If your planning doesn't come near the sales figures...maybe it's overprized.
Not a problem if you have a secondary income of course.
I think maybe you misunderstood! I meant we're not going to run loads of discounts in the future, so this is a chance to get it discounted. We believe in the product and want to focus on providing quality and stability rather than just permanently having it on sale.

The launch has gone great and sales are spot on so far :)

Ok. If you're not lying, i congratulate you. :tu: :party:

I myself have learned which new plugins will be used a couple of hours and then sit unused in a folder, the rest of a daws lifespan.
But, plugins with a prize under 50 euro is a different thing. I would buy those if they seem interesting to me, because that prize wouldn't impact so hard on my savings.
.
PS. Either i buy a full plugin or refrain, the "lite" ones is out of the question.
PPS. Couldn't be wrong to learn about customers. Even the parlous ones like me.

Thanks Saffran - I'll refrain from trying to prove either way :)

I agree re. the 'lite' version. I'd really want people to experience the full thing - everything in there is there for a reason so it just seems a shame to degrade your own work!

It's also great to hear how you think about purchasing. Filament is admittedly outside of the impulse buy arena, but I think it's the right call for it, and given our plans for it down the road...

Hey everyone,

The next of our weekly post-launch patches is up. We've added a video here explaining the changes:



The main changes are:

- Crisp UI scaling when the UI is zoomed. This has to be enabled in settings. We had a lot of issues around zoom problems on Windows so just to be sure they don't come back with this patch we've made it optional so if there are issues we don't interrupt workflows. Would love it if you could enable it and report back any problems or if it's solved the blurriness effectively.

- Articulation Map imports. We've added a small popup that shows how the imports have been mapped and give you the option to save the import or load directly into the instrument.

- Updating Presets You can now update a preset rather than just save. The exception to this is factory presets which you can't change. This is just so I can put out fixes or tweaks to those without overwriting all your work. There's also now a filter between user created content and factory content.

Thanks to those that flagged the issues.

Any more issues press the report an issue button at the bottom of the plugin.

Also welcome everyone who got in just before the sale finished! We had our best night, so clearly you're all procrastinators...
