Welcome

I have the core subscription, its pretty common for them to make "test drive" items available to tempt you into a higher level of sub. I have installed these FX but not tried them yet.

I just had a quick run through. Its a very nice suite of effects but most will have these things covered elsewhere. I did like the step phaser and step flanger presets however, they are a little different.

Its just a single plugin and once you open it you select the effect type etc.

It looks like it will be part of the core subscription, so I get to keep these as long as I pay my $3 a month. Roland have been pretty good at adding a couple of Zeanology sound packs a month, so I am happy on the sub, at the moment.

That doesn't seem like a bad deal?!

I think its good value. It just gets you Zenology which is a sort of ROMplier but its got a good and ever expanding library of sounds and it has a very low footprint. Now with the effects added it made it an even better buy.

I do too!!

Looking at my post again when I read your response to me I realized I may have come across as saying you were not getting a good deal. But it's really the opposite.  I may look into this. $36 a yr?

When you stop the sub, what happens?

[Fleer]

It goes down.

Yes, bounce any tracks before stopping the sub. Some of the other synths have the option to buy a permanent licence, but its very expensive.
