I guess having keyscape makes it obaolete though?

For me nothing sample based can beat Pianoteq 6 variations in sound and playability anymore.
Ravenscroft is excellent no doubt but the future is Pianoteq.

I got that when it was last on sale thinking I could pick the piano sets I wanted. But they only gave me a choice from the ones I wasn't really interested in. Now I'm just waiting for a sale on the other sets. Though I actually like a couple of the freebies...

I love Keyscape for its electric keys selection but the acoustic grand, a Yamaha C7, is not up there.

I was pretty impressed by the demo video of Jacob Collier doing an impromptu session at the Spectrasonics studio.

Then again, Collier is such a wizard he could help sell any instrument he picked up.

Noticed that Audio Deluxe and JRR Shop are selling Geist 2 for what works out to be around £60 with the 50% off and in-cart voucher (Plugin Boutique are currently selling it for £159 for comparison) but sale ends on 28/01.

Given that I have Battery, Live's Drum Racks, several Kontakt instruments with similar drum sequencing techniques, and can technically create scenes and clips using these in Live, does Geist 2 add that much that to the workflow and possibilities that I couldn't do already with what I have (I know this is approaching apostacy here but trying to combat GAS as NY resolution)?

It is not on sale very often, is it? I would be jumping on this if I hadn't just bought the Hammersmith Pro. I need this like a need a hole in my head. Or like SoundsbyLaura needs more ethnic winds....

Augh! Have to think about this....

VI Labs did a Black Friday sale of 30% off Ravenscroft 275 but this 50% off sale beats that. If you’re interested in it at all you probably won’t see a much better price

I recommend reading a bit on the fxpansion geist2 forum first.
It seems the product has been somewhat neglected in terms of updates and bug fixes since the fusion of companies.
That being said, there has been a recent "public beta" update release 2 weeks ago.

I am a Geist2 user myself, and am still undecided whether to keep getting into it or change elsewhere.

Phrase the question differently: is there anything you desparately want to do with your current setup that does not work, but Geist2 will definitely enable you to do that?

E-mail from JRR mentioned sales on Tone2 but I haven't seen anything. Ideas?

Best Service is having a 1-day sale for several items. Yesterday was Eduardo Tailoronte (sp?). Today is Chris Hein. JRR is following Best Service's schedule. So Sunday, I think is Tone 2. So you just have to wait a day or so.

I'm lusting after the Scheps omni channel. $43.61 with FORUM code on JRR shop seems to be the best price?

edit - $41.16 on Everyplugin...

The Ravenscroft piano is really an amazing piano. The half-price deal is already really great, and on top of that, there's a 20$ credit added to use in the Audio Plugin Deals shop. For me, that put this deal in no-brainer territory.

I read somewhere that Everyplugin.com has it around 37$ with the current Waves code applied.
