The thing is with Scaler, it gives you the theory stuff, but you can also just select things. There are different ways to approach Scaler from a composition perspective, while theory details are present, you don't need to know any of that stuff to use it. You can start off with pre-made "song" style chord selections and change keys of them at the touch of a button as well as swap out chords you want to sound different. Scaler can provide logical choices or you can force it to break the mold, but you don't really need to know theory to do any of it. Scaler is also user friendly in the fact under a scale it will give you a sense of the "mood" of that scale (happy, sad, joyful, thoughtful, etc) you select the scale and it provides the chords of that scale for you, which you can further modify. To me that is the epitomoe of non-theory but gets to the heart of music, the feeling. Without using Chordjam, I'm not sure, but I know the randomness could have "problems' if it isn't following theory in the backend as happy accidents rarely occur outside the realm of fitting an accepted music theory formula of some kind. This is why I think Scaler 2 is so useful, it can feel random but the general selections can feel like happy accidents as you can get pleasing results. My suggestion is get Scaler and then look at Chordjam later if you think you need both. Scaler 2 is pretty intuitive once you watch a couple videos of how to select, bind keys, etc.

Scaler 2 is one of the best products on the market, you don't need to know theory to use it at all. Captain Chords you have to be connected to the internet to actually use it.....basically a treat customers like criminals approach...no thanks. Haven't used Chord Jam, but from what I've seen if it is an either or scenario, I'd go to Scaler 2 first.

Many of these are as low as it gets without a voucher. The sales that "get better" are only when they hand out vouchers on top. (though they do have some of the $40 and $70 tier plugins hit $30 sometimes) If they kept the loyality vouchers active til the end of the month like the initial email stated, this would be a solid sale to pick something up. As it stands, for the long timers, nothing really out of the ordinary here since we dont' have anything to stack with the sale prices.

We are at the next tier, about 1998 to go in less than 4 days.

Yep, that is what shows up in my products as of yesterday

I was in the same boat and the Deluxe Upgrade worked for me. Owned a few of the individual synths but not a paid Syntronik "platform" before.

White 2A does come with the $200 version of AT5 As does VEQ-1A If you bought that to get in the group buy you could also select the Amplitube version of leslie: I bought 200 gear credits for $160 then used that 200 points to get AT5 using all of them. I had JamPoints to use also which brought down the group buy in price at the $200 level to $112, YMMV.

I think there is one under the rack menu (not sure which product I purchased to get it, I have AT5, Orange, Metal, SVX 1+2, and Fender 2 (I also own Mixbox, and The T-Racks module which have white 2, but assume not related)

I signed up for 2 buys for the first time yesterday after intentionally waiting. So some are out there... Thinking about also doing a $200 tier by the end of the promo.

Note they have a $20 per plugin transfer fee on the buyer side, so they can be a tough sell for more than a few bucks for anything but the newest plugins that don't hit massive discounts.

You cannot transfer inactive licenses, or inactive licenses which require a fee to be paid. You cannot transfer subscription bundle licenses! If you have a license for a multiple versions of a plugin (for example, bx_digital V2 and bx_digital V3), then those licenses cannot be transferred separately. After the license has been created in your account, it is blocked for a license transfer for thirty days. (This affects license purchase, license transfer, etc.) FREE Licenses can’t ‌be sold, for example the ones you get when you open a PA account, like bx_cleansweepV2, bx_rockrack Player, bx_solo, bx_subfilter, elysia niveau filter, bx_freeranger, etc. Not sure about deals on the MEGA Subscription as I like to own plugins they sell and since the voucher can only be used in a single shot, there is stress around picking the right time and that likley means you are not realy gettign the best possible deal on owning them as that only happens when you play your cards right over time. ONly the latest PA plugins are "cost prohibitive" to buy where if you want them a Subscription makes sense, IMO.

Most assuredly, the question is who is going to bring up the fact the email when they were sent out said they are good till the end of September, not the 26th? They had quite the backlash last time, would have thought they would be more careful moving forward.

Only becuase it isn't resizable. It is actually one of the most basic/straight forward EQ layouts I can think of that offers a few extra features on it.

You can't load IRs direclty into it, but there are free IR loaders out there and there is a convienient bybass the built in IRs button.

True to my word, a very generious benefactor supplied a $25 voucher and I bought it without any demo whatsoever. I fired it up after the purchase and knew within 2 minutes it was money well spent. The clean channel doesn't stay clean for long but has a good range of chime and grit on tap in the low/mid gain range. Channel 2 provides excellent Plexi tone, I like the clarity and voicing better than say the BE100. The feedback (turned up) is nice for giving a more amp like no hold barred tone. But can be turned down to mellow things out. Crunch, Boost, and Bring add a fair deal of versitility when coubled with the other controls. I appreciate the Depth to allow various levels of "3Dness" when dealing with static IRs. The key to all of it is realism in both tone and response to playing. I'm placing it as standing among some of the better PA Amp sims and a fair amount of versatility too considering you don't expect that out of a "marshall" style amp. (though the clean channel is suposed to be in more the american vein though I'd say you woudl have to turn the input gain quite low to get the clean level of headroom I associate with "clean american" amps) . Primary critique would likley be the noise floor is a little on the high side. Of course you get this in a real recording scenario, but always makes me wonder if it isn't possible to get rid of more of it in the digital realm with these simulations.

Train II, and Overdrive Supreme (though this one can get some fizz in the top end on the clean side) can be setup to sound and feel surprisingly authentic. I have experience with real tranwrecks as well as a Dumble ODS. They are not the same, but given you can run these things at low volumes I've been impressed with the general response and tone. Rockergain was a surprise to me. (I've been to the Orange HQ in GA as my friend knows the lead amp tech for America) so I've played thorugh some solid modded oranges. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. If you try the Train II make sure to spend time adjusting the input gain...that has a massive impact on the versatility. I'd likley argue that is one of the most unique offerings from the PA amp lineup as other Wreck style emulations are few and far between. (Dr. Z-Wreck with AT5 being another one, but that doesn't have the same range on tap) Not all the PA amp sims are equal though that is for sure.

I actually think they are the best in the business (not a fan of the ENGLs though) I would buy this without a demo of it in a heartbeat if I had a $25 monthly voucher.

On a related note, I have some magic beans for sale if anyone is in the market....

Or if you add the "free meter" code and don't use that, the total comes down to $23.99 due to dynamic discounts.

Got the same offer here and was also a bit sad I already have everything offered....I mean at least tempt me with melda I don't have. Good stuff for those that don't have these though.

I have a single physical dongle also with something like ~40 things activated on it on the main tower. But the laptop then gets the local authorizations. The problem is I'm not aware that you can have two ilok accounts on the same machine. Thus the laptop gets ~39 authroizations (all the other non-slate) plugins.

Yep that beats the deal I posted (which also ended up returning to the normal price).

This one is great, but the problem is that they only allow 1 single "non-cloud" ilock authorization. Extremely frustrating for those of us with 2 or more computers to have do deal with such limitations...free or paid. Kinda treats the customers a bit like trash by doing this...

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is "yes" you can key lock to scales and you can do so in a few different ways.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply using a CC directly but using a different form of payment with PP than direclty out of a bank account. Though if you use a CC to pay with PP I've always gotten the foreign transaction fees (of some kind) so that doesn't avoid that problem...I'm simply suggesting that pulling out of your bank account might have the transaction fees but it also likely gives you less recourse as a buyer (obviously dependent on the bank it pulls from, how PP handles, as well as your CC company). So speaking in generalities.
