Exactly.. That's one of the ones I want and still deciding on the Soundiron bundle with the voices of Gaia stuff and more in the bundle.

Has anyone purchased the soundiron voices of stuff on the kronos and what do you think of them?

I will try the demos of course too but any feedback will be much appreciated for the soundiron stuff.

It's a bit more tempting, now the Italian F Piano has been reduced by 33%

Hi there,

I bought three of them with time while on sale. Of course, included samples in each might not be all useful depending on your needs, so you have to check the demos carefully.

I made a video some months ago which includes a few examples. Check the beginning (about one minute) and also the last minute of the clip (credits).

I've bought the complete Soundiron voices banks bundle.

My opinion is that they are great sounds quality. For the moment I didn't include them in a song. Some of the banks (as Barbershop for instance) are so specific that they are not so easy to use.
The one I'm using the most is Olympus.

All in all, very beautiful sounds.

Thanks guys for the feedback of the SoundIron bundle, I tried a good few of the ones I really wanted and sorry to say they are pretty poor, the samples may sound good but the programming is zero and I can easily recreate the ones I want without having to buy these and the bundle that I will only use only the voices of the other stuff is just stuff I will never use, they really need to drop the prices more on these they are not worth what they are asking for them and the Kontact versions are a totally different league from the Kronos versions that's why they don't even have videos for the kronos versions as they are pretty poor compared to the Kontact versions and missing a lot of stuff compared to the Kontact version and it looked like all they did was load single samples into a program and add the IFX and MFX to the program..

Sorry I can do that in 2 minutes with a wav file of the voices that are easy to find on the net in many forms that are free to use. Very disappointing by this as was really looking forward to them after watching many of soundirons videos but off course they were only Kontact demos no kronos ones, but I had high hopes that fell apart after trying them.. ohh well they saved me some $ to spend on other sounds now.

Think I'm just gonna add these this time.

Any other recommendations from anyone here that maybe worth me looking at before I buy the ones I mentioned at top as I get charged a exchange rate from $-£ ( the £ sucks at the moment too) and a standard fee of £15 for the privilege too, so I try to buy them all in one at the time. Did want the Soundiron Bundle but the demos of the ones I wanted said a lot and avoided them sadly.

I did look at the epic composer and the animated orchestra Kapro stuff but I already have Symphonic Dreams 4 complete and I think that's the best one out of all his stuff, so I would end up with pretty much same stuff with slight changes that I can easily do with Symphonic Dreams 4.

Just bought a new EXS on the Korg shopping site. It is not my first purchase there, but for the first time the serial # is not updated/written in the My Kronos link. Luckily, I copied the serial before leaving the purchase confirmation page, otherwise I would be unable to use it.

Hopefully, Korg will fix this soon. Never happened to me before with the previous EXs I bought, so there is definitely a problem on their site. Just wanted to warn other potential buyers in case it happens to you too.

Same thing happened here.
I contacted support and in a couple of days they fixed it.

Thanks danx to confirm it is not just me who has this problem.

I finally got someone at Korg to take care of this - seems like in my country they don't have a solution so I'm now taken care of by Korg USA.

Do you mean the Public ID not the serial number ?

Purgatory wrote:Do you mean the Public ID not the serial number ?

I mean the key you receive when you buy any new EXs, made of 24 alphanumeric characters. The public ID has to do with the Kronos and it always remains the same. But right now, the Korg site seems to have this bug and not updating your info under the My Kronos section. So if you buy new EXs libraries, don't forget to write down or copy that 24-characters key before leaving the payment confirmation page, otherwise you might not see it afterwards on your My Kronos section, until someone at Korg corrects this for you. I'm sure it's just temporary, as it always worked correctly for me in the past with my previous EXs purchases.

Thanks KK for this useful advice.

I've just purchased the Kapro Legendary Rock & Pops Grand. I find it's a quite tricky :
Presented on the Shop Korg page as a 4 banks pack for a total of 19,43 $, actually it's 19.43 $ per bank ! So, I didn't pay enough attention and I didn't expect to pay more than 50 $ ! So, the displayed price is not the right one. We can see the right price we are going to pay on the Shopping cart page only.
However, the other Kapro packs prices, are righly displayed : Legend pack, Past and Present pack for 66.33 $, for example.

That's not cool !
