I doubt that. They have a reputation of being quality. Their Renn stuff is some of the best. There's plenty out their that don't have a UP. They survive. See Image Line with lifetime updates.

Their licensing sucks. See IK, Izotope, and Melda. Their licensing doesn't suck. That's the only drawback.

Simple answer - No,

Eggs that cost less than $4 for 18. If only food prices would reflect that so called 8% inflation.

What a F'd up thread this turned out to be. After 2 posts how did it (d)evolve.

That is a really good deal. Too bad their licensing sucks.

That's why I don't bother with them anymore until an irresistible deal comes along. Their older products still work.

No but look at the amount of updates instead of calling it a new version.

I wish these companies would allow you to go into your account and download the exe. files. 90% of the time any NI update is a fail and retry. That why they have that uninstaller utility which is a rebranded Window Installer Cleanup. Amazed at the amount of code they write in the registry. Some VSTs like Massive if you delete the 32bit they want you to put it back in and you can get the latest update.

I think you have to own it to be a fan. Nope, following tradition. Give up now.

To get to the full MXXX you buy Melda one piece at a time. I like their loyalty.

Then you start adding presets to the madness. For Trance one only needs Spire or Sylenth, and I see Serum being used more. At some point I have to wonder spending 4 hours on a Groove3 tutorial is worth my time since I have a limited time on Earth and enough synths for at least 2 lifetimes, BTW wasn't there a much better deal when NI had these Uhe synths on sale?

Nope, I'm gonna stick with the members tradition of of staying off topic in a deals thread. I should add BTW how does it compare to <insert synth here> so we can see 5 videos about it.

I wonder if they will ever have a working demo.

When you have FL everything I think anytime there is an update with a new product you get it included. I bought it when they included the VSTs and don't really use them in another DAW.

Gee more 808 stuff is what the world needs.

People seem to ignore who the developer is.

and more latency than traditional hardware

It could be worse like wanting you to pony up $$ for what seems like an annual upgrade with little features.

I loathe all of them. Some will install those digi ones, 32 and 64 bit, I only do vst3 these days to limit confusion.

Just finished a course on Live and you really don't need 3rd party stuff. Amazing the stuff I've heard in FL using their 3xOsc. People cranked out a lot if music in Reason before they created REs. I have everything in FL, Live, Reason and then add Arturia to the mess and those zillion Kontakt synths. I find synths are more about trends. You rarely see EDM producers use more than 3 synths.

Also plays most Zebra presets. I've gotten to the point where I don't need another synth in my life.

I guess this escaped the mods.

In my world none. EW Brass is more than enough.

Most vocal ones are.
