I tried it in my kontakt 7 player and it works. 

But for how long? Kontakt full instruments will work in player for 15 minutes at a time.

I have all the T-Racks 5 modules but I got a good portion of them via group buys. My discount is at the 25+ module level. So I am guessing that modules obtained via group buys don't count.

Group buy modules do count.  We have made improvements to the coupon implementation so you might want to try again but also let me and/or the team know if it still doesn't work.

I just did a recheck and found I have all but TASCAM Porta One and Teac A-6100 MKII. That still gives me 52 T-Rack plugins, but I am still only getting the TR6MAXUP50 coupon.

So I guess you're right that you need to use SM2 to import the banks in order to use them in SM3.

You need to have SM2 installed, but you can now use SM3 to restore your banks.

So is that defense along with the improvadongle.

It is not a defense. It is a statement of fact. Your other points are legitimate though.

Or you want to use them on more than one system like you can with basically every single plugin developer besides Waves, i.e., you want to use them on your primary DAW and have them activated on a second DAW or laptop as a mobile setup.

Waves cancels your second activation as soon as WUP expires.

Sure you can use a USB dongle, or deactivate your main DAW and activate the other system each time you want to swap, but that's pretty poor to need to do that these days.

Even McDSP allows 2 activations these days. Waves are cheap, have some decent plugins, but the most inferior licensing known to man.

This is a legitamate point. My original comment was in response to the statement that you had to pay every year for updates. You don't.

Buy NOW, then pay every year after for updates!!!?!?!

This is getting old. I have a lot of Waves plugins and I have not paid every year for updates. For some reason, they continue to work perfectly fine. I am on Windows of course. But even then, you only need to WUP when Apple breaks Waves.

Issue exists on 3 systems.

That is more data points than my single instance. I wonder what the issue is. Are you on Windows?

Yep the scanner sticks on Vice and another one. Not so much with the other ones. 

Strange. Vice is one of the six (now seven) that I own.

Not me it's only Vst3 that's the issue in the Beatmakers.  I think the only DAW that didn't have an issue was FL Studio.

Interesting. So they are being rejected on plugin scanning?  I just checked. I have 6 Beatmakers and the VST3s all show up in Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig, Cakewalk, and Waveform. Do you have a custom install of UJAM plugins?

You are repeating yourself:

Good luck getting any of those BM Vst3 ti work in a DAW.  When Reaper rejects them other DAWs will follow.

I have never had any problems with these in any of the DAWs I own, including Reaper, and Studio One.

I don't understand. What's up with the email thingy?

Previous purchasers of Hornet plugins got an email from Saverio thanking us for our past support and offering a free gift of a plugin of our choosing. All that was needed was to reply to the email and state which plugin we would like. I chose Sleek.

Does anyone know how I can get redemption codes (or whatever is needed to get licenses from CA)?

The two times I have bought from PA_EXT, I received an email containing a link to the external website along with a redemption code that brought the cost to zero. Did you not receive that from PA_EXT?

I understand that they "assign" feelings to chords, but you can find that information online. 

I understand they allow you to "loop" like a midi by drag and drop chords in any order you want. 

You can drag and drop chords into your DAW as a MIDI clip.

Pick a key, and it'll show you all the combinations for chords for that key. 

A bunch of minor things to do with chords and things you can do in your DAW anyhow, like playing the chords in a sequencer.

Edit: Establish your musical key and scale with audio detection as well as MIDI detection. [ I've got Melodyne Studio for that, so for me it's not needed. ]

 

With the script plugin, you can drag and drop chords as clips and find chords for whatever key you want. 

With the script plugin, you can play the chords in the script plugin without dropping them into the track. 

The script plugin won't have the "emotions" part, but you can find that information online. 

Anything doing with playing the chords can be done in the DAW already. 

The script plugin doesn't come with the bloat-ware (1 gigabyte of instruments).

The script plugin isn't as pretty as the Scaler 2, but with the script you can edit that source code to make it how you want it. 

 

Edit:

There's a few new things I notice now... But I've got plugins that can do the things they added to Scaler 2 since I last demoed it.

This sounds like a painful workflow to me. What I find Scaler good for is to sketch out a song quickly and to be able to try out different chords, voicings, and inversions. 

I also don't find the instruments that come with Scaler bloatware. I wouldn't use them in a final version of a song, but they are convenient to get an idea of what something might sound like without the tedium of having to open another plugin and set up the routing from Scaler to the plugin. 1 Gigabyte is really not much these days. Scaler is really about having the the things you describe above in a single tool that can be used in any DAW, not just Reaper.

If you are happy with your workflow, more power to you; it is just not the way I would choose to work.

For me, Scaler 2 is worth it for $59, so yes it is worth it for $35.

And you can use 1 KVR Point dropping it another dollar.

Sort of. The KVR Point is applied before the XMASJULY10 code so the final price is $12.33 rather than the $12.23 it would be if it were the other way around. But who is going to quibble over a dime?

NOTE:  These are boxed versions

The FX Collection 2 is boxed. The V-Collection 8 states that a download code is sent in 1 - 2 days. I also think that last time this was offered, people outside North America were not able to purchase this.
