVR 2nd hand. Bought for $180... how could I not?

If I could by the Synclavier I would.

And I also wish someone would release a library or emulation based on the Waveframe!!! UVI...
