With minor variations, the same reasons that I ordered it. Same price as 32lives, an easy way to host Philharmonik in DP 8. The promise of 'new stuff' is icing on the cake.bayswater wrote:I pre-ordered. I can't do the fix to jbridge required to get some of the IKM instruments to work (IIRC, you need a 64 bit VST Mac host other than DP to do it?). I could get 32lives, but for the same price I can get the upgrade to ST3, and IKM is the only stuff I have left that is 32 bit. I set up an inter-app link between DP and DSP-Quattro to access IKM VIs in the interim.
IKM seems to struggle with updates, and their authorization process is annoying, but I find the sounds very usable. Getting all 4 IKM VIs working properly in DP 64 bit is worth $99 to me.
If there are some useful new functions and improved samples in ST3, even better. The ads says there are lots of new things, but I didn't really understand the point of most of it.
Just because I never used all 64 colors doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy owning the Big Box of Crayolas.
