how good is Sonik Synth 2? What are your opinions on sound quality and the features of the workstation?

I love SS2. Even better than Sampletank. It is an interesting catalog of analog gear, plus there are a ton of great inspirational sounds and loops.

Great plug. HOWEVER, the 32 bit thing is a non-starter for me now. I own the entire line of IK Sampletank instruments, and I haven't used any of them since going to 64 bit on Cubase. I'm keeping my studio bridge-free. And just about every other major piece of gear that I own is now x64. Except Sampletank. And CSR. I can't wait for IK to get back in the game.

Cheers

Sampletank + Jbridge + Studio1 is not working on my machine. I wish they release proper x64 version of this plugin as it's the only plugin for me that does not seem to like Jbridge.

Does someone know if the main Sequel library can be used in Cubase too?

Yes.

Thanks Standalone, so this actually could be a good deal, for Cubase users like me, since the loops are all tagged and so are really handy to use with the Media bay search function

Has Native Instruments's 50% off sale on FM8, Massive, and Razor been mentioned?

Oh, and I really hope that this isn't the only Summer deal that NI will be offering. I already have to of the three products listed above, and I don't have any need for the third.

hehehehe

well.. perhaps they are going to break it into groups of 3 and sell them this way throughout summer? No idea just a guess..

I'm hoping to get a half off deal on Komplete 9 around this time next year however. Expecting it to have Razor already in it as well as FM9 and Massive2. Come on NI!

Great overall value. The strengths are in the pads, strings, basses and drums and chromatic percussion. The elements folders are extensive collections of raw waveforms which may be very useful to some but less so for others. I consider it a no-brainer especially with the esoundz inclusion of 2 additional sampletank expansions/retanks. - Scotty

Contact the Jbridge support ,they helped me get it working in Cubase. I had lots of problems at first

AAS have a summer sale on:

http://www.applied-acoustics.com/

You can even get any instrument for $89, see http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4962966#496296 6

New release (at least for me) from PSPaudioware

PSP BussPressor at an introductory price $79 ($20 off) until June 30

http://www.pspaudioware.com/

Let us know any details that might be useful for others. I'll get it over to our support guys, post it on our forum, etc. If you have a contact that's savvy about bridging our products over there, and it is cool with them, let me know their contact information. Thanks!

Im tempted by Chromaphone, downloaded the demo and trying it out, Im trying not to buy anymore synths but this is a tempting deal. Also Tassman 4 at $89 is a bargain, though I already own it.
