    Shows up now. The price isn't attractive to me though. $199 to upgrade from V9 to VX. Considering that I paid $149 to get V9, that doesn't look like a good deal. I'll wait until next Black Friday or whatever deals they might have until then. Also I can upgrade to Mini V4 or Wurli V3 for $49. But nope, not me, I won't do that.

    Always the same upgrade intro price for years and always better to wait for a better sale later.

    So I got these about a week ago. Here's some feedback.

    Please keep in mind I'm known around these parts (and everywhere else) to dislike most things and not being afraid of publicly stating as much. Also keep in mind that, before reading up on how much effort Steven Slate has been and is putting into this, I basically regarded him as a cash grabbing fraud who puts out rushed, uninspiring products and focuses on marketing more than quality (boy, was I wrong. The guy and his entire team are putting their heart and soul into this.)

    Ready? I don't think you are.

    I've only done 4 and a half mixes with VSX so far, so obviously, I need a lot more time with the headphones and software, but I can already very confidently say this: this is, to me, the one magic thing that changes everything I've always been looking for. After just a week, it is already definitely, without the slightest doubt, BY FAR the best music related product I've ever purchased. Do keep in mind that I basically own every plugin under the moon, including ridiculously expensive "holy grail" ones (hi Ziad).

    Using just VSX with a few different rooms and speakers and regularly switching to reference tracks, I can suddenly hear everything clearly and in detail, I can hear what's wrong with a track or mix and know what to do because it is SCREAMING at me. I can suddenly, quite honestly almost magically, make EQ, compression and reverb/delay related choices with ease and confidence and it actually sounds right and translates to other devices afterwards.

    If you research this product, you will find almost exclusively overwhelmingly positive feedback (like >99%), and that is, for once, because it ACTUALLY IS just that good.

    I would pay almost any amount of money for this. I would trade all of my plugins for it and mix with stock effects if I had to. And my mixes would still be better than ever. $399 and especially $349 (see post above) is a R I D I C U L O U S bargain for this. If you do any mixing at all, do yourself a favour and buy it immediately, no matter how much doubt you have or how much you believe that "you can't mix on headphones". Because you really can. And you WILL.

    Thank you for this.. and also for Steven Slate for hacking your account and put out this post! (Just kidding, you’re very convincing)

    I am not a Facebook fan.
    Only go there to say happy birthday to friends/family and see videos of cats and 6 year olds smoking my ***** on guitar... :( 

    I saw Steven Slate talk about that upgrade discount on a VSX thread in the Gearspace forum. Maybe you can try there.

    Picked up a lot of this stuff during BF - was totally off my radar. Some of the best purchases I made this year. Atlantis, Prometheus, Gold 2.5 - almost nothing that is filler. That Prometheus library is a goldmine, wish I found it back in February, would have saved me literally weeks of sound design. Guy behind these libraries is a damn genius.

    agreed, expensive update, you just basically will get 250 more presets, so like 2 banks sale for them and calling it upgrade

    I bought it many years ago, and no other synth comes close to it in my opinion. A definite upgrade buy for me.
