This looks great. Side note, AFAIK, Expressive E has not released Pigments patches. It’s not listed under their Expressive Suite at least – did I miss something?

You are right Steven!  This is what happens when you own way too many synths…  It was the Phaseplant sets that I bought.

Guitar is my main instrument, so my piano impressions are gonna be worth… less?  If you have any of the UJAM pianos, it has the five “Character” choices on the performance page, which I assume are the available sample sets.  You need to mute the Finisher effects to hear them “raw”. As with all UJAM instruments, a lot of the “sound” from p…Read More

Heads up if you bought the “UJAM complete” during the BF sale-  The fine print on the UJAM site says you are entitled to all new releases for the 30 days following purchase. Yay for me, I get this free 🙂

This is on sale again (or still?) on Tracktion for what is (I believe) the release price of about $89 and change.  Same discount at JRR with “group” (@ $75)

IF you have an MPE controller– Expressive E just released their 250 patch set for Kontrast for $36 Intro, regular $59.  If you buy Kontrast from them for $89.40, you get the patches b…Read More

Great deal.  I got the Charango a while back and it is certainly worth the $9 by itself.

Is their Session Horns the same that comes with Komplete?

The interface looks the same to me.  I have it in the Komplete bundle but only installed the “Pro” version.  Also, on the e-Instruments info page they say that it was developed in partnership with NI.  I know some other partners like Audio Im…Read More

Worth it!  I paid about $20 for it last year and if you like open world RPGs, you will probably like this one.  Folks should snap this one up even if you don’t have time to play it now.

If you already own these, this is a real gift.  I am not a big fan of the GUI, but this free update adds a lot of functionality, so thank you Sonokinetic.

… @bluescat — if you can DM me your referral links and codes for SoundPaint, 8Dio, United Plugins, and Melda,  …

No way Peter! Besides, I already have more plugs than I will ever use.  Thanks for keeping the lights on 🙂

They are both great bundles and it really boils down to which added features look more interesting to you.  To take the devil’s side of Peter’s argument for NI-  Everything I ever bought from Arturia worked great for me from day one. Native released Kontakt 7 three years ago with many bugs that they never got fixed until they released version 8 t…Read More

Thanks @Fleer.  I kind figured that is how they would handle it.  I decided to go ahead with the bundle this time after I counted up what I had and didn’t have.  With Ujam I just sat out the year (except for a Beat title to get version 3 early in the year) and got caught up for $66 (JRR Shop), which I thought was a good deal.  These companies are…Read More

Sale extended to Jan 5.  Edit in OP.

Gifted and generous developer.  Wonderful 🙂

Just in case anyone else was on the fence, I just got a reply from UJAM (below).  Sounds good to me 🙂

Hi Brian  ,

Thanks for checking — great question. The Music Creation Suite (formerly “Full Bundle”) gives you a permanent license for every UJAM plugin that exists at the exact date you purchase the Suite — it’s effectively a snapshot of our…

Did they add a tier to their upgrade paths? There’s one for $79 for owners of 40+ plugins. I don’t remember seeing that a year ago.

It has been available at $99 because I got it about a year ago.  I have not purchased any UJAM releases this year so it may be worth it for me to get the “catch up” agai…Read More
