Thanks Larry!

 I might have to jump on this. Thanks for the info.

How different is this to Z3TA+ 2 that I got with Production Suite? To be honest I have not really explored it until this morning - amazing sounds and the GUI is freaking beautiful!

Already have this...    I want a brand new Cakewalk Synth..   Or a Rapture 2.0...    But if its a brand new synth, hopefully its as groundbreaking as Rapture was...  

I just bought Xils Lab Oxium, and its nothing short of yummy!!!  

The trouble with having all of these synths is the amount of time it takes to fully learn (and hence fully appreciate) them! I have tons of synths that I have no real idea how to use and just end up using/tweaking the presets, which is great of course but sooner or later I'd love to really get down to the nitty gritty of making sounds from scratch. NI's Reaktor is a good example, there is so much you can do with that synth and so many interesting modules etc that I think I'd have to attend some kind of night school to learn it all. 

Reaktor is a lifetime committment...   I've always been on the fence with Reaktor..   For one, "if you buy Reaktor or Kontakt directly from NI, the pricing scheme stuffs Komplete down your throat," and I don't want Komplete specifically because, "you can't learn all that."  You can only learn some of them, "halfway or poorly, or focus mostly on just Reaktor and FM8 for eg."  My second problem is the way, "NI scraps and throws out their tech, and sticks you with synth of the moment, or current version you better upgrade too."   Finally, I find the NI sound overly harsh and, "happy go lucky," for lack of a better phrase..

  Other than that...  yep, I understand what you are saying..  yep, I own more gear than I am using..   oh well..   sometimes I buy softwares and I love em, sometimes they collect virtual dust, while I focus on the ones I love...    


  Edit = on second thought, fyi..   its not that I am uber materialistic or anything, its the nature of music software imho...

Sharke,




It's the same.....Zeta 2.1 comes with Production Suite...that's how I got it...

So if you're mainly an audio guy and not much into synths (Played a bit with SI Bass) would you consider this?

I'm in.

That's a real bargain at £19... and on this offer, we Brits only get stung by 31p on the 'real' currency conversion rate

This deal is too good to pass up. I bought it a couple of minutes ago. The thing that sealed the deal for me is the patch browser. I have a bunch of soft synths and almost every one of them is a huge PITA because they come with gazillions of presets and no easy, fluid way of sifting through them.
