Even though the Windows plug-ins have not been updated, I still think they are a great value if you catch them in bundles, etc. I resurrected many of them for use on my laptop for simplicity of install/activation (iLok software) and low space and CPU impact. @Yan Filiatrault - I have not experienced any crashes or problems with AIR FX or VSTi with Windows on either desktop or laptop. I think I have most if not all the VSTi's. I only have a subset of the FX that came with a MIDI hardware purchase some time ago, and I don't use those regularly.

The only thing updated is the installer shells. The VST dll's in these are byte-for-byte identical with the 2015 versions that I had. I didn't see any difference in the content either, but I didn't feel like digging that deep with WinMerge.

I gotta give props to Rob Papen. I just bought the Explorer 6 upgrade nine days before the release of DelSane. You have to draw the line somewhere, but RP immediately issued me a (no charge) key upon my request. I probably would have popped for the $29 anyway, because I collect delays like some gather compressors. Fun to play with.

Found this on RP's YouTube post.

Well, Gainmatch was an easy sell. I watched the videos and spent 15 minutes with the demo. LOTS of options "hidden" in the menus/icons. Got it direct for $15 thanks the the "YT15" code published on this forum.

I found it! Gainmatch It was $19 on sale for $12 (in early March- not on sale now). Not sure if it has the same ability as this thread product, but certainly cheaper. I just looked at the Youtube vids for it and it looks very useful.

I thought there was a @ $20 VST mentioned on this thread a few weeks ago, but I can't find it now.

Thank you! I just discovered that when I was poking around. They are all installed locally now. I still show an update for "Arturia Lite" in ASC, but that can wait. Much to explore in P3.

Yeah. I got the free Pigments 3 update installed, but since buying the $19 patch kit, Arturia Software Center has been a smoldering heap. Oh well- Something to look forward to!

Note Magix' non-commercial use restriction. I know you mentioned not usually using stuff with this restriction in one of your videos. I am in the same boat. I bought a few of their packs in the early days, and although I don't currently license or sell music, I prefer not to keep track of such sources.

I agree with abacab's critique, but I did not find VIP at all worth keeping on my system. I got it "free" with my Alesis VX49 keyboard a few years ago, and had high hopes for a "poor man's Komplete" via hardware support in the VX49. It has been more than two years since it was updated, so I expect it must be abandoned. I cleaned all the VST-2 stuff off my system in favor of VST3 (except for VST2 only apps *cough* UJAM), so that was a huge strike against VIP for me as well.

I have not received it yet either, but I discovered a bunch of freebies in my https://my.presonus.com/products/add-ons that I was not even aware of. Thanks OP for getting me to check. AFIK the third party stuff works in other DAWS as well. I expect the BassRoom will appear there soon. -edit- I just discovered that I opted out of all Presonus emails. I can't seem to turn them back on, so I will have to check the account once in a while

For the tightwads like me that passed on $6 at APD, Pad Therapy is currently $4.24 after "GIVEME10" coupon at https://www.rigid-audio.com/

The email would come from Fastspring with download links from Fastspring. Try going to this link https://rigidaudio.onfastspring.com/account and enter the email address that you used for the purchase. If you don't get a reply, is there a chance of typo? I picked up a bundle last night and had no issues. Good luck!

Rigid Audio is running rotating sales for April. New deal every 72 hours. ALSO- the bundle prices are excellent, if you are new to Rigid Audio (Not possible on this forum ?) Use the code GIVEME10 for another 10% off at FastSpring. Note- It looks like the bundles ARE the current 72 hour special, which will rotate out in about 30 hours.

My experience with UVI is that vouchers are definitely accepted during sales (against sale prices). I can't speak to asking after expiration for a courtesy "bump". I purchased Falcon during an "everything sale" and used the $100 voucher right away because I knew what I was after (World Instruments which was also on sale). I verified with their support before I took the plunge, so if you have concerns, I am sure they would be happy to answer your questions.

SampleLogic Cinematic Guitars Infinity $99 Requires FULL Kontakt -edit- Actually $99.99

I own Creative Bundle- which includes three plugs that are in Essential. Essential price for me is still the full $119. Must be related to price paid for what you own. I got the Creative bundle a couple years ago and I am sure it was 50% off at the time.

My experience as well.

I like granular stuff, but I can't tell if these are even VST plug-ins... 32 or 64 bit? Ableton only? Demos? Their web site should post some specs!
