How cheap is cheap? Did you do the $29.99 + $10.00 for the tuner - $25 monthly voucher = $15? Is there an even cheaper way?
If you want the Eos 2 verb, it plus this plus their sale vouchers minus $25 voucher is ~$12/plugin. That is what I did.

that's a crazy deal and damn. can't find my $25 voucher.

They're not unique, it's a single code for 25$

Just demoed Tantra 2 - why is the GUI/fonts so blurry? I can barely read them...
Is this some kind of bug ?

wtf is wrong with the GUI. Its horrendous.

On Normal sizing on 1080p I cannot read the smaller writing at all. Anyone else get this ?

Who do you go to for support, PA or DS ?

EDIT : Just had a response from Dimitry, he's going to update the GUI and is aware of the problems. Sorry but that's pretty weird, was it not tested on a 1080p or less monitor ?

None. Just a worse GUI.
I won't update (feels like a downgrade)

None.

There are new filters.

And the GUI isn't that bad.

I just got the update and personally love the GUI. I found an old email from Dimitri outlining that it was a complete re-write to keep the processing and animations speedy as well as a reworking and big improvement in the intelligence of the randomization features. Glad very that I updated now…

Compared to v1 it looks horrible especially on my old display

It is when you cant actually read what is written. But as he told me, a fix for that is coming.

Tantra 2 is one of the worst GUIs ever released in the last ten years, perhaps longer. I say that as a huge Dmitry Sches fan and a long time owner of Tantra 1 which is gorgeous in my opinion.

I wouldn't use Tantra 2 if it was free so it's good to hear Dmitry has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix.

So only new filers and the new gui are new in v2?

I wasn't into the GUI when it was released and I compared it to Tantra 1, but actually using it on my 4K display I've come around. I think I'd like the option to skin it either way, but this new look is functional and I've had no issue using it, no blurry text or anything like that at any GUI scaling. Must be DPI-related as far as that goes, though apart from that there is of course "no accounting for taste" as to which somebody might prefer.

I do like the filters, I think it shares a strength with Thorn in having nice filter behavior. I am very, very pleased with this purchase.

I have the same experience as you and also have had quit a lot of good success with the randomizations as well.

Dmitry Sches Tantra 2 is coming tomorrow
