http://www.timespace.com/index1.asp?pg=sp-atmosphere.asp

All orders are being processed and shipped Today ...


So you should expect to see it tomorrow morning!!!!

Cheer's

Woooooo thats great news clarida
I have an pre order with you so I will be up sharp tomorrow
and keeping an eagle eye out for the delivery man

BTW what service is delivering them ?

Thanks for keeping us informed ..... and thanks to Spectrasonics
and everyone for not only meeting their target date but getting
it a bit early

Ohh I've come over all excited ..... think I'll run outside and
do some cartwheels and somersaults ... yippppeeeeee

Hey Raven,

It will be sent to you via Royal Mail Special Delivery, so it will be with you B4 1pm and you'll need to sign for it!!!

If you have half as much fun with it as I have these last few month's, you can kiss goodbye to your social life

Cheers

Raven, you lucky b*st*rd!!!! I MUST get that thing! I will have to do some serious re-organizing of the budget! In the meantime, I hope you will give us sordid details about the treasures hidden within...? Try not to hurt yourself doing those cartwheels. You wouldn't want to injure your "pointing and clicking" wrist!

Scott, in Alabama, this is known as a method I have come to call (and use frequently) "creative book keeping"
Unfortunately, my creativity has seemed to dry up
atmosphere is another want on my list.
Keep us updated Raven!
And Ner0z! (lucky *&*%)

I wonder when the US merchants will receive copies?

Robert

You should check with Ilio....

But I figure they've all been sent out at the same time, so they should be there in the next few day's...

Enjoy Guys!

The first ILIO customers will be getting their copies this morning too...exciting times!

contest > who can spot the first atmosphere preset in a commercial production?

My bet will be on the "Romeo and Juliet" patch. Every beta tester used this patch in their demos...I actually had to put a restriction on it because everyone was wearing it out.

I'm curious to see who will use it first on a record....it's destined to be one of those very recognizable sounds.

Either that or "Apocalyptic Drone" That's another one that people seemed to gravitate towards.

Looking forward to you guys' comments......been too long just talking about it myself on kvr!

best,

spectrum

PS. Just for the skeptical, there's tons of material there....so it's not like Atmosphere itself will get "worn out" anytime soon, but there are definitely a couple of patches that fall into the "that sound" camp.

i'll send you my mailing address for my free copy!

It's my birthday tomorrow (15th) ......

anyone want to get me a present??????? (hint hint)

Well Crap..... I ordered mine at AudioMidi I shall call them me thinks

Eric.....

This is very Frustrating.... I called AudioMIDI and they said that they would not have your Product until the first of the MONTH?


I told them that a UK distributer had it already, and they did not beleive me at first... they thought your product was made in the UK ....

anyway they said that they were going to call Spectrasonics to find out????

I sure hope that it is not another 18 days before I get it

Just ordered it tonight - will I get it on Sat. ?

Well this sucks

here is the email that I got from AudioMidi

"Charlie,

I just spoke with Todd at Illio He said that Spectrasonic shipped to the
UK early due to customs. He said he will ship the US orders to retailers
like us on the 3rd of December. It is available from them to end users
such as yourself starting tomorrow the 15th but it would be at full
retail.

Hope this info helps."

Damn! I also ordered from audiomidi

Hey NerOz...easy....

ILIO is our distributor in the US and they have it shipping in the US already to their direct customers. I said before that the distributors would get it first, and then the dealers (AudioMIDI is a dealer). ILIO's policy is usually that they fill their direct orders first (and those guys are usually paying full price). You should call ILIO if you want it sooner, or ask them when AudioMIDI will get it.

All of that sales stuff is out of my hands....it's up to each individual distributor to decide how they distribute Atmosphere in their territory. Spectrasonics doesn't sell direct to customers or dealers, only through our distributor network.

Won't be long though...either way.

All the best,

spectrum

Diverting slightly ...

I had the card out and was about to order Atmosphere when I saw that the memory requirement for Atmosphere on a PC is 512MB -- seems like a lot!

Anyway, I have 384MB. Would I be able to use Atmosphere to any reasonable degree with 384MB? I'm not planning on increasing my RAM until I get a new box -- probably in a few months. Should I hold off on buying Atmosphere?

Thanks for any advice.

Jim

You can use it...but you'll be limited in how many you can open and how many of the large patches you can load.

You can get started with it -be good for at least a few instances, depending on which sounds you load.

I would actually recommend getting 1gb of RAM or more...not because it is necessary to run one Atmosphere, but because you will like it so much that you will want to have tons of them open at the same time! (this is pretty much what happens with everyone who tries it)

You have a Mac or Windows machine?

Windows is probably a little more forgiving on the memory management side.

Best,

spectrum

Thanks for the fast response, Spectrum.

I have a PC. My next machine will have 1GB -- or possibly 2GB. Meanwhile, it sounds like I should be able to use Atmosphere if I'm careful.

Ok, out comes the card again.

Cheers.

Jim

I am very sorry... I should have let it go. I was just hoping too much for a good thing

See that is the problem that I have as a Gearaholic is that I want what I want and I want it now!!!

I am sorry if I ruffed anyones feathers..... mostly yours Eric!

Fu$#$%% the only time I open my mouth is to switch feet


Oh well

No apologies necessary nerOz!

Hey...without Gearaholics like you, I wouldn't have a business!

It's quite a nice feeling to have worked so hard on something for a very long time, and then have people like you so stoked to get it....that kind of enthusiasm makes it all worth it!

Don't ever change!

spectrum

Just got a call from Digital Village saying they have one in stock for me..... Great, I was a but bummed that I was going to have to wait until Monday, no weekend tweaking! Is also good as I am working on the next release for my label and so I am looking forward to trying out Atmos on one of the mixes....

I have a real dilemma at the moment as I am basically only using soft synths and dsp cards these days (and a suitcase rhodes) and could do with a bit more ram that 512, unfortunately that means upgrading to XP which means that one of the best pieces of kit (my oasys card) will have to go, or be put in another machine......... I guess that i will have to take the plunge sooner or later.

Cheers

Hm, sometimes I wonder about product pricing:

Atmosphere is
$399 at Spectrasonics
$369 at AudioMIDI

well... I just compared it with Stylus pricing because I recently bought it at my local dealer

$299 at Spectrasonics
$279 at AudioMIDI
$210 in Switzerland

I'm interested to know about prices in Europe specially in south Germany... Putte?

Hi Pepe,

I don't know about price's in other country's, but Atmos is £225 and Stylus is £159 here in the UK.
You can also get the Euro pricing from our website...
