Is Softube Modular compatible with macOS 10.13? I tried installing the demo but couldn't get it to work in Logic, the plugin didn't seem to be recognized.

I had the same issue. In fact none of my Softube plugins showed up in Logic (but did everywhere else - Reason, Numerology, Kore) ...until I shut down the computer completely and restarted. Strange as I never had to do this previously.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but....

Seeing as Softube's got all the Modular stuff on sale at the mo.
What are the must-get modules and which ones are skippable?

Not enough choice for me to see much in the way of alternatives, so I suspect most people Pokemon them.

On sale, but for how long? Couldn't find this crucial piece of information anywhere on their website - it's a bit messed up, admittedly. Anyone know???

Fabulous!

Haha....when they've raked in enough from the sale presumably

$37.99 (at Audiodeluxe) for the base plugin is hard to pass up, though...

It's a gateway drug

Been playing with the demo all day, it's addictive so I started adding modules to my cart at Audio Deluxe and Plugin Boutique to compare prices and here's what I got

As well as the Modular I added the Heartbeat in both online stores..anyways I'm debating on Softube or Reaktor blocks. Quite a price difference when you compare £'s with the $ here.

@rob_lee
I PM'd you with an offer selling my license of Modular plus 7 expansions, as well as Heartbeat.

Sale is until 30th june according to softube emails. I've bought most on previous sales and it's a nice package. Don't use it everyday, but once I start it up I always enjoy it and can loose hours creating all kinds of sounds ranging from basic to crazy endless drones and noises. So I consider it a money well spent. Still learning some of the modules (4ms PEG for example), but buchla and vactrol lpg are my favorites.

I bought only the basic Modular and Korgasmatron II (as I'm fan of Korg filters!). Together were for $74 which is a great price IMO. I think it will take long time before I look at other modules, but maybe next discount!

The nice surprise is that I don't have to use iLok! So, I chose Gobbler method instead. It seems friendlier than iLok as I just spotted one service running in the background. I don't know about how many authorisations are possible though!

The CPU usage is high but when I switched to High Performance power option, my Ryzen 1600X handled it very well
