Anyone got their monthly PA voucher yet? I'd like to grab the current Black Box promo but would prefer to use my voucher with it.

Haven't received my voucher either, just a couple of 24-hour "VIP" offers.

Me neither. I thought I had stopped receiving those vouchers starting this month. Maybe they stopped the monthly voucher?

If you don't buy anything for a while, I think they stop sending you vouchers.

I have a feeling that's going to happen to me sometime this year, unless Unfiltered Audio comes out with another new plugin.

Heck, missed the $49 Harmor sale @audiodeluxe and could kick my own ....

Yes, you should kick yourself. Great synth.

I had synthitis in 2018. No more new synths in 2019, I swear on me nan's grave.

Oh wait, I already bought Voltage Modular.

[Uncle E]

dang no effects bundle only for u-he, already have those synths

I would be interested in this bundle, but I already own 2 effects. Also, for the rest, I already have similar products from other companies: Monark (Diva), Arturia V Collection (Repro), Relayer and Echoboy (Colour Copy), and many reverbs (Twangstrom).

PM me for the individual effects.

Does anybody know anything about BlueLab and their products? https://bluelab-plugs.com/

They're announcing "50% OFF on one different plugin each day until February 18th". They have quite a few plugins on their site, but I've never even heard of them.

Experiences anyone?

Impulses is unique and innovative but is quirky to work with. Great support. EQHACK looks like a useful plugin.

d16 Lush any good? How is the cpu usage on todays pcs...I heard when it was released it ate cpu like crazy.

I ask cause its 39 usd on jrr.

They added a multi-core support that addressed the CPU issues. Much easier to work with nowadays.

FWIW. I don't have Diva and am interested but want to demo it before I pull the trigger. So anyways, I spent a little time yesterday demoing it on my music system and comparing Jupiter sounds to my Arturia Jupiter VST's and trying out the exact same midi/musical progressions.

Basically the Arturia VST's use about 20% of what Diva uses when it comes to CPU usage but Diva sounds much better (on my setup anyways); however, if I just double the Arturia VST's to two tracks, I think I am achieving the same sonic results (to my ears anyways). Even with two tracks of Arturia VST's it's still much less CPU usage than one track of Diva. I don't get it. The Diva GUI isn't that fancy busy. (I should try the same comparison with Pigments because I feel the Pigments GUI is crazy busy).

(The system I am trying it on is a i7 Mac Mini from 2010 or something. I can afford the CPU usage but I was just playing around with it when I saw your posts) . Anyways, the above was my findings based on demoing the latest version of Diva.

Diva has a quality setting: Accuracy, you may set it lower, e.g. to Fast. Probably will still sound better than Arturia there.
Also you can activate the Multicore switch in the upper panel.
It's not because of the GUI, but the filters are more detailed/advanced. I guess you will really hear it when doing some filter modulation or going to extremes with high resonance etc.

Pretty sure PA voucher will be out on or before Friday.

Does Wusik allow license transfers?
PS.. I hope so.

[WilliamK]

Yes, and it's free.

[Kalamata Kid]

Yes, and it's free.

Wow! Great. I know a friend that was looking at your plugins so I may offer them as a gift.
Where does one go for the license transfer?
