Its nice that I qualify, considering I already own multiple serial numbers for both TONEX and Amplitude

Likewise. I already own Tonex Max and AmpliTube  5 plus almost all the modules in Max. What would I be upgrading to again? 

Just received an email from Hornet with a price correction for this. It is actually 80% off, not 87%.

Edit: Hey Larry, just noticed your text is correct but your title is not.

Saw somebody trying to flog this on facebook marketplace for $300, claiming it was worth $599 American.  Some people are so low.

How do you mean go through checkout twice to use both vouchers? I can add only one voucher per purchase, right?

You have to buy two items and go through the checkout twice, once for each item to use both vouchers.

Yes it does. I received this from support:

Hello Doug,
 
Apologies for the confusion. It looks like there was a mixup on our end (new employee) and the price has been changed to the correct price of $48.

I'm getting this issue after the update. Got five nothing-burger instruments at the top of the list. Nice.

Three dots only has 'release notes' in it and clicking that brings up nothing ("No release notes available for this product.")

This is a known bug and a fix is in the works. Apparently, it has something to do with legacy products which can no longer be downloaded but can be authorized still. If you turn off viewing legacy products in the settings, these go away.

$148 here too. Same in cart. They probably made a mistake in the newsletter and forgot the "1" in "$148".

The text of the message states that you are getting $750 off, so it is not a simple mistake of missing a 1. I sent a message to 8Dio support. They have been very accomodating in the past. We will see if they honour this deal.

Anybody knows if that would help me with an upgrade path to FX collection later at some point?

Yes, it will.

However, the upgrade for me to the latest version is $499, only $100 off. Last year, when I bought 8, the upgrade was 50% off but still at $250, I decided it wasn't worth it for me to upgrade. No way I am paying $499 for the upgrade. And I already own the augmented instruments that were added in 9. However getting 8 for $49 is an absolute super deal.

Wait. These are 8 BIT drum samples, right? That's Commodore/Atari 1980 home computer level quality. Shouldn't we expect those to sound "bad"?

No. 8Bit Music is the name of the company that did the sampling. They were sampled at 24 Bit, 44.1 KHz. They were played with different items like a paint roller. That is what is supposed to make them unique.

Though maybe you knew that and my humour detector is malfunctioning.

Cream hasn't been updated in YEARS.

True. However...and I don't know if you can trust this but, the developer posted on KVR in January that "Cream VST3 and Mac Silicon/Intel versions are coming soon. I have started to rewrite the MIDI engine and that update is also coming this year."

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. Some would maintain the current version is already great in its current state, especially with the majority of the kinks worked out. If the existing feature set has what you want and it sound good to you, then $44.10 is a darn good deal. It is not like it is a thousand dollar investment on which you are basing your career. For me it was worth a punt and I am glad I did.

Not a deal at all. You can currently get this from pluginboutique for $119 if you own any Air Instrument (who doesn't) and it has been as cheap as $75. Everything in the pack is ancient and no longer developed or supported. I don't think I would pay $75 for it now. I do own it but it mostly just takes up space on my hard drive.

They've had it at this price in the past, even a little lower.  It's been on version three for more than ten years, most of them with major bug problems for the software.  I bought BFD Eco when it was fairly new and never upgraded to BFD full -- and the upgrade price is $49 US -- because of all of the problems reported with it and acknowledged by the development team -- PLUS the fact that 10+ years without a major update is kind of a red flag. I'd love to see them release a really good BFD4, and I might consider that if it were cheap. But given their history of issues and neglect of their software lines, I still might not buy it. 

Actually the current version of BFD3 is pretty solid. I think most of the issues have been ironed out. I have not had any issues with it, and it seems that it is still being maintained. 

Amazon.com has them for $39.95 USD. Free shipping if you have prime.

This one very tempting!

That is tempting. I have Royal and Amber, but even 49 for just HOT and VOGUE is pretty good.

Shipping to CA works out to about $13 per unit if my math is mathing.  

Is CA California or Canada? In either case, my shipping is $38.55. Are you buying multiple units to reduce the shipping cost?

Here's a video I found on YT that may, or may not, help you decide about Tonocracy:

 

I don't think this video is relevent anymore. At least the version I downloaded didn't have a demo mode.

I have to wonder about the name of Rebelle (say it out loud).

Noun or Verb? When I saw the Rebelle, I was pronouncing it like the noun. I said it out loud and couldn't quite catch what you meant. Then I watched a YouTube video on Rebelle, and realized I was pronouncing it incorrectly.  Your statement now makes more sense to me.

I upgraded at $29 too. It’s only a $10 dollar difference but somehow mistiming a sale always feels like a belly punch!

I balance this with thinking about the glitch deals I have gotten in the past. I am pretty sure I am ahead.

There are five other free SoundProp instruments at LootAudio as well.

Rats. Just upgraded my Amber for $29. Wins some lose some I guess.

Also make sure that you're clicking on the word "Crossgrade" to the left of the green price.

Ah, this is what I was missing. Now I have to decide if I really want RECIRCULATE.

The Arturia site is being hit hard. Fortunately did not affect installing the upgrade.

After signing in, my price was $29.40.

Signing into Eventide/newfangled 

Mine is $49. What do you have that gives you $29.40?
