Two different companies. Sad

You should then check Soundpaint, good sample engine and so far a decent business model as well

I hope I will find something similar to replace Kontakt also in the future.

It’s just gross. And I like NI and their products. But yeah this popular shift towards subscriptions is just gross.

In a mixing perspective I do like Subcription models of Plugin Alliance and Slate Digital … I may buy one of those when I start making money from music…

Several companies use that rent-to-own model on Splice.com as well (Arturia, Xfer Records, D16 Group, Izotope, etc.) It’s a good way to make expensive plugins more accessible and may even limit the appeal of piracy. Really hope it becomes standard (in addition to demoing and buying outright).

“(…) we added the alternative to rent our instruments until you pay the full price. This allows you to enjoy the full instrument right away. You can also cancel at any time.
Now you can have Fire Piano Bass for only $2.90 a month (per 10 months).
And Akoustic Synth for only $6.90 a month (per 10 months).
Once you pay the retail price the license is yours to keep.
I hope you use this opportunity to start your Sampleson Collection :)
Happy jamming!

Printing to audio is a future proof solution. I don’t even trust simple format .dll plugins, that they will load indefinitely in my system. One day I will have to update the OS. At the moment I believe that wavs are more reliable than plugins.

Their stressing of “on-trend” instruments and effects sounds like I may open a song file one day to find that the synth I love is missing, etc.

Indeed ! Suddenly they started to turn the music business into a sub-prostitution arena. Reason+, NI, Plugin alliance …
