Got an email last night that Air Music is holding a Black Friday sale for 1 week on its synthesisers (also chack on Plugin Boutique).
These include Xpand!2 on sale for $10 (I like the sounds on this multi-timbrel rompler, check with @ClaudioPorcellana who also uses it). It works well with Scaler 2 MVO.
For a tenner it has some good orchestral samples. but a lot of the synth patches were from Xpand!2 and Hybrid (both of which I have bought on sale last year). Also, as you pointed out,
I haven’t been able to do this so YUK on the GUI. But it does work ok multi timbrel in Reaper and does not seem to be too resource hungry.
