I’d check your Audiothing account. I don’t have Reels, but can see some deals in my account, because I’ve purchased other products. These deals aren’t really promoted publically though. I recall that when Wires launched, that there was a deal for owners of Reels, but not sure if still current.

[Edit] it looks like the cross grade on Plugin Boutique From Reels to Wires has been discounted further (only $18)! Could be a mistake by PB.

I can't see this Reels-to-Wires crossgrade. Do you have a link? Is it only if you purchased Reels at PB?

It looks like the price has gone to $29 now (crossgrade from Reels to Wires at Plugin boutique).

Yeah looks like I got lucky with the PB pricing too, Alborosie Dub Station crossgrade has leapt from £32 to £50.

Waves is having some of their best plugins available for $29.99 ($27 with code YNY23).

https://www.waves.com/best-sellers

I am posting this only because a lot of these plugins are usually available for $35 or so.

Also, if you buy 3 plugins, you get 2 free plugins.
(https://www.waves.com/free-plugins-bund ... april-2021). They have recently added Kaleidoscopes to the list of free plugins and it sounds excellent IMO.

Can anyone confirm if AIR Structure works on the current version of Windows 10? There seems to be some conflicting information.

Well https://support.pluginboutique.com/hc/e ... nload-Area does not have a download for a Windows version of Structure so I would assume not.

AIR Music Structure 2 and Strike 2 are currently only $15 each. Probably their best price?

I wonder if Structure 2 is worth getting if you already have Xpand 2 (and Kontakt)?

Also, any particular advantages of getting Strike 2 if you already have EZD2, SD3, AD2, Battery 4?

My intuition says they might remain unused, but I am seeing that I can complete my AIR Music instruments collection (most) and get done with them.

Looks like they removed the iLok requirement for the standalone version of Structure. I have Structure under Air Instrument Expansion Pack 3 Complete, which still uses iLok. I believe the download for Structure from that pack contained a really old version of iLok which caused major problems. That is probably why there is no download for Windows in the link I posted.

That said, I do have Structure installed and it is running fine under the latest version of Windows.

I just bought Structure from JRRShop and it does still use iLok (the software auth, not the key). It does sound like it is an issue with an old verion of iLok that is packed with some of the installers.
I am downloading the 30+ GBs now, I will see if the installer overwrites the current version of iLok and will follow up once I am done.

That's misleading. What they removed was the key (dongle), not the iLok. It still installs the PACE software, which is the same for all iLok systems.

Indeed. iLok has always been there, just that it is a bit more convenient with software iLok license manager and computer based authorization. It still sucks (especially with $25 iLok transfer fee), but these Air instruments do have potential, and for price this cheap, one would hardly bother about selling them.

Therefore, I also bought Structure 2 and Strike 2, and they are quite good. The GUI is small and a bit buggy when dragging or opening Editor window (Structure 2) here in FL Studio on Windows 10, but they are working just fine. My only wish with Air is scalable GUIs, but I know, that's not going to happen.
