If you purchased through a 3rd party don't expect instant gratification - they have to interface with NI to get various pieces in motion. While it's nice when things work quickly & smoothly we've all seen how heavy demand can bog things down.

@tansetter"could you tell me about what you use this for that makes it a better tool for you than audacity or a free DAW like Cakewalk?" Cakewalk is great but it can be overkill for some jobs; Audacity is great too but haven't installed in on my last DAW - it wasn't a good fit, not light enough for small jobs, or powerful enough for big jobs (MHO of course). Wavosaur is a easy, fast, light-weight tool. Requires virtually no set up and takes only something like 6MB of disk space. I have it set so the I can right click on a WAV file and select open-with and it's up. Nice way to trim the silence or noise off a song's beginning or end etc. or even do some creative splicing. Been using it for ages, it's got a number of analysis tools now that I should, but haven't yet checked out. Is it THE BEST? Probably not, but sometimes for a job a pocketknife is a better tool than a lightsaber.

Neither Waves Torque and/or Eventide Physion change the pitch of the transient part of the drum sound so it still sounds natural and doesn't end up sounding like (or at least less like) a retuned sample. HertzRider can't do what they do. BTW if you have Anthology XII make sure you got the latest update which includes free update to Physion Mk II.

Maybe, but consider... EastWest Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra $599 for the complete bundle - preorder, no subscription. Being Fantasy Strings is going for $355 at JRR the complete bundle looks like one hell of a bargain. and that I can pick up using PayPal credit and spread the payments over 6 months kinda makes it a no brainer.

I’m waiting for the 100% off sale till I buy WUP

I don't recall a year when there hasn't been a summer sale... Don't normally pay attention to the minor sales unless they enable use of the coupon. Regardless I'm going to wait for the 50% sale, if NI skips this year then I just get to keep my money that much longer.

Open a support ticket asking if they plan on adding your model. No guarantee that they'll add it but it shows them that there's an interest. They added support for my AKG Q701 model after I asked, even though the reply I got for the ticket was noncommittal "we are planning to add many other models, not sure yours will be supported. Just stay tuned for any news about the plugin."

Did you try it?

PluginBoutique now has it for $149 too. https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/10533?nosto=frontpage-nosto-1

Thorus and Phasor both sound pretty nice, will have try the demos.

You beat me by $.50 but this is something that looks (more) interesting (to me)... (YMMV) https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/4338-Renegade-Mini

It fixes a few small irritations from the previous version and adds a couple of features which we had ready for the next release. Headline Changes In 1.2.0 we have corrected a problem with audio input for irregular block sizes, but we warned about this situation too loudly and way too often - the warning is now moved to the audio input oscillator screen (in 1.2.2; in 1.2.1 it is on every oscillator screen), but the feature is kep Renaming a patch could cause a race condition in our patch database - especially on Linux systems - causing a simple rename to show a large number of database lock errors - this is now fixed Tuning Pitch slider set to 0 in Absolute mode now tunes correctly with Scala tuning files loaded Modulation Fixed pitch bend becoming stuck when toggling MPE mode during held bent note Made sure Portamento set to 0 is strictly 0 in all modes UI/UX Clearing FX slot or chains will now disable bypass if a slot or slots were bypassed Dragging a node in MSEG shows a value tooltip Fixed font difference after typein for VKB Tempo field Fixed a problem where Oscilloscope improperly grabbed keyboard focus Allowed envelope retrigger options for Latch play mode Fixed a problem whereby the Tempo field in standalone didn’t work in some cases Content Added CC0 license to the Init Square template patch Infrastructure 1.2.2 contains our last binary distribution of the LV2 format.
