Rhodes V-Pan
Looks interesting. Free until end of 2023. Applies the typical piano panning to other things.

Jacob Collier Audience Choir freebie from NI
Works in Kontakt 7 Player as well as Kontakt 7. Go to this page:
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... nce-choir/
Log into your NI Account. Click on FREE DOWNLOAD.
Open Native Access 2 and click on the Available tab to find and install. The web site states a New tab that doesn't exist.
I have no idea if I will ever use Audience Choir but it sounds good and one can't knock the price.
Anyone without an NI Account will have to create one, of course, then download Native Access 2 and snag Komplete Start (5GB free sounds including Kontakt 7 Player).

Epic Percussion 2
I'm on the fence about this one. Is it worth 3.36G of disk space? Also, it is called "Epic". It has been on sale frequently for next to nothing for years.

Re: Epic Percussion 2
Ahhh, what the heck. I replaced my 2TB NVMe Sample Library drive a while back with a 4TB, so I'll get it anyway. Can purge it down the road if I find I don't use it.cuttime wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 12:33 pm I'm on the fence about this one. Is it worth 3.36G of disk space? Also, it is called "Epic".

iZotope Trash Lite free, also for iPadOS — how to install
Trash is one of my favorite plugs for adding a bit of definition to bass tracks. Unfortunately, Trash 2 is one of those iZotope plug-ins that no longer authorizes on my machine and I have missed it.
Not anymore. iZotope just released an update including a free Trash Lite version. Here's the demo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0QYE-BbxcQ
Since I expect the full version to be included in a future bundle upgrade, I'll pass on that for now. Trash Lite will suffice till then. Click on the Get Lite Free button to find the download page.
https://www.izotope.com/en/products/tra ... -lite.html
There are no instructions for unlocking this free version but I figured it out. After I downloaded, it showed up in the iZotope Product Manager so I installed but I couldn't get it to Authorize. I checked to see that it showed up in my iZotope Account—no serial number. ??? About 15 minutes later, something called Trash Basura (Free) showed up in my iLok account. Dragging that to my iLok did the trick (I could have moved it to my Mac instead). All is good.
Get the free iPadOS version from the App Store.
The full version is on sale for $79 and my upgrade is $29 but the Lite version does what I need. I am liking the new GUI a lot.

Korneff El Juan Limiter - Last Call? Will become paid plugin tonight at midnight?
Saw a post over a Gearspace that seems to quote the developer indicating the (currently FREE) El Juan Limiter is going to become a paid product at midnight tonight 3/24. So rather than keep putting it off I just went to get my copy while there's time:
https://korneffaudio.com/product/el-juan-limiter/
This may be true since there's no an option to download a "Demo" version versus a "Perpetual License" version. Why need a demo unless you intend to start charging for it?
