And I do not recommend downloading files from strange sites over which I have no control.
Just drop the installer and release a portable zip. A separate installation for each plugin is insane anyway. Or put it on github. Or sell it via pluginboutique for $5 for the entire collection - that's like free.

Hello, with all due respect to Ronan, does anyone else have installers or archives with Ronan plugins? My hard drive crashed and I lost my entire collection of plugins, including Ronan's masterpieces (Pneuma, Essence Plus)
Because of this, I can't finish my work.
Please contact me or comment if you have one. Thank you!

yes, indeed. installers are annoying AF. I prefer a portable plugin directory that's easy to copy/backup/restore.

or just release sources on github.
It's synthedit or flowstone, so no sources as such

You don't have to write to me, I found the installers.
Thanks Ronan!

Wanted to say thanks to Ronan Fed for Pneuma. The layout is intuitive and aesthetically pleasing and it sounds incredible. I'm sorry you've had to deal with all that negativity and and bs from Youtube but please know that your work is highly appreciated.

That being said, I also wanted to address this:

And I do not recommend downloading files from strange sites over which I have no control.

Since there is no official host for downloading Pneuma that forces people to go to "strange sites" to download it. So you cannot really blame people for doing so. I only discovered the original Pneuma because of plugins4free, and fortunately I was able to get Pneuma Pro on another site, but not after putting up with silly captcha and download restrictions. I humbly suggest hosting Pneuma/Pneuma Pro on a reputable host like Mediafire and linking it here so that at least people can still use it.

Forgive me for being dramatic, but Pneuma is worth preserving just as Beethoven's music is.

Well, that line was probably a bit hyperbolic but Pneuma is definitely my favorite synth for sure :D

Sorry for my ignorance here but, who is that Ronan Fed…?
In music business for more than 30 years now and ever heard that name before…
Is that some kind of mythical persona? Mythical creature or AI generated one?
Very intriguing…

Ronan means “little seal”.
So he might be a killer whale, I'm not sure.
Don't ever be disrespectful of killer whales!
(Especially if you're a little seal)

I have the latest pneuma installer that Ronan released on his drive, and I will keep it like a f*kin treasure for ever.

Such an amazing synth

Whelp, Ronan Fed officially asked if I could lock this thread and I'll abide by his wishes. Sad day. :(
