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.

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. Stephen

Re: Alternative(s) for AIR Instruments?
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. |
