Live 4 now supports VST instruments... **GOOD DEAL ALERT**

Post by Amberience » Fri Jul 23, 2004 6:17 am

Everything you need to know is here:

http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

To summarise though: You can buy Sonic Synth 1 for a maximum of $139 or £75GBP - That is a MASSIVE saving on the original price, and you get a shitload of content too. The price drops the more people dedicate to buy.

You're also elegible for a crossgrade to Sampletank XL or an upgrade to Sonic Synth 2, with a good discount on that too.

You get a the free OMNI Synth too, and possibly another disk too (from the looks of it, this extra disk will be randomly sent out with the orders)

Read the KvR topic for more information.

Can I just say that getting this bundle would be like getting a software Triton, or Motif... its a software workstation synth!! It sounds great too!!

A few more details:

The new even lower prices:
$189. for 1-20 people
$179. for 21-40 people
$169. for 41-60 people
$159. for 61-80 people
$149. for 81-99 people
$139. for 100-199 people <---- We're at this level now!!
$109. for 200-299 people
$89. + another extra library if 300-550 people.

Listen to some of the sounds!!

If you've never worked with a Triton (which I hardly think is likely) then just checkout the blurb on the website above.

supporting vsti´s is the only thing i dont care and hate (ok hate is too strong but it is taking too much time from ableton guys to fix the bugs , and we know whit vsti always will be bugs, and new versions every month) in this v4.01, i love Live cus it move forward and now has is own intruments ...this is the thing to me... Great v.4

Maybe if it was for sonic synth 2 I would be all over it but not for ver.1 its not like there will be any sales on it after version 2 comes out so its like we are paying for left overs I guess thats good for some but not me. post us again when they are doing a group sale for sonic synth 2

If you buy this, you get a great discount on a Sonic Synth 2 upgrade. The bonus is that you'll have more sounds for very little money. Sonic Synth 2 uses a different sound set, so why not benefit now and buy both??

Thats what I'm going to do anyway.

Well the upgrade to Sonik Synth 2 is $199. Now Sonik Synth 2 to buy at its normal price is $399, but buying this bundle first and THEN the upgrade gets you more sounds and some freebies.

Once this deal is over, the Sonik Synth 1 soundset will be destroyed. They're very good sounds and still deserve to be used, hence this great discount.

The Esounds crew are flexible when it comes to deals, so if you've already got ST2, or are after something specific then talk to them. They might be able to help you out - Many people are exchanging the free ST2LE software for a different soundset because they've already got ST2.

There isn't long left for this deal, but it would make a perfect partner with Live 4!

This bundle qualifies for discounted upgrades and crossgrades to SampleTank 2 XL and/or Sonik Synth 2 where you can save $200 on either or $400 for both if you should want to expand your set up with more features and sounds. That is in addition to saving over $200 on this group buy as well.

i own sonic synth 1 and , indeed, it's a great sounding
set of samples. much much much better than the ones
I received when buying ST XL.

also SampleTank is very stable and easy on the CPU
(which wasn't the case on the CPUs that people were
using when ST was released)

i highly recommend it
