I've been fiddling with the new Cinematic Lights instrument by Presonus today and although I love the samples, presets etc. I couldn't help to notice that this "new" instrument has the exact same UI, features and engine as Lead Architect and Deep Flight One. Other than the background picture and color everything looks and works the same in all three.
I don't want to think ill of Presonus -although I have no problem thinking ill of the Fender corporation-, but this does seem very odd to me, specially seeing that it isn't clarified anywhere on the marketing material that these are new sample packs/presets. Someone commented about this on the youtube video by Gregor and this is how he responded: "Different Samples, Sounds and Loops with an entirely different theme = Completely different & new Sound possibilities. -GBY". We all love Gregor but c'mon bro. I don't think it's his fault but he didn't even address the comment (which was about the UI being the same as LA).
I know there hasn't been quarterly update yet (Presonus promised 3 or 4 of those per year) so this doesn't count as a new feature as advertised, but it just doesn't look good to me. Why wouldn't they release the rompler once and then the sample packs as what they are? Why make new "instruments" out of each sample pack? Will they release a "new" impact clone every time they want to upload new drum pack and call it "Rock Legends" or something? Why market it as different instruments when everybody can tell they're not? I don't know any Studio One user that would have a problem with these just being sample packs, and even paying for them.
Am I crazy or this looks a bit disingenuous? What do you guys think is going on?
