Now that Waldorf have released the magnificent PPG Wave 3.00, it has been decided to discontinue the Hollow Sun 'Definitive PPG' library as it makes no sense to be in competition with 'the real thing', so to speak.

But before that happens, here's an opportunity to grab it for a measly $1! That's about 64p in real money or roughly €0.75!!
his offer is valid until the twelfth day of Christmas on January 5th, 2011, at which point, she will be gracefully and lovingly retired with thanks for services beyond the call of duty. So if you have Kontakt and fancy a taste of these iconic sounds, grab it while you can!
