Maybe it's me but having Arturia, the popular synths that start with S, opening one of the Korg ones that I have just seem uninspiring. Their eco system is worse.
I got it for $10. Their legacy products are not worth buying. I think most of that came out when people were using W98. I have all of the legacy stuff and deleted it.
YOU MUST OWN THE PLUG-IN the library of patches are create for For example - the only reason why I wont buy this. I would buy more stuff to use this plugin.
Pretty much my favorite developer to to hoard plugins.

We love to derail threads. Now we are into the never ending piracy threads.

I'd be afraid to download something from a torrent site because I don't believe there is honor among thieves. What data are they stealing from you that you are not aware of.
I avoid developers who spend more time locking down their product than improving it.
