Thinking of renting to own and cancelling if there's ever a decent sale depending on when.
Pausing or cancelling at any time seems like a good deal for now.
I would not pay the asking price outright for it.
Can you save seq presets by themselves? Not seeing a way so far.

We're proud to announce today we officially updated Zone to v1.1
The update includes over 100 new presets and over 50 new functionality upgrades, most of which were directly attributed to early user feedback - namely new arpeggio and lane scale presets, global step selectors, distortion and new delay insert FX, linkable oscillators, data shift function, oscillator tuning snap to grid, waveform text displays, revamped macros, extra global sequence presets, lane mute/lock and much more. You can grab the download for no extra cost to existing v1.0 users here. There is no need to uninstall your existing version, as v1.1 is designed to install over v1.0. Existing users can simply follow and install from the 'Trial' link.
The feature updates are listed in full below. You can also check out this video for a broader overview

What OS/platform/ DAW are you on and specifically which patches / actions are causing your CPU to go up? Most of the presets have a tonne going on under the hood but there's nothing in the update that should cause an additional load.

Wow, I love this plugin. 
It has become my main workhorse in less than 2 hours.
in some Youtube videos I can see user waveforms of analog synthesizers, where can I download them? Any Idea?
And it EATS cpu power!
