Thanks Eric, I'm only looking for the base product and one voice (Solaria). Dreamtronics has that bundle for around 150 USD, which is reasonable, but not sure how skilled I'll be at making it sound realistic, even with pro version bells and whistles, so I'm more likely to buy closer to 100 USD price point that dlsite.com offers. Well, sort of offers. If you live in Japan or don't mind giving all your payment info to unknown companies.

Question:
Since all the AIR stuff is on sale atm -
I have a few things already that I would install on my laptop but haven't used any of their software after AIR had this "we kill your Windows system with our messed up installer" desaster(which as far as I can remember was because of an old included Ilok software).
Has this been fully resolved and everything is save to install now ?
(I realize that I might be years too late for this question but couldn't really find a definitive answer to that anywhere)

Im using the vst3 betas on win 11, all the AIR instruments that I own seem perfectly fine.
e.g. vacuum pro, loom 2, Hybrid 3 and the Riser. They were already activated on my ilok
so, just had to install them.

Apple silicon compatibility as well ,they all work Perfectly fine and I’ve had no problems to report as a beta tester,I wonder when they will actually release them

Does anyone have working macOS installers of AIR Music Vacuum Pro, Xpand!2 and Hybrid 3 that work on macOS Ventura, Apple Silicon, Logic Pro?

I downloaded the installers from here: https://help.pluginboutique.com/hc/en-u ... nload-Area

Surprisingly, Loom II and Vacuum Classic/Vintage work in Logic Pro (after restarting my Mac), but Vacuum Pro and Hybrid 3 fail AU validation. I could only find Hybrid 3 out of these plugins in the inMusic app installer, which actually made Hybrid 3 work as standalone, but still not able to get it to work in Logic Pro. I don't want to use Rosetta, so that's not an option. I would rather not use the AIR Music plugins that don't work.

Been using these plugins occasionally on my Windows 11 PC and the discussion above made me think about using them on my Mac mini.

tx guys !
Support and longevity aren't much of a question for what I would use it for (mainly sketching with Xpand and the Pianos on an old Win10 laptop) but I wanted to avoid having to install the whole system again just because of broken AIR installers (or to google for old workaround solutions). ... on a side not: You guys are talking about VST3 Betas - so the "normal" latest installer ist still just VST2 ?

[LoveEnigma18]

so the "normal" latest installer ist still just VST2 ?

Yes, from what I observed during my installations today. Too bad, because I would have been able to use VST3 versions with Komplete Kontrol software inside Logic Pro.

After some searching on Google, found a post in a forum suggesting to open Logic Pro in Rosetta, scan the AIR Music plugins that failed AU validation, and then reopen Logic Pro without Rosetta. It worked like a charm and I can see all my AIR Music plugins working in Logic Pro.

Sorry, we're only able to sell the two bundles.

Thank you so much.

While I have got the AIR Music plugins to work on Mac M2/Ventura/Logic Pro, I will download the latest Public Beta 2 installers for Mac as these are officially supported installers and hopefully more stable.

amazingly, Boom is the only Air plugin i still use.
I'm on Sequoia and Boom is still going strong on rosetta.
well, it's low cpu hit basic drum module that i use for quick sketches.

I'm still so pissed that Air flat-out lied about their "M1 Drumsynth 500 update" a few years ago. They admitted to me in an email that they just renamed the zip file containing the v1.00 installer to v1.1.0 and that's all they did!! un f**king believable the sheer ass-esq hubris of these people.
Then they just deleted the paper trail and that was all she wrote.

I asked if they might be able to throw me a bone and update my (at the time recently purchased) Drumsynth 500 license to the newer Drumsynth, as it in fact did not work at all on M1 machines... but they offered me 10% off the full price. you know, the Air plugins they sell for $10... utter ass-mongers.

Biggest reason I didn't like boom was that I couldn't get the vst3 version to play in time with the DAW transport. I wasn't able to demo the DS 500 (again, I guess). I was disappointed there was no
vst3 version as well.

I do have the newer Drum Synth, which is fine, pretty sure I got it as a freebie from PB.
