Last chance for $6.50 Fabfilter One virtual analogue
I got this for $6.50 US on promotion this week. Such a delightfully simple and great sounding instrument. I like that it runs at arbitrary sample rates. This was actually the hole in my arsenal - I have lots of complex instruments but needed a bread and butter VA.
Get in today (Friday, April 24) while you still can!

Change is coming to an FL Studio near you
The 8.5 beta of FL Studio was released last week and along with a host of fixed bugs come major changes and additions. First, the new toys: Hardcore, a guitar amp modeler...
Gross Beat, a beat mangling effect with a rolling 2 bar buffer...
Ogun, a hybrid / additive synth that excels at pads and rich metallic timbres...
and Autogun, a free combined version of Ogun and the Maximus compressor / limiter. The idea here is that all the patches in Autogun are automatically generated, you can use them in your productions, and you can save patches - but you'll need the full version of Ogun to edit the details.
The descriptive text is auto-generated, not just the patch, and it can be interesting. You might recognize references to FL messageboard personalities as you click from one random patch to another.
So far it looks like Gross Beat and Hardcore will be free for FL Studio producer edition license holders.
I've already posted on Reaktor Tips and Noisepages about a change in the innards of FL Studio that makes it friendlier to some Native Instruments plugins.
Oh, and this is unbelievable - after years of bickering and complaints, they've finally added real sidechaining. That's right, not "look, use the peak controller, it's almost the same thing" - real honest to Bob sidechaining.
So far the Fruity Limiter is the only native effect to support it, but third party effects with extra input for sidechaining should work.
I first bought FL Studio when it was at version 4. Since I bought the download instead of the boxed edition, I've been receiving free lifetime updates. In that time, there have been huge improvements to basic program functionality, additions like the Edison audio editor, the Slicex beat slicer, vastly improved effects plugins, an FL edition of Synthmaker whose only limitation is that it only runs in FL and won't export compiled DLLs... it goes on and on. Value for money has been off the scale, considering the original purchase price was around 150 bucks. I feel almost humbled at how much I've received for that modest investment.
