I went ahead and got it myself. $4.00 after using the "GIVEME10" coupon code. Plus there's a "free gift" thrown in as you can see in the screen capture. Something called "Nylonist" which I'm guessing is some sort of classical guitar instrument for Kontakt. Should have mentioned also that Limerance does require the full version of Kontakt.
…
Thanks for the 45¢ savings code.
I'm a slut for nylon string VIs. I once owned and played a couple of world class classical guitars.
Haha. Yeah. 45 cents is 45 cents. LOL. I did mess with Nylonist a little bit. I recall there was one funky sample on a “D” I think that didn’t seem to match the timbre of the others. Oh well. Get what you pay for. Limerance is worth it through. Won’t appear in the Libraries window of Kontakt though as NI charges licensing for that. Used to be a way to hack that, but not working anymore.

James, I saw the $5 deal and had to get Limerence. I was intrigued by the company and all the titles they had out.. I had not heard of them before. After the purchase, I was poking through their stuff and saw "Pad Therapy", which I fell in love with. It was like $54 or something. I was about to purchase that, but then I saw a very odd pricing on their "Everything Bundle." Everything they make for $58.80. It includes Pad Therapy and several more excellent titles, 31 of them, I think.
Yeah. They have a sale now on Pad instruments for $22 right now. I have to find the link. Limerance is part of it but there are some others I don’t think I have. Can’t find the link right now.

Here's the link to the sale I mentioned in the previous post. I checked though and I already have three of the four libraries already. The one I don't have is "Viego."

That's probably a pretty good deal. I got one of those deals I know before. It wasn't everything but darn close to it. Although a lot of the Kontakt instruments they have are sort of what I call the "no brainer" things where you hold down on key and sort of premade loops happen and then you hold another key down along with that and it layers something else on it for you. Sometimes these sorts of instruments feel like "cheating" where it feels all pre-made. An analogy I used with a friend is the feeling I get when using some of those things is like throwing a pre-made frozen dinner into a microwave and then calling myself a "chef." Seems like more and more of VIs and Kontakt libraries I see are like that where they have loops or arps built and all the "sound design" is done for you.

Well you may be in luck here. Just got this in my email today. The sales goes for two weeks. Here's the link:
78% OFF: Virtual Guitarist SILK by UJAM Create Classy Nylon Guitar Tracks with Finger Picking Melodies Easily
GET
78% OFF
For only $29.00 (normally $129), get Virtual Guitarist Silk for Mac and PC by UJAM.
Virtual Guitarist SILK is the softly spoken nylon-stringed concert guitarist of your dreams.
Let the smooth and delicate finger-picking virtuoso take you on a journey from clean and smooth-sounding singer/songwriter arrangements to vivid fortissimo style phrases suitable for dance and pop compositions.
Perfect for all levels of music production experience, SILK’s credentials include the uncompromising sound quality demanded by professionals whilst complete beginners will appreciate UJAM Instruments frustration-free design allowing them to get their ideas down quickly with no previous guitar knowledge.
Thanks for the heads-up. I bought UJAM's AMBER a few months ago and SILK is going to work nicely for some things I have planned. It's not bad quicker than NI's Foundations - Nylon Guitar though not nearly as versatile (almost accidentally bought Foundations a second time recently when it went on sale)

I just bought VG-SILK also. Don't have much time to mess with it tonight, but for the life of me, have you found a way to get the thing to just play single notes, or is that not it's thing? Is it all about the automatic accompaniment. Just figured I might want to just play single notes and play a particular melody with it. Hmm..... There must be a way!

P.S. Both AMBER and SILK are great little VIs... especially at the sale prices, but I did notice they are not Apple Silicon native yet. I breathlessly await the upgrade fee for the native version!
and with the "group" discount Novum is around $90 for me, so more than 40% off at Tracktion. I'm a frequent user so.. Novum is especially amazing, but F-em and Bioteck are products by a guy who developed for Waldorf (Blofeld etc.) and it shows.

Glad you posted that. Do you mean Labor Day? I went to the traktion site but could only find a 40% off coupon code. However the JRR shop sale price is still good.
I was listening to the Biotek preset demo and I’m probably going to get that for sure. I assume it’s AS native.

All three I bought are AS native, Bioteck, Novum, and F-Em.

This is one I can't resist if it sounds anything like the real deal on lead guitar tracks.
