That’s a shame to see SampleTron discontinued.  I thought it had a good set of non-traditional sounds in addition to the classics.

SampleTron has one of the best libraries of Tron and related. My only complains are that the last update messed with the gr…

Yep, sad.
Hope it’s coming back, tho.

Same for SampleTron. I was thinking about sending Dave Kerzner (who made those libraries from his collection of Trons) an email or DM to ask him if he’s going to release those libraries in another format, such as for Kontakt. He act…

Be aware you may need to talk to support.  My installation did not register the Morley collection and a few others have complained about the ToneX collections not being there.

I’ve had that problem as well.

I should also have mentioned that they got that so…Read More

Looks like if you have version 9 or below, the upgrade is $299.  If you have version 10, it’s $199.

Once the upgrade price lowers to $99, I’m all over this one.

Even then I shouldn’t.  I don’t really have any justification for this considering I’ve had it for two years and feel like I am years away from…Read More

SATB are not high on my list of guitar tones I’d like to emulate but in the video this amp sounds pretty good.

The video on the JHS site sounds a lot better than the demos on their site.

Plus you get to make fun of how Josh pronounces Alnico.

But the iLok is a turnoff for me.

Cheers @frank

I also noticed another free bank in the Analog Lab store – Minibrute Funk (32 presets – Funk, Pop, Synthwave, 80s

It’s a bit too oriented towards a lot of the sounds I didn’t like in the 80s, but the basses and the arps are useable.

Also don’t be surprised if it takes a long time to con…Read More

In 8th grade there was always someone who played “Hot Dog” by Led Zeppelin on the jukebox.  Not that I hated that one but I just thought it was weird.

I guess I was lucky that it seemed like all the songs from my youth I hated weren’t really songs my friends liked.  I mean, I really hated “Don’t You Want Me Baby”, but so did my friends.

But n…Read More

I mean why would you not buy an amp sim from a guy that worked at Marshall?

And yet somehow the Marshall based Stealer is my least favorite amp of his.

From Coldplay’s “Swallowed In the Sea”:  “And I could write a song, a hundred miles long…”

Anything in today’s pop world or anything you hear in the club is almost to easy, so here are a few suggestions outside that:

“I eat at Chez Nous” is up there.  Nobody could tell Trevor Rabin that there had to be a better line?

I’ll also nominate “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins because its hard to buy that you don’t care if you have to…Read More

New Multiphonics CV-3 features include:

Polyphony
MPE compatibility
3-operator FM oscillator
Acoustic objects oscillator
Comb and tube filters
Oscilloscope module for signal visualization
CV generators
100 new Synth and Effects patches

This contains a smaller set of components than that offered in the version available with the new Sonar, although not all of these were contained in the Sonar version.

Does the Essentials product offer a discounted upgrade path to the full product?

They released updates for a number of their Kontakt drum libraries as well such as AR Drums and Session Drums.

I have been getting download errors all morning.  Guess the servers are being hit pretty hard.

I’ll add that Abbey Road 60s is my go to for Neo Soul tracks.

Typically their holiday gifts are something new that ends up as part of the package.  For example, Flair, Irish Harp, Yanquin, Twenty Five.

I don’t remember them giving away something that a fair amount of their customers already owned.

Am I missing something, or are all of these already part of Komplete 15?
