LinkedMusicians replied to the topic Big list of free synths in no particular order in the forum Soft Synths
@lamia6 Shouldn’t pretty much everything from the Usual Suspects be added to the list?
Granted, I realize that most of the people who use it are pirating, but it’s excellent — I’m told — and if you actually legitimately own the the original JP 8000 or JP 8080 ROM for use with their JE 8086.

LinkedMusicians replied to the topic UVI Falcon Extended Bundle $199 – 80% Off +Loyalty Cash +FREE Plugin in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
@lamia6 I own several UVI libraries and don’t love the UVI Workstation GUI, so when I’ve seen Falcon users — including our own @fleer — posting about how much they love Falcon, it definitely piques my interest. With NI’s insolvency, this is an especially good time for UVI/Image-Line sales and crossgrades.

Me too, @lamia6, for me they always been a $99 plugin no matter how old it is and how they call the sale. And having in mind that Spire 2 will arguably never happen, there’s no need to go lower.

Is $76 the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the beloved Spire synth? @lamia6, I know Spire is on your wish list. Is that the best price you’ve seen?
