I’m glad you got it working. Software Pass looks like a front end for interfacing with the new korg.com site. When it breaks, go to the source. It’s strange that it only downloads and doesn’t run the installer. Definitely a good deal for those who upgraded from M1 Le.

Right you are. https://support.izotope.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407777831699-iZotope-Compatibility-with-Apple-silicon Neoverb is on the list. None of the other reverbs are listed.

+1 A suggestion I have that would make ToneNET even more useful would be to add specific gear to the search criteria, so I can filter on presets that use a particular pedal, amp, cab, or rack module.

Hooray. More Apple Silicon support. Now, waiting for Nectar 3. I have RX 7 which obviously won't get updated (current version is RX 9).

Sound pretty frustrating. It wasn't until I ran the KORG Software Pass Installer that I was able to register (and then install) my products. But I understand your situation that fixing it may not provide much benefit if what you have already works (assuming Windows).

I bought two from GameStop and received two black ones, for which I’m actually glad, since black matches all my hardware better.

Did you start on the korguser.net site? It's a confusing process that takes you across three different sites. I started here: https://www.korguser.net/asp/upgrade.asp How did it not work? I'm sure we can help you spend your money, but only if you want to.

Since it doesn't show any products in your korg.com account, I'm inclined to think that the migration wasn't completed by purchasing the products on korg.shop with the coupon codes. Hopefully, you'll be able to update to the latest versions of the synths you bought. It was a bit confusing for me after I purchased the upgrade that it didn't show up in korg.com account but I had to still register the license codes (and it showed up in my account after that).

Picked up the Suhr SE100 in the 2 for $49 deal (- $25 monthly voucher). The controls are different from the Friedman BE100, which at 50% gain has a lot more bass. I guess each amp has a different and unique voicing. There’s enough overlap with other amps I have that this doesn’t fill any real gaps but I’m an amp addict.

Got KORG Collection 3 upgrade from M1 Le for $149. This was a big buy for me. That's the equivalent of five $30 purchases. Or ten $15 PA purchases. My other big purchase in the past was Komplete 13 upgrade for $200 (though other software also add up if I include the original + upgrade costs). BTW, I noticed that the TRITON Extreme VST3 doesn't show up in Studio One in Apple Silicon native mode. All the rest do.

Picked up Big Al and Suhr SE100 for $25. Thanks for the ideas.

I found a FAQ for those with the KORG Legacy Collection: https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/articles/115005850843-How-do-I-migrate-my-KORG-Legacy-Collection-plugins-from-korguser-net-to-korg-shop- It involves korguser.net, id.korg.com, and korg.shop, a not entirely obvious process.

I have to say that graphically, the UI to me is beautiful. I like the way the buttons “light up” when pressed. The 360 plug-in appeals to my old school experiences with analog mixers (thanks for the heads-up on that). If it weren’t for the previous post, I would’ve thought it was just for hardware.

FYI, "Not compatible with OSX 10.16 and later." So, only up to Catalina. Big Sur and Monterey are not currently supported.

heh ... I hear you. I had to dig out the manual to make sense of all the modes on the Bogner. I forgot. The AmpliTube German 34 is an Ecstacy. I wonder if it can "plexi" as well. Never mind. Just checked and they didn't include the plexi modes.

Thanks for your insight--this is what I'm looking for. I'll be waiting for the next time the Softube goes on sale again.

Thanks for your response. Are you doing this in any professional capacity? I’m just a hobbyist intrigued by the opportunity to buy stuff that emulates pricey boutique hardware. Been playing acoustic guitar for 35+ years now but just getting into electric guitar. For live performance, I’m using iOS, mainly Nembrini with Ownhammer IRs using Nembrini’s IR Loader (when I’m not lazy). At home, I’m now using a MacBook Air M1 running Studio One Pro. I started with AmpliTube (from GB many years ago) and now have the equivalent of MAX after the recent GB. Now, getting into the standalone amp sims from PA which I like for simplicity vs. suites, especially when chaining different effects. For IRs, I just use the IR loader built into S1. I’ve been holding off on TH-U since getting rigs seems like another deep hole to get into. Coming back to the OP, how’s the Suhr SE100 compared to other sims (since it sounds like you have it)?

Thanks. Purchased from Jrrshop.

Thanks for your very thorough run down--I appreciate it. I forgot about the MiniPlex 20 (Friedman Pink Taco). My question is, is there's a good reason to collect all these amp sims if they sound similar? Like why not just get the best version? I have Nembrini on iOS (Extacy, Mrh159). All the Amplitube amps. Friedman BE100. Is the Suhr SE100 better? Or just different? Of the above, which is your favorite? Just figuring out if there are any I should still get. Interesting observation on external IRs, I have the Ownhammer (r)Evolution bundle. What do you use/recommend? Thanks!

I have bx_console E and bx_townhouse (not to mention IK). Any compelling reason to pick this up?
