That's a lot of bug fixes... Now I see why they need WUP.. they make really buggy software 🤭🤣

Well... I had been thinking about the MPS4.1-MPS5 upgrade when this thread popped up. And after waffling all day and FOMOing I bought it. ...Then I felt guilty about taking advantage of it. So I emailed support and told them I bought it, but hadn't installed it yet, and that I'd return it for credit if they wanted. I got this reply back from Izotope support this morning. I'm not trying to dip my toes into any of the stuff going on over at VI-control or cast judgements or anything like that, but I wanted to dispel the conspiracy that this was some sort of conniving marketing scheme on the part of Izotope. It's simple. Someone at Izotope screwed up, some of us took advantage of it, and Izotope stands behind their products and sales regardless. peaceout. 🙂 PS. Oh! And thanks for the OP @Yan Filiatrault !

WUP required!!! Nope!!! Those bug fixes should be free. I apparently bought defective plugins... I understand if they want to charge for new features & improvements, etc. But charging for bug fixes, yikes!!! 🙄

No. More. WUP. just sayin’

I wonder what $29 plugin was slipped to that person for that comment.

Sorry boiz, I fell asleep at the wheel. Installed.

Installed (oops.. sorry.. I'm not Bapu)

I bought a bunch of Waves plugins during a sale last year - before I understood their update policy. I logged in to my Waves account today and saw it would cost me $141.28 to use them with v14. This price includes the 25% discount. I see absolutely no incentive to do this and I certainly don't see myself purchasing any more Waves products in the future.

WUP should be 100% off.

Vst3 the gods listen to us.

With that list of bugs, it seems, that all Waves Plugins prior V14 have been completely unusable... 🤔😎

Amazing, original library

I don't think I've done a single rock project that didn't use at least one Orange Tree Samples library. I'm dying for a certain OTS bass library to be released.

Just glad you are OK. 🙂

I departed the Waves gravy boat a year or two ago. Fortunately I wasn’t in with them more than a few fathoms, so it was painless to get back on dry land.

20 minutes and it's not downloaded and installed by Baps! Is it time to do a wellness check?

I have mixed feelings about this. Strongest about negative is to pay for a number of plug-in fixes… that’s definitely not right. I love quite a few of my waves plug-ins, but, time to replace them with stuff I always own and or similar things that update without wup.

At this rate v15 will be out before the end of the year. I'm finally done with waves I think.

No more waves until they ditch WUP.

(1) Its a matter of individual taste and sonic goals. Personally, I like filter sweeps, including resonance sweeps (including a range from subtle to wild) and sometimes static resonance settings. (2) I just did a very simple test and found that Yes, the resonance knob had an effect on various filter modes in Syntronik (pre-2) with the 6dB filter. Simple Test: Open Syntronik > Minimod > A Deep Sweeper. Select M-Type Filter and 6 dB Slope. Try different Modes. WARNINGS: Do not do this with headphones on. When testing, start with the volume low.. Trigger some notes and play with Resonance and Cutoff. ============== Just my opinion: I applaud oqpoil's dedication to uncovering quirks and sharing his results with the community here. I appreciate Peter's efforts to inform users of information he has, even when he is just passing on information others have given him. I think the factory presets are well designed to ignore the quirks and to showcase a wide range of presets. I think the quirks can be used extremely creatively. Pun ("extremely") definitely intended. Despite all the quirks, $49 is a very nice price for the functional equivalent of Syntronik 2 MAX.

Sly & Robbie - Destination Unknown

That’s a company that is active on fixes and updates

I bought the everything update via plugin discount yesterday. Worked fine, I'm pretty sure Izotope couldn't care less. This is not the first "mistake" and it works, even taking advantage of those mistakes I spent about 400$ on Izotope products this year, so.... ;)

Run the Kilohearts installer to update

The Pretenders - Boots of Chinese Plastic:

Ticks??? Sounds like another "bug" to report. Clock resolution (ticks per 1/4 note) set in Preferences. Sonar used to go up to 120 but was increased to 960 a few many years ago.

I didn’t feel comfortable taking advantage of this deal so I purchased it while wearing a fake mustache and wig to avoid getting recognized.

The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys - Traffic

Very nice!

While we're on the topic of keyboard gymnastics and stuff to challenge your brain... This bassist might not be an Asian cutie, but sheesh, he's certainly in the same league musically. His fingers keep up even when my brain can't.

It’s the next shiny thing. That’s all.

Many thanks to Yan Filiatrault for posting this. I was originally going to wait towards the end of the month to purchase the upgrade to MPS5, as I was hoping that iZotope might lower the price a slight bit more, as they did for the Neutron 4 upgrade. Oh man, to my surprise, something even better showed up. This is a insane price for this set. What made it even more of a no brainer for me was the fact that I had a personal discount code laying around that got me 20% off the aforementioned purchase price. So that's 159.20 for all of this. FREAKING SWEET!
