Man, you didn't think they'd do it, but they did! "Cluster Sound Team has kept his promise!" declares the press release from Cluster Sound. If you were one of the [zero] people who bet against Cluster Sound on this one, you sure have egg on your face now! OH MAN, WHAT A YEAR IT'S BEEN.

So, I guess at some point the "Team" at Cluster Sound made the world a promise. That promise? To top 18GB of content with their Tech Producer DSP software bundle, a cornucopia of samples, loops and virtual instruments. The Pilgrims would have accused Cluster Sound of the mortal sin of glut and had it excommunicated and expelled from their settlements to face a certain death at the hands of the local wildlife, wary Wampanoag tribes-people, or the elements, this thing is so massive.

The trio that topped off this frothy collection -- I like to think of them as the "promise keepers" -- are all tailored for the NI Kontakt platform:

• CS-Sigma -- Korg Sigma emulation
• CS-SX1000 -- Jen SX-1000 SYNTHETONE emulation
• SST-282 Convo -- Ursa Major Space Station Echo

"Sigma" and "SX-1000" emulate two hard-to-find analog synths, while Space Station recreates an even-harder-to-find reverb unit.
