On sale now, worth getting?

Don't have it. But i would say that there are better alternatives in vst land.

Don't know what the sale price is, but it's a great synth. I got it back when I upgraded to Cubase 6.5. If you look through some older threads you will find lots of respect from users that have many alternatives, myself included. I tend to reach for Zebra, Spire, Omnisphere, or one of the current faves. I keep forgetting I have this. Thanks for reminding me. If it's under the regular price ($49.95) it's very much worth it.

I love Retrologue....it's very....Retro.

But having said that I have not installed it on my new system because of the eLicenser. I still have it on my old system. So if you don't mind the eicesner software then yes it's worth the price.......in my opinion of course.

And which better alternatives in the same price range do you know or have you got?

Is that also on sale now, I can't find it on the page listing the VD sale?:

When I put Retrologue in my bag, and apply the "VALENTINESDAY14" code nothing happens?

I'd definitely recommend it as a nice compliment to other VA synths you already own. Sounds good, nice modulation options, doesn't kill your CPU. Great deal for the price.

In case anyone's interested, I've got 2 Retrologue patch banks available with 100 sounds in each: http://xenossoundworks.com/retrologue.html

Can somebody post the link to the activation code on sale.

Can only find the VST version here?:

Sorry, my bad. Retrologue is NOT on sale

I also popped Retrologue in the basket and gave the 50% off code a spin...just in case. No cigar

So I downloaded the Halion Sonic 2 trial only to find you need the USB eLicencer to run it.

This post was nonsense.

I have the eLicencer, where does it say you can use that with Halion?
Everything I've read points to some plugins e.g. Retrologue/Padshop can use soft licencer but Halion needs hardware.
