Not in a malicious way, but simply choosing the target audience. Maybe they even only WANT the AAA people for whom the money is but petty cash. It was such a GIANT amount of content at a really good price, I would have never expected anyone to want to get it years later. The thinking was "the BWW customers who want Revive will buy it immediately, the ones who are not interested will never buy it". We genuinely did not expect anyone to want to buy it after the intrp period. They might be in the royalties/passive income bracket that they really think "if you want all 4, you buy all 4, if you don't want all 4, you'll never buy the ones you don't want anyway" and really do not expect anyone to get one today, another in a few weeks, or so.Įven OT has fallen prey to that thinking with the Berlin Woodwinds Revive crossgrade back in 2017. Though I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they genuinely do not see the issue or that it is not an issue for them. Haha, yeah, that doesn't really help the Elitist tag, indeed C'mon guys, just have it based on what you own. (and Tobias, this doesn't help the elitist tag, does it?) Good for the rich, bad for the poor, and the implied solution of going into credit makes me queasy. No, you can't buy one when you can afford that, and then a 2nd and start getting the discount. If cash is hard to come buy however, you are penalised. If you have disposable income - you're fine. But when I thought about it, the idea that you only get discounts if you buy TOGETHER felt ethically dubious to me. They set the price and model how they see fit of course. I do have one new irk which doesn't affect me but does affect others, and it is one specific of the pricing for these extensions. But things like this, or the crazy categorisation system, will forever irk. I think some of the results we all love come from that attitude, so I'm not totally down on it. In general, Spectrasonics do things their way, and no petitioning or reasoning affects that. But it's still obviously poor he didn't engage with the issue. ![]() you said you didn't use it any more? If so I guess the reply kinda makes sense. Instead of quick and cheesy trailers, Spectrasonics have hefty walk-through videos on each of the Sonic Extensions and a 2-hour live stream which stylishly and artistically introduces all of the instruments, effects and features – the production values are off the charts.Anders - at first sight that's an awful reply, but I'm a little confused as to what you wrote. Each one costs $149 although if you buy more than one at a time you can snag yourself a discount. They offer a wide range of sound palettes and possibilities with 1000s of sounds, 1000s of Scenes and variations. Seismic Shock – Heavy Modern Electronic.Sonic Extensions is launching with four new instruments: Omnisphere itself also gets a bit of an update although the road to version 3 is probably still a few years long if Spectrasonics previous rate of change is anything to go by. ![]() Another feature is the use of “Scenes” within a patch to let you save variations and get back to them without changing the preset. They also come with a couple of new effects that can be used in Omnisphere as a whole. What that means is that they have a custom front panel as if they were their own instrument running within the Omnisphere engine. However, these are more than sound packs.Įach Sonic Extension comes with a library of undoubtedly fantastic and deeply multi-sampled sounds but they also come with new ways to interact with them. And now they believe they’ve come up with a new idea to offer some sound packs for their flagship synth. Omnisphere was released in 2008 with version 2 meandering its way to release in 2015 and 2.5 appearing 3 years later. They’ve been around a long time and their output is one of the slowest in the industry. Spectrasonics make some superb virtual instruments.
