New customers: 69 Euro instead of 199, including three explorations bundle.

....After that police letter I needed something positive... downloading. :)

I imagine that to be a very nice unique partner for Omnisphere.

FYI - new buyers get 3 new expansions thrown in, and existing owners can pick these up at £20 for the lot. These expansions - Beats, Expressive and Liquid Explorations - now appear on the Pigments and Analog Lab in-app stores with 20 or so presets each that you can try to see if you like them. The £20 deal seems to be only available in the web store.

(In Analog Lab there's also a new free expansion of 32 presets, Vintage Lab, full of famous yesteryear synth classics. IMO this isn't as good as their previous freebie which now seems to have disappeared. Also I just noticed all my other expansions appeared to be online only, I had to manually download them all agian. And also my "include legacy sounds" had become unchecked. After all that, I'm back to 14,388 presets to idle away a rainy day)

EDIT - I might be going mad with the naming, but I think that previous freebie is still there but it's been renamed Modern Lab. That does have absoluetly perfect recreations of Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk brass (Juno 6) and MGMT's Kids lead (Prophet 5, amazingly) and they make me smile.

Didn’t really need it, but at this price with an Arturia account ( keylab 61 mk2) it is a nice addition and somewhat differs in sound from my other synths like Diva and Avenger.

The UI is actually quite well made with all of it’s direct visual feedback. (A bit like fabfilter)

Exploring the possibilities currently, with some nice to good sounds, although there are always presets that will not fit what I need.

Nice update, Pigments have been my "go to" the last few months. The GUI works very nice with a multitouch 21" monitor.

Did not know that such is supported. Yesterday I was stuck for a moment, as I wanted to automate a extensively programmed Macro knob, and could not figure it out at first, then it daunted me, :wallbang: just copy the entire Macro knob assignments, and well, do whatever you want... :D

There is a Dune-inspired soundset, Spice, that is free with any purchase from APD this month (usually $35). Note - one of these deals is the Guareschi Ronoroco and Charango bundle for $20, the former was highly recommended here. https://audioplugin.deals/product/the-r ... guareschi/
