Thanks for the feedback, Eric. BTW, I got a proper demonstration of full-working (licensed) versions of Stylus and Atmosphere. Seeing them in their full bloom was, to be understated, superb. I'm a very anti-loop-based artist, hence my original apprehension over the value of Stylus to me. What I found intriguing about Stylus, other than the amazingly fat, analog sound it projects, is that I could quickly scan for loops in the family of what I'm looking for mentally/emotionally and then reprogram the hell out of it with the greatest of ease and speed, and concluding with a completely original rhythm sequence. I suppose I understood this in theory before, but manipulating the interface myself brought the experience to life. It's a joy to use in my control-freak world, a useful tool for someone who never uses prefab loops for the core of any song in my personal work. Note: This isn't a judgment on people who use loops, just a personal conviction with regard to my own creativity. And Atmosphere is drool-worthy to be sure, a veritable necessity in the types of music I create. When my wallet allows, I'm going for both and grab Trilogy as well when it becomes available. What cinches my decision is your plan to support Audio Units as a free upgrade (correct me if I'm wrong). Beautiful work by Spectrasonics! I had never considered purchasing these tools. Now I have to figure out how I can live without them for a bit. Ouch! -Jer > > > --- In exs-users@yahoogroups.com, <HELP@M...> wrote: >> Hey, it still promotes their libraries.
