Exactly my thoughts about the pricing. Cheap versions are not that usable, the expansive version is too expansive from all points of view. But I really like the subscription-reward scheme. You're losing 20 bucks a year, but the rest of the subscription money is being saved up towards the synth purchase. I like that. Yep, with cheaper synth that purchase might happen sooner, but if they continue to be as active and as community friendly as they are now, then I'm actually OK with sending them that 10 bucks a month. I've spent more on Patreon supporting YouTubers than this in the past.epiphaneia wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 10:01 pmMost of those who are only interested in the synth and don´t need the VST/AU effects will likely find 350 Eur to be too expensive ... on the other hand PP relies on the 3 effects lanes heavily so it makes no sense to buy the 169 Eur version without effects either.
I´d guess that sales would go up quite a bit if they included all effects in a "Phase Plant intenal use only" version in PP´s base price, and then offered a $129 upgrade to VST/AU versions of all effects. But their mileage may vary - if it works for them, good for them.
I definitely agree on the filters. I brought it up in the chat, got no comment on it. I think poor guy already heard this complain a lot. Andrew Simper's filters would be indeed awesome, but even Steve Duda had to license them. I think it might influence pricing of PhasePlant even more.
