I for one missed it. Thanks!

If you are Canadian, the upgrade is $39 CDN which works out to about $27.30 USD. AAS always give Canadians the same price in Canuck dollars as US dollars.

Oh rats. Paid $40 CDN for this last November. I do like it though.

The really sad part about this whole affair is that this library was given away. The people responding with didn’t pay a cent for this. I could see people reacting if they had invested a huge sum of money in a product and it didn’t work for them but reacting this way for something they received for free is just not called for.

I really feel for James too. I might reach out to him as well and offer to help him debug the Mac issues with Pantomine.

Getting this will knock $10 off the price of Synthmaster 3 bringing the price down to $39. This is a true no brainer.

The CM-to-full upgrade discount code displayed in the CM plugin itself seems to be working, while the code “printed” in the magazine does not.

Which gives you 50% off, bringing the price down to $26 CDN for me. Still not sure I want/need this.

There’s a discount code on that page for the full version that takes 50% off. Combined with the current sale, the price drops to €16, or to €13 if you bought the core version (for €3).

So I assume the CM version has limited features.

From what I understand, the CM version and the Core version…Read More

This has been confirmed in a KVR thread by both Evil Dragon and by Ocean Swift Software who is doing factory presets for Absynth 6.

So glad you got things up and running. Sure appreciate all you do and have done to provide such a great place for us hang out.

Unfortunately, it gives a message “coupon is not valid.” I’m guessing that means that they stopped this promotion.

The official LinkedMusicians account

When I clicked on the linked, it automatically added the “GRANDFREE” coupon bring the price down to zero. So the promotional is still going.

Hello there,

 

just dropping in to say that you can indeed download the 2.0 version from the link in the OP. https://github.com/ZL-Audio/ZLEqualizer/releases – 2.0 is just confusingly tagged as “1.0.0 pre-release”. Oh, and x86 is x64 to complete the confusion 🙂

 

Cheers!

Thanks for this.…Read More

You might be able to get a “Version 2” if you compile from source but I would not put too much stock in its stability or features. There is active development going on with the last github commit being about an hour ago. So until there is an actual 2 release, I would stick with version 1.

As far as I can tell 0.6.2 is not ZL Equalizer 2. If you go to the github releases page

https://github.com/ZL-Audio/ZLEqualizer/releases/tag/0.6.2

It explicitly states:

Update 2025 Sept 10th:

0.6.2 will be the last version of ZL Equalizer. See you in ZL Equalizer 2 soon (hopefully).

The above link is where you get to if you click on the first…Read More

I liked Loopmaster’s sample manager. I was just not interested in having to have a subscription in order to use it.

Updated to version 2 now, still free

Where did you see the version 2 update?

They is IKM’s weird upgrade plans. MAXGrade is an upgrade from any max product, for example Amplitube 5 MAX. Upgrade is from a previous version of Total Studio MAX. So currently, the upgrade is more expensive than the MAXgrade which defies logic.

If you have jam points you can get it direct from IKM for $85.

I got there the Fame Reverb + the 15% code to enter the group buy weeks ago. 😀

New album soon!

Likewise. I already owned the Fame Reverb but all I needed was the Tonex Brown Sound Collections so this was a cheap way to get those.

What Pete says.

Wondering if the two latest packs are in there too.

They are. I completed my AAS collection last December and with these two packs I am one away from being complete again. Unless, they release any more before Christmas, the Christmas gift this year will complete me.

I bought the UJAM complete my collection last year, thinking it would save me a ton of money. Boy was I wrong. Now I have to keep buying UJAM releases just to keep my collection complete. Fortunately, they have not been bank breaking…yet.

$12.60 at JRRSHOP with the GROUP coupon. Of course, if you want one of the PluginBoutique freebies and want to support LM, PB would be the better choice. @peter, do you have an affiliate link for JRRSHOP?

Allow me to advocate for the Devil.  Are the folks who can’t get the freebie registered users of Safari Pedals as noted in the OP?  I didn’t get the deal either, but I also don’t have (or want) a Safari Pedals account.

My gmail email address did not receive a key however, my non gmail address did.

Where I think the confusion lies is MrFigg thought that if you already owned Tonex before the group buy, you could still get two free Tonex collections. He couldn’t figure out how to get those two free packs. But the fact is that you have to buy a qualifying item to get into the group buy and get the free items. There are no free packs outside of…Read More

this business of the free signature packs that you get if you buy ToneX SE is something that was added in this thread. All it really means is, of the 11 free items that you do get, you don’t need to select those free signature packs that you chose for free. From what I can see, if you get T…

I think this was intended to mean, at the time of writing , if you buy Tonex SE to get into the group buy you would immedeiately get two signature collections for free, with more signature collections to follow as the group buy ramps up. I think the second statement was meant to say that if you already own Tonex, you can buy a signature collection…Read More

If you already have Total Studio Max 5, what is left for you in this group buy? The Tonex Brown Sound collections?

$24 here

Are you logged in to sampletekk and do you already own the Kontakt version? It was showing $30 for me before I logged in and $24 after I logged in.

The one you want is obxf-2025-09-23-4916b19-Windows.exe. You need to click on Show all 14 assets to see it.

Here is a link to the downloads:

https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/OB-Xf/releases

Rats. Why couldn’t it have been $100? It would have been so much easier to resist. From what I have listened to so far, this is right up my alley.

I too am very interested in what they are coming out with.

This plugin has been out for two years now and has generated very little buzz. Take that as you will.

Thanks Patick. It certainly sound more appealing in context.

I must be missing something. I know this is supposed to be legendary but none of the sound examples really appeal to me. Maybe I need to hear this in some sort of context?

Don’t worry if you can’t get it. Addiction Synth has the dubious distinction of being my first regret in buying a plugin. IMO it is not worth the time to download, install and test it.

8Dio got back to me as well with the same code. 8Dio support is superb and really deserves our business.

I wonder how many others have not been able to crossgrade because they did not receive the email.

I received a response from 8Dio. They said that I should apply the the crossgrade discount code I received in the email. But I did not receive a crossgrade code in an email. Did any of you?

@peter, thanks for the offer to replace your referral code with mine. I would rather you get the the benefit than me. You have put way more into this site than I.

I received an email from 8Dio saying I was eligible for the crossgrade for Bkackbird but when I went to the site, it still showed $30 for me. I do in fact own Blackbird. Guess I need to contact support. They have actually been very responsive in the past.

This looks interesting. Here is a link to the actual download so that you don’t have to compile it yourself.

https://github.com/tiagolr/reevr/releases

I have given the same advice in the past as well. Thenatan pumps out these plugins and then immediately abandons them at least as far as supporting and updating them. He still likes to flog them in frequent fire sales.
