Well if we’re talking pharmaceuticals you couldn’t be more wrong!

Well, I suppose that in the case of pharmaceuticals, when you buy them you actually do use them...

Spot on !
UAFX _ Del-Verb recently, Astra just arrived. Pricey, yet worth it so far. Android UAFX Control App is quite cool. May be set for a bit ....
Sooooo long as pianist, organist, keyboardist, Prophet 5 polyphony is much tougher to adjust than imagined.
Deepmind 12 is comparatively easy. Have both pedals cabled to switch easily. Both synths complemented notably by UAFX !
Kinda shows lack of sophistication, as Prophet 5 is not yet providing stimulation expected. Analog monosynth would likely make me nutz ! Just under $ 1K to get Expansion Board to raise Prophet 5 to Prophet 10. In retrospect, better choice may have been single purchase of Sequential Prophet Rev 2 16-Voice.
No stress or rush. Lotsa time to learn, enjoy, sort things later.

Pianists especially must find moving to synths frustrating. The very keys act differently. The dynamic ranges are different, if there is any. And polyphony... Keep on hanging in there, though; you may find the limitations help you to focus on things that the Prophet 5 does well.Spot on !

I'm sure those are terrific pedals. Nice choices, and they should be a lot of fun and sound a lot better than going for cheaper options. (That isn't always true, but I'm fairly confident in UA's ability to turn out nice sounding effects.)

This synth diversion has forced major refocus on chord progression chops. Not as spiffy now as believed.
UA /Eventide FX promo deals got me too (for DAW). Brigade Chorus, TriceraChorus. Bonus $25. for > $100. GAS-sed me into Waterfall B3 Organ. You & kgd convinced I'm good with saturation for now.
THX for encouragement, offsetting slings and arrows from afar !

It sounds like you are in a good place to me. If you are finding weaknesses, that's a good thing to work on. Although I say that as someone who is riddled with musical weaknesses! Sometimes you have to accept that you have limitations that aren't worth the work it would take to overcome them. I often play quite fast on the guitar, but I never thought it was worth the effort to learn to play really fast; I preferred to spend the time I had working on other things.

Then there's Marcin Patrzalek ........ and a few notorious others. Good to hear you play at that level ! Agree, there is always temptation to gain capability in some direction ...... yet some are far more challenging to each player than others.
Would be really cool to have someone, like you, to accompany my live play .... just relaxed, no pressure, enjoy. Not a strong improvisor, and that is a tough one, on my side.Pharmaceuticals not big here, unless we're talking mushrooms .....

Live inspiration across the internet? That would be nice if it were really possible.Then there's Marcin Patrzalek ........ and a few notorious others. Good to hear you play at that level !

Pharmaceuticals? Prescription only; that's bad enough!

Made this last night on the fly playing through the SE-100. Quick phone recording but you can still get the tone of it. Only a touch of EQ and delay after the amp sim.

I've created an Plugin Alliance Deals subforum, which is in the "Company Forums" section, and I've moved this thread there. That should be better than the Drama Zone, with less stigma.
Since there's an entire sub-forum for Soundpaint (as well as another one for 8dio and another for Soundpaint), feel free to start new threads specific to various products if you like, since they also won't appear in Latest Posts. Or continuing to post in this thread is fine, too.

There are some deals going now, but with the monthly vouchers disabled for the rest of the year, the deals are less attractive, IMHO. I received the email below from PA on Oct 23 outlining upcoming changes to the monthly loyalty vouchers:

Yeah, sadly none of the items left on my wishlist are anywhere close to a price I would consider committing for. These deals definitely aren't great.

I wonder about that. Waves has managed to sell all of their plugins for $30 dollars for ages. Their complete packs add up to even cheaper than that. Now, I don't particularly want that if it means subscription-based upgrades and I'm also not looking for the old $18 PA-Poker opportunities, but these $40-50 'deals' based on hyperinflated prices really aren't doing it when you look at the rest of the market.
For example. LISA is definitely on my wishlist as an interesting curiosity but there's no way I can justify shelling out $60 for it. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I don't think so. ADPTR Metric A/B for $100? I really don't know about these prices, even if ADPTR makes really good stuff.
Maybe a better metric is... I used to buy a PA plugin every month or so. I haven't bought anything in over half a year at this point. That's certainly not making them any money.

I think their base prices are way over- inflated, but I also think they are there more to allow a reasonable price at 70% off. People like to think they are saving. People like to use a discount code. This is fine. Their $29/39 sales are good. I just don't think they can do the $4 thing anymore.
If I were them, I would do a monthly coupon for any plugin under $200 for $29 or over $200 for $39. Maybe not include the new plugins. That way they get at least $29. They can have separate sales for the cheaper stuff that they normally sell at $10.
