The original microKEY 61 came with a very nice collection of plugins. I believe the current microKEY2 only comes with M1 LE.

does anyone know if the Tonal Balence thing works with Neutron 3 elements? I have Ozone 9 Advanced (I won it) so in theory I have Tonal Balance. I say in theory because it's not showing up in Cubase and I have a support request in for Izotope.

I wasn't expecting it to work with Elements but I finally had a chance to check and sure enough it doesn't. The track with Elements didn't appear as a source in Tonal Balance.

So I saw in the Bargain Only thread that Korg has released a Collection 2 SE (Second Edition - adds Triton) and the GUI is resizable (yes! old blind guy here!) and that there were some price increases AND current 'sales'. Help! Questions.

1. I feel like there was a Computer Music OR Beat Magazine giveaway of a Korg
(Maybe the M1 Le? Any clues for me?)

2. Or was it a 'freebie' if you bought a Micro Korg series hardware?
2B. Do the Nano 2 series include any free software?

3. As someone who owns ZERO of the 8 Korg software instruments, what is the cheapest way to obtain the bundle?

PS. I *might* own some ancient 32-bit Korg software synth, circa 2010 RTAS on TDM, I guess I'll try to log in? I'll update if I 'learn anything'. Thanks everyone!

UPDATE #1: Us 'old Legacy collection' users have to Migrate from korguser.net

Thus far, I have not been able to login to this old site to "migrate"

The Taktile Comes with the Korg Legacy collection

Just a heads up for any Catalina users, I bought Total Studio Max 2 and Sampletank 3 Max isn't compatible

Edit:
Can you sell off individual plugins from TSM2?
There’s a few things I’ll never use.

I decided to get the Total Studio 2 MAX. I brought the Total Studio 2 MAX Crossgrade as i have a few products already. I brought through jrrshop with group code. I have registered its showing in my account but there is no download links? Was this the case for anyone else in this sale time ?

I was also wondering why I didn't see any download links. But once I activated the serial in the IK Authorization Manager, the products were added to my account.

Will ST3 not run in Catalina for you? Or does it balk at the installer?

I have ST3 and ST4 running side by side - but this machine started with Mojave and everything IK was installed before moving to Catalina.

ah thank you for that. I discovered when I opened the Izotope Portal to download the Neutron 3 Elements that Tonal Balance has been updated so I now have it working in Cubase.

A recent upgrade means I no longer require licences for some of my Native Instruments Maschine Expansions.

Total cost new would be GBP 704, however I am offering all 16 for GBP 250.

Total installed size is just over 19GB of high quality samples and sounds.

This is a private sale, with payment by direct bank transfer or PayPal.

Usually with IK you have to add VAT after reducing it by the 30% Jam points ... so you end up with not that much of a deduction.

Exactly - once again proofed, no use for yammypoints.
Plus: the whole sale is pervert: Crossgrade for current IK owners of a product over $99.
I.e., the sale is the same for loyal clients purchased $ 300+ and owning already 90 % of the bundle, than a new client purchased one product for a sale for $ 50 (regular price 99).
The sale % should have more steps, of course, to be fair.

[Nobdi]

Doesn't even the Black 76 that was currently included in CM (or something like that ?!?) qualify for the crossgrade ?

[Examigan]

One thing you need to be aware of is IK's shitty policy of only giving you a fixed period to download your files after which you have to pay a certain amount to reinstate downloads. I think it's something like 6 months.

Wow that’s absolute garbage.
I’m never buying ANYTHING from them.

That is only the soundbanks. The effects and amps can be redownloaded at any time.

It is very frustrating though when your computer dies and you can't find the back up of those.

I back up everything to an external drive.

Agree. And those Jampoints are completely useless for those that has a high VAT. I have to pay 25% VAT and Jampoints can be "only" 30 pct. of the total amount to pay. So in reality Jampoints are useless in EU. I would rather have them to abolish Jampoints than pretend that they can be used for anything else than false advertisement.

I always end up buying IK software elsewhere. So thats why I have €239 useless Jampoints.

Sample Tank 4 SE is included in Total Studio Max 2 and plays all the Studio Max content.
