Looks cool. Price is not unreasonable and they have a 1 week free trial.

Just installed NA2 .. and indeed, relative to NA1 it is a resource hog cpu wise etc.

BUT I did see updates not in NA1 and we really only use NA to update, add new or uninstall so its not on all the time 

Depending on what I own and what updates are being posted I'm sometime firing it up a couple of times a week.
With NA1 was not an issue, with NA2 - if this remains the experience I'm going try like hell to avoid installing or updating anything related to NI.

Installed v3.3 because I was missing updates.
I now have the updates but gaaawd...
They must have it running in debug mode - I'm using a i7 with abundant resources and it runs sooo slowly.
No excuse for such crappy performance in a publicly released app.

I have little plate, do I have to pay 59+59 to get it integrated with the effect rack?

I think the confusion is because the effect rack can be purchased as a standalone produce.
If you have 5.2 the effect rack is included and would assume that with 5.3 that is still true (but we'll find out)
The way they have announced things is a bit confusing.
 

PRICING

SuperPlate will be sold individually for $149 MSRP or as a trade-up from Little Plate to SuperPlate for $59.

Soundtoys 5.4 will be available for $499 MSRP or as an upgrade from Soundtoys 5.3 to 5.4 for $59.

SuperPlate can be added to the Effect Rack plug-in for $59.

I have the PSP 285 - doubt if I need this, but will at some point check it out.

I don't have Kontakt Factory Library 2 yet to compare with, but this is something to think about when the time comes... I'm waiting for a better deal on the Kontakt 7 update from 6.

I'm waiting for NI's summer sale, typically 50% off.

If I now have Factory 2, can I delete Factory 1, so long as I have no active projects in 1?

The libraries are different (see link below), so probably not.
Kontakt Factory Library 2

Update:
Per NI forum thread:
Very Quick Question about Kontakt Factory Library 2 
"Most of KFL1 is also included in KFL2"  
it appears the Library includes a subset of Library 1.

Bapu: installed!

I tried installing Bapu on my system and failed, turned out my reasoning was baseless.

Forum configuration - Please limit # of tags permitted on a post.

The tagging system has been abused to the point where they are ignored by most users.
Personally I think 3 tags should be the limit.

I didn't think that sharing codes by forum users, even if it's bringing some benefit for them too, has anything to do with "keeping commercial vendors from posting sales", therefore I personally was disappointed with that thread closure.

The policy in question is to prevent posts where the poster makes a profit from the links shared.
The policy does cut down significantly on the spamming this forum was getting hit with i.e. same deal constantly being reposted or updated so as to keep it on first page.

(2) The last time I looked, the licenses are for thirty years. 

Just a note if you even think there's possibility that your song/project is going to be reworked or remixed in 30 or more years you probably should export stems as the likelyhood of your project opening in your 2053 DAW are remote. 

Edit: I wish I would have done that for a couple things I did with Project 5...

 <sigh> I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Modular is not everyone's cup of tea and I'm sure a lot of people jump in and then never come to terms with it and then at some point look to sell it.

Is the UI resizable like it is for the Reverb and Rough Rider 3?

Grind GUI is resizable.

I bought this for $19 last year...
Was worth picking up then, now that it's free please feel free to list your excuses as to why you don't have it.
 

I think I'll wait till I've got something to install (like another Labs instrument) or I hear of a library update.
Too many other updates / installs that actually do something going on right now.

Here's the download link:

Anthology Release notes...

Version 1.1.8

• Added refreshed and resizable UI for EChannel, EQ45, EQ65, Precision Time Align, and UltraChannel
• Added various quality-of-life fixes and improvements to EChannel, EQ45, EQ65, Precision Time Align, and UltraChannel
• Added checkmarks for selected preset path in preset menus
• Improved preset bar button interactions
• Removed Precision Time Delay

1.1.7

• Added resizable UIs for Tverb, UltraReverb, Octavox, and Quadravox
• Improved metering cpu performance for SplitEQ and Physion Mk II

1.1.5

• Added resizable UIs for all Clockworks Bundle plugins: H910 Single/Dual, H949 Single/Dual, Instant Flanger Mk II, Instant Phaser Mk II, Omnipressor, and SP2016 Reverb
• Added resizable UIs for all H9 Plug-in Series plugins: Blackhole, CrushStation, Crystals, MangledVerb, MicroPitch, Rotary Mod, ShimmerVerb, Spring, TriceraChorus, UltraTap, and Undulator. As a result, the Source dropdown in TriceraChorus was moved from the preset bar to the main UI panel
• Fixed a crash in Physion Mk II, SplitEQ, and Tverb in Studio One and Cubase when changing a mono track to stereo with the plug-in UI open
• Fixed a bug in all H9 Plug-in Series plug-ins in Studio One and Cubase where changing a mono track to stereo with the plug-in UI open would not update the plug-in's meter layout
• Fixed a bug in all plugins where "Copy Support Information to Clipboard" was missing information regarding sample rate, buffer size, and channel layout
• Further optimized spectrum analyzer code in SplitEQ
• Further optimized waveform drawing code in Physion Mk II
• Fixed a bug in Physion Mk II where "Info -> Webpage" incorrectly linked to Physion v1

BTW the downloads are versioned for example "Blackhole-3.8.17-windows_x64-installer.exe" so if you archive your downloads you'll know if you already have it or not.

Any special about Softube's Vocoder?
I've got several others (Waves, etc.) and wondering if theirs adds anything new or different.

Well, thank you, sir. The price you mentioned surprised me, so I went back to my AAS account and noticed that the upgrade price from Tassman to CV-2 has been lowered from $59 to $49 this afternoon. Still a tad too much according to me, but definitely a step in the right direction.

Thanks Canopus... Owning both Tassman and CV-1 I'm now less impressed at the upgrade price.

Hmm, I've got EZKeys Cinematic Grand and Upright Piano but EZKeys2 is showing up as $79 in my cart.

Usually I have to buy 3 licenses of a Waves product.   I aint doin that USB drive either.   I have 3 iLoks and those never move where I can hardly find most of my USB drives.

The past couple of years I've been keeping my Waves licenses on a small USB that lives on my USB hub, haven't had any problems with it.

Brillant marketing on Waves part - like the Coke/Coke Classic move in 1985 regardless of their motivations it raised Cokes profits that year 14%.
For Wave - tons of free publicity, lots of sales generated by people trying to obtain permanent licenses or WUP before the deadline and they flushed out all the old license codes that were out in the wild.   Despite some potentially grump customers - a win/win situation for Waves.
