The Kontakt factory stuff and player are infinitely better where they overlap, plus I have a few Kontakt libs, I'm good. I do use the Miroslav stuff some, but the upgrade from ST2 to 3 isn't worth much to me.

if you have esoundz' 'infinite player' (which itself goes on sale from time to time), occasionally the same sounds go on sale as Kontakt 'Kapsules', as cheap as $10/lib. not on sale now, but keep a lookout, as afaik the orchestral kapsules are derived from the same miroslav samples....

Someone wishes to share his thoughts on Sampletron, SampleMoog and Sonik Synth 2?
Which one is worth it?

Depends or your tastes.
Samples and program libraries are decent in all three. But if you're looking at the engine itself, I would give it up to Sonik Synth 2 as the one that offers the most.
Remember that the libraries work in SampleTank 2 (and are suppose to import to SampleTank 3 also).
So if that's how you plan on using them, then the library itself is what you're shopping for and that is completely subjective.

(Along those lines, if it is the samples and programs you're wanting only, I have the install disks for TS3 with no licenses I'd be willing to sell you).

Cheers, BBFG#, that's the advice I was hoping for, as it confirms my predisposition towards Sonic Synth 2

Except the engine is the same for all 3. They are all Sampletank skins.

I have ST3 and the synth content is rather limited, so I guess adding Sonic Synth is a fine add-on ...

Yeah, I'd say Moog is the one I would pass on. I like the other two.

Just $9.99 USD gets you one of the best compression/saturation plugs around. Like a lot of KVRers, I've got a bunch of the latest saturation plugs, but Nomad's ATB (been around for awhile now) is still my go-to for taking the digital edge off my tracks.

There are times when I just wonder "Why is this so inexpensive"? Is it just because it is an older (vintage?

) plugin?

That's cool. Used to run a free 8 track version on my Powerbook 180.

What's up with all the goddam chat in the bargains NO CHAT thread?

This is chit-chat, why don't you update your original posting instead of making a new chat posting.

Chit for chat

Some weird sense of loyalty has spawned the necessary replies to them in the 'no chat section'.
Fleer was more on point. Others, not so much.
e.g.

Shipping, duties, taxes and the UPS/Fedex idiot (broker) tax make it probably not much better than Uncle E's price.

no tax for me at @jrrshop.

Even though the bargain was not JRR this time. People felt the need to rally for the higher price.
