If you ve ever purchased 3 or more of our products in a row you probably noticed that in the past we gave you a little discount.
This was never a “public” action on our website, however, we’ve always cared a lot about the support you show us by legally download our releases, so we’ve always tried to be fair with you as you were with us.
It is for this reasons that today we launch “Standalone | Bundles” , 3 different collections (Everything , Virtual and Hardware) that allow you to get 2 or more soundsets at a time but for a different and lower price compared to the one you would get by purchasing the same soundsets separately.
Bundles are available in our bundles page, Enjoy!

Fxpansion Geist Standalone-Music Factory Preset

7 Skies — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 01:26:22 +0000

finally after a few months of beta testing and a few days of sound design we can announce that standalone-music is proudly featured on Fxpansion’s new plugin “Geist”.
We have been asked to have a little bit of fun with it and come up with a preset that shows all (or at least many) of the capabilities of this great drum machine (actually isn’t quite right to call it that way as it’s way more than just a drum machine).
Geist is the long awaited new version of the successful plugin for beat making and beat slicing GURU, it has indeed many of it’s functions but improved and re-designed along with a plenty other new features such as 8 layers available on each of the 16 pads in each of the 8 engines, this might be confusing so let me put it simple, you have a lot of room and possibilities to create the perfect groove with just 1 plugin.
Great improvements were done with the browser, now everything is way quicker than how it used to be with guru.
Also new is the song mode that allows you to basically create a whole track with just the plugin, something like the old Akay samplers, also new is the ability to record directly into the plugin and from the plugin, allowing you to create a beat record it slice it an use parts of it with new elements.
We can talk about Geist for the whole day, but we suggest you to go on fxpansion.com and try it yourself!
