Solidos Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 (edited) Curves can now be edited within the main displays of their respective modules Great update! I'm currently demoing Phase Plant and tested this right now and it's wonderful. Edited March 20, 2024 by Solidos 1
Anxiousmofo Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 (edited) I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that Ultimate Bundle owners would get better pricing on new plugins than new buyers do. Instead, my account shows the regular sale price of $19.50 and the option to upgrade my Ultimate (with that same one plugin only) for $23.00. That's a bummer to see and also makes no sense.

That's a bummer to see. Did you check in your Kilohearts profile? Future additions can be acquired by completing your bundle at a discount. So you don't but the new product but rather upgrade to the new Ultimate version. Edited March 20, 2024 by Solidos

Sure it does... for them it's another 350 cents. Had exactly the same issue with KH with their previous addition. I contacted support about it and it was like trying to have a conversation with someone who is high... but $23 gets you Ultimate! But it's the same thing. But it's Ultimate!, etc. After going back & forth they did eventually acknowledge that the only difference was my spending the extra money. 1 1 1 3
mibby Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 That's too bad. I was hoping Ultimate owners would get it included like Melda and Kuassa does. I'm still curious about the decision to give everything away for free but the "premium" plugins. Their previous sales model was worked splendidly on me while it lasted...

I'll advise how it goes this time. 3

Same and I agree! --- edit --- https://kilohearts.com/products/kilohearts_ultimate Quote The Ultimate Bundle Own the entire collection of Kilohearts plugins with Kilohearts Ultimate. Now I'm a little annoyed. They should have done like IK or Arturia and labelled it "Ultimate 1", "Ultimate 2", etc. The way it is now is simply says "own the entire collection". So do I own Ultimate or not?? (For the record, yes, I do.) Hrmph. --- edit --- There. Now they have another support email to answer. (support@kilohearts.com) ? Edited March 21, 2024 by mibby 2
Vst0nE Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 paid version should be like 4.99 and not 19.50, i do not see any reason to buy it if there is free one 1
Fleer Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Interesting. Had a $30 coupon lying around. These coupons don’t work on sale pricing, but they do work on Ultimate upgrades, so I was able to use it on that $23 upgrade cost. 1

The last I checked, Ultimate Bundles for Third-Party Voltage Modular developers also include new modules at no extra charge. There are only a few developers that have Ultimate Bundles and also make new modules (I counted three), but this is another precedent to including new modules. In addition, some third-party VM developers have smaller targeted bundles (which are included in the Ultimate Bundle) and when new modules are added, they also get added at no extra charge to the respective lesser bundles, much like Melda does. KV331 Audio does the the same thing with their Synthmaster Everything Bundle. One of the hard lessons I've learned is that similar bundle labels from various companies that might imply some sort of completeness do not have similar consumer-oriented practices. JMO: It is a great service that forum members provide by helping others to see this. "Consumers of the World, Unite!!!"
Nick Blanc Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Purchased, I like their stuff (use it too little though) and I would like to have the collection complete, which is a stupid reason but still a reason. 1
smde Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I had $30 reward coupon from Phase Plant purchase. Worked on this and made it free! 1

I think it's not so much about liking what they make but who they are.
mibby Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I heard back from support. After a few brief exchanges back and forth and suggestions from me on how they should clear things up for their Ultimate customers, the support person emailed back and said he saw that I have been a customer for a long time and purchased many of the free (now) plugins. So he kindly issued a license to my account. ? While I think this pricing is stupid, it's nice to know there are decent and reasonable people on the other end. 4

Still no response to my initial query here. 1
