Why would I need a wink for that? I already have purchased the product, If you didn't happen to recognize. I find my comment much more useful for the potential buyer, than one date.

I personally appreciate responses like that. And you did indeed answer his question. they didn't really put any dates on their site, or at least not on the Xosphere 2 product pageHarry_HH wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:06 pmWhy would I need a wink for that?

Did anybody actually buy Pigments from Reverb? Is it really a download/digital/serial-by-email delivery or is it a physical shipment? I have to provide a US shipping address even though I'm not in the US and I would appreciate if my order wasn't develivered to some random McDonald's in Portland

I commented the wink towards me, who already has the product.

Also in the UK with an interesting US address. They have now offered me a further 10% off. Tempted. Will it give me anything over the Serum, Massive, Synthmaster, Diva, VPS avenger combo?

I think the wink to you was in response to your long response to the original question which did not answer the question.Harry_HH wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2019 1:56 pmSure did you.testman3thousand wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:44 pmI personally appreciate responses like that.

While your response did not answer the question, I appreciated it anyway.

One could imagine, that if someone bothers using his/her valuable time, to evaluate product, the first reaction would be in any case,
"great to get the user-comment",
not "f_ck you, I (!) know the correct answer to the question".
Especially when the developer was hiding the date.

Thanks for taking the time to post this and I appreciate your perspective which makes sense to me.Harry_HH wrote: Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:39 amBut let me contribute the discurse with some user-opinions.
Although I'm in generally most critical towards "cinematic" libraries/romplers, I purchased this one, because of I happened to have rewards for the gif certificate, and I may need sometimes these kind of sounds.
I must say that that my preconceptions have proved, so far, to be correct.
Most of the huge 15 GB presets are overproduced, too "atmospheric" stuff to my taste. There are obviously nice samples, but to get those, you have to drill down to a simple core preset, dress down all effects, and rebuilt the sound.
But this is me. I appreciate more a very well sampled, original core sound, than huge, overproduced, saturared fullfrequency pad.
The Xosphere 2 presets resembles too much each other, to my taste.
In addition, some spesific first impression remarks:
1. The default volume is set way too loud in every preset. The first thing you have to do, is to lower the Kontakt or your DAW fader. The
2. The preset filter doesn't work as it should: e. g. if I set the multi preset filter, and go to the main page, and try to browse the filtered set of presets using the arrows (forward/backward), the browser looses the filter.
Can the browser/filter be that stupid, or have I missed something?
3. Regarding the huge 15 GB library, the lack of percussive sounds is disturbing. Most of the preset "percussive" are just the same cinematic jam.
OK. Those who know me, are used to my critical approach.
To be fair, I'm first to admit, that the above are the first 1 day impressions, and I may have (most likely have) missed something, and/or will change my opinion in some areas.
And there are a lot of good in this product, too, obviously.
The UI is well structured. The samples load relatively quick, in ny power desktop, anyway. The product is rather versatile, and there are a lot of effect presets. The effects may not be very fancy, if you are used to the latests effect-offering of some top developers.
You can't import your own samples, which may be the worst functional defect.
If you need set of rich, atmospheric sounds to your portfolio, this product may be a good choise, with the present price.
On the other hand Im critical towards these libraries, and recommend to look "under the hood", to the core samples undressed of effects, modulation, or morphing. I enjoy e. g. the old Alchemy sound libraries, which I own almost all, and most the EW Silk instrument-category libraries, where the sounds "mean" something. Then you can color/dress the original sound, but first it has to be most beautiful "naked".
It does sum up a lot of the issues with these sort of programs. When I see 2,000 presets, 13GB of samples etc I start to wonder if it's yet another quantity over quality library!
I wonder how many people are paying $350 for this!
When NI released Straylight at $149 there was a lot of moaning on the thread but the focus and quality of that seems way ahead of this. I can see why they have discounted it so heavily.
Would someone please recommend something similar to this which they feel is superior and lists at $150 or less. Thanks
