New Soundtoys plugin - Space Blender

[ens]

I have licensed it to my computer (I already regretted it because by doing so I can't move the license), I now have an error "License does not match AuthManifest", and the plugin doesn't work.
I cannot "take ownership" from within the Ilok manager, so I cannot deactivate and move it to the ilok account...I wrote to Soundtoys support, no answer so far...

Same, which is a shame because I really like spaceblender. But ilok is garbage! I have paid for plugins (that are still supported on M1 processor) registered to old machines that died long ago and can't deactivate/activate the licenses on my current laptop.. Pisses me right off.

iLok is the best ever. If your entire computer goes down but you have all your licenses on iLok it's great. Entering hundreds of license codes individually into plugins is no fun at all.

This has been discussed a million times. Just contact the developer or PACE support and have the authorization(s) reset.

To be fair, Soundtoys solved the issue. The serial they sent me was somehow broken. They sent me another one, and all is fine now.

I'd still love to be able to use these plugins without iLoko in the way, though - especially on Linux, with Wine, or even better, without.

I have 100s of iLok authorised Mac OS plug-ins on my iLok USB dongle and I've never had any problem that wasn't caused by myself as a user. Just sayin'...

I've had 2 outages in the last year. In both cases, my templates that contain iLok plugins would just hang. Thankfully, the intervals were short.

Fixes excessive CPU usage in some scenarios

Not at all. After the update, Spaceblender still consumes just as much CPU as before, if not more. In fact, here it uses twice as much as their own “SuperPlate,” even in Tube Mode Superplate is much lighter.

I've not experiencing excessive CPU use so far and the update seems about the same to me - reasonably light on CPU given what it does - I don't think comparison to Superplate makes much sense, this is not your typical reverb and I would expect it to be using more processing but for me neither are a problem

[Aloysius]

Is this supposed to be a software emulation of a Ninja Blast Cordless Portable Blender?

[dieterlaser]

can someone explain to me what‘s the strategy behind giving this out for free in the beginning and now it‘s costing 99 bucks?

i‘m not mad about it, i got it for free but i would be interested in why they did it

[psy dive]

To get laid..

[Aloysius]

Because they are weirdos.
