Alternative(s) for AIR Instruments?
 
I use the DB-33, Piano, XPand and Vacuum Pro often. I mostly use presets. Seem like these VIs are on life-support and Catalina compatibility is still a ways off. I'm going to try REASON RACK. Are there other suggestions for replacements?
TIA!

For piano, take a look at Synthogy Ivory, especially American Concert D.
For DB33, take a look at IK Multimedia Hammond B-3X
For Xpand or any other synth, take a look at Spectrasonics Omnisphere

In place of Vacuum Pro, look at Synapse Audio's Dune 3.

UVI Falcon will also cover each of those bases, although I like Synthogy as well for the piano stuff.

UVI Falcon ? Hmm. Using the sound library included with the PT version?

Yep... but not just PT sound bank... the UVI included one as well.
Lotsa great sounds in there.

What's the rush for Catalina?

Unless you have a new Mac then there's no rush to update.

AIR might be not the newest kids on the block but there's some instruments there I'm not in a hurry to be without.

My MacBook Pro was getting crushed by my projects. A new one would have Catalina. I built a new PC instead - it’s been a rough road but I think I have it working OK now. Bonus - I can keep using my Beloved Eleven Rack with Win 10!
The AIR Instruments work fine on Win10 too, obviously.
