N/Mind, double post...

BY the way, I haven't used the samples I got... it's so much stuff that you really need something like XO or Atlas, just something to have in mind... or maybe other people have other useful ways of handling so many samples

Yes. I didn’t have a firsthand experience of this, but IIRC it happened because of an error around BF 2018, when the public sale price was $39. The developer had set up a code that would allow past purchasers of All The Samples to repurchase for $9 and so pick up the more recent additions. But there were no restrictions on the code and anyone could use it. That’s unlikely to happen again. On the other hand, there were unique codes for past purchasers to pick up the full set for $13 around BF 2019, and they were not locked to accounts, and indeed customers were encouraged to give away codes they didn’t need, so if you got one from someone you could use it.

thanks for the context, I had no idea

Can confirm the synth samples come as straight WAVs also with .ADG files for Ableton Live, .NKI files for Kontakt (I have v5 full and they load fine), .EXS files for Logic etc, .SXT for Reason NN-XT and .SFZ files for Sforzando/Sonar. Pretty impressive.
Loaded up a few of the Soviet Synths in Kontakt and it all works.

highlight patches so far - there's a patch in the MS10 Leads folder named "Partial Euro" and it's beautifully biting (reacts especially well to pitch bend) plus a couple of pad patches in Modular Creations/Modular Instruments called "Jupiter 88 on Sunset" and "Nostalgic with John Cusack" that layer wonderfully. I feel there's a lot of mileage in here and I think it'll play very nicely with patch libraries I have from Karanyi and JRR Sounds.

He may have worked on the Kontakt file structure, because it was a mess back in 2018. I had to find the right folder for each synth, it was a bit of a pain.

well, they just did it again at the end of January 2020, codes are still valid today, even if not for the very bargan prices of 13$ or 9$, but nice prices nevertheless (see my previous posts for links and codes). And yes, they encouraged people to share the codes, that's why I posted them here today

Yeah that was a great deal. And the company did encourage sharing the discount code like you said. I got all the samples for $13 last year. Still use them a lot.

Just got the latest sales email from JRRshop. iZotope must be prepping the next Neutron and Ozone because the new upgrade prices are the lowest I've seen.

sure hope it's worth it :/
i find myself not using it nearly as much as i thought i would. I pretty much only use ozone MB imager, and Neutron MB transient designer, almost nothing else.

I hear you! Try ADSR Sample Manager. Runs as a plugin inside your DAW. It's free and very powerful. Runs a scan on your drive and detects, categorises - then you can sort custom list searches, ie: browse all snares or kicks or whatever. Definitely easier than diving deep into your hard drive folders. Then you can drag and drop into the project or jump to the drive folder and drag it in - or use the plugin itself as a sampler in your sequencer.

I hear you bro! I really like the dynamic EQ and a couple of the multi-band tools in Neutron, and that's it. The crossovers in the Imager are not transparent enough for me Ozone limiter is far outclassed by Pro-L 2.

I think i'll wait and upgrade to Ozone 15 / Neutron 7 bundle in 2025, or maybe 2024?

have you found an alternative multiband imager?

Hi Uncle E, what does "price as configured" mean? I am seeing select boxes against the products included in this bundle at the above link. I tried to select only a couple and then added to the cart, but I don't see any difference. Could you please clarify?

Why use a multiband when you can use TDR Nova in DIFF mode? No crossovers needed.

Ive been using Loopcloud for the last year and its pretty amazing. Also free it has a vst that you run in your daw which allows it to sync tempo. In Cubase I can set the key of the project I'm working on and then you can set Loopcloud to playback all samples in the key you want. When you find a sample that works you can drag it to your project, time stretched and tuned. No purchases are needed to use it

any different to running TDR nova as opposed to Pro-MB or Pro-Q3?
I like iZotope's imager because it has "prevent anti-phase" and because it compensates gain loss
