• Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer

Looks like a version of the Realistic MG-1 that for now is only available in this bundle

Unlike the "early BF deals" this one includes newer product lines like XO ($76.49 for the non-lite) and RC

I've been resisting this deal because I've been telling myself that I don't need yet another piano library. Then, I just took a last look before it expired, and this time I clicked on the walkthrough instead of the soundcloud demos.

Oh boy... the urge to buy after listening to @Simeon Amburgey playing these instruments was simply overwhelming!

Something new this time in the Acid Pro Suite is the Brainworx Plug-in Package including: bx_oberhausen bx_townhouse bx_rooMS bx_delay 2500, bx_clean sweep pro

Personally, from that list I already have what I want, but it's a pretty solid set of plugins easily worth $75~$150+ (calculating sale prices between $30 and the rock-bottom $15 sale prices that you can get sometimes by combining a $40 sale voucher and a $25 monthly voucher, or similar combinations)
 

Plug-in collective membership plus a mini keyboard for $50 sounds pretty good

For the full version it's $82 at dontcrack (same code pdzaas)

After purchase, how do you access the In The Mix Vital Sounds Preset Pack?

Great video!

The only thing I'd have added is a label reminding people to consume gear responsibly...

Eventide Quadravox, D16 Group Drumazon, Mastering the Mix ANIMATE or Reason Rack Plugin

Bonus Gift after purchase of a paid product

(and yes, cclarry already mentioned these bonuses in the Virtual CZ thread but I thought it would be clearer in its own thread, with people commenting on what's good to buy in order to get the freebies)

nice review here

So I can have "One Rig To Rule Them All"!!!

Fixed...

Same price at http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=2487

(note: at dontcrack they have "custom bundling", if you buy together with other products they apply a discount to your cart)

$32 with coupon PDZAAS

I'm trying to register an upgrade by entering the code into the elicenser control manager (Menu: Actions>Enter Activation Code) but it has been failing for hours with an error message indicating that the licensing servers could not be contacted

The Steinberg employees in charge of operating the licensing servers must be having a "fun" day...

On the other hand, a lot of people trying to register the software is probably a good indicator that sales have been healthy!

$20.40 after coupon AME5LIQO

have just bought v7 and would be annoyed if they give it away as part of the upgrade

Would you be annoyed if it is included and then SLv7 ownership entitled you to a discount on the upgrade?

(I don't know if they're planning on anything like that, it's just a speculative question)

suggestion: Fix typo in subject (missing z) to make it easier to find later when using search

It's a toy instead of a plugin but it may be interesting nevertheless (note: there is physical shipping involved so most likely it's not a deal outside the US)

https://sellout.woot.com/offers/sphero-specdrums-2-rings-2

$39.99 (free shipping with Amazon Prime)

The yearly sale is here

https://www.synthmaster.com/synthmasterexpansions.aspx

Very nice sounding preset banks from Nori Ubukata, Rob Lee, etc. Grab some and have fun playing!

If you don't yet have synthmaster you can get synthmaster CM for free from here:

These sale vouchers have been typically per plugin, that's why they don't apply to "bundles" like byome & triad, and they don't even list the bundles as exclusions. Triad can be a mid/side or a multiband version of Byome anyway and includes all its presets.

It's curious that bassmint is excluded, considering that it was already $29 yesterday for many people, $79 crossgrade minus the $50 monthly voucher. I got it for myself, and I saw other messages in the KVR forums yesterday about people buying the same deal.

Btw, Matcha is a recent release that is not excluded

sounds like fried rectums

wouldn't that be an interesting name for a band?...

I didn't know people in this forum would be interested in this kind of deals. FWIW, Roswell Pro Audio has been offering a 75% off with coupon AES2020 for their apparel

after step 1, simply install that over the top of the older installation

That was one of the first things I tried, and I still had the bluescreen. The new iLok driver got installed in addition to the old one, not as a replacement

the dreaded registry edit

I posted what I did because that's what I know worked. I didn't check the service control manager but, if it shows up there then it should be the preferred way to disable it.

Something that seems unusual is that even after uninstalling, the entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TPkd is still present in the registry (and the machine has been shutdown and restarted quite a few times since I uninstalled)

By the way, I do like the SONiVOX plugins and that is why I went through the effort of figuring out how to make them work. Yes, it takes a small amount of additional effort compared to other installs but I hope it doesn't discourage people from grabbing a good deal!

The OP in that thread references Vocalizer Pro 1.3

I am running v2.3.0.16 since 2016.

Looking at the SONiVOX site, the version it mentions is 1.3 https://sonivoxmi.com/products/details/vocalizer-pro

My account at pluginboutique only offers 1.3 for download

Can you post a link to a page showing a later version?

Anyway, it's very easy. After installing the plugin, take a look in add/remove programs. If there is anything mentioning TPkd, get rid of it. If there isn't, then there's nothing to do
