Hi,

As in the title, when I go to my licenses and click on it, there is no downloader.

It says
PA_EXT plugins can only be downloaded from the external partner websites.

PA plugins can only be installed by using the Installation Manager.
When I click on the link, it takes me to:
https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/news ... a-ext.html

Why do they have to make it so hard.. ehh :borg: :dog:

Download the installation manager. Install it from in there.

It really can't be any easier.

It's not hard. Download the installer manager and it will be there as an option.

Interesting synth that I would regret spending more than the $20 I spent. Strange sound that can be extremely raw and hard to control but my complaint is the absurdly high CPU usage. One instance chokes my system up badly...

Yes, I like its raw sound, but the velocity response seems to be all over the place. It’s a bit untameable, I agree

Velocity is weird. It gets very clicky, as if the velocity is applied slightly after sending note on midi.

What I do like is how unpredictable it can be. I guess the tubes are adding saturation St multiple levels so slight tweaks to various parameters can dramatically change the sound.

I've had fun mapping the entire interface to my controller. It's a synth that needs to be hands on and being able to tweak all of it on the fly is very satisfying. Also nice FX, you've essentially got Blackbox saturation built in. Would be nice to have more modulation but Bitiwg largely nullifies that issue. Still, I've yet to really use in in a track but that's mainly the absurd CPU usage.

The main issue here is that Knifonium never was a PA_EXT plugin. The fact that the Installation Manager can find it proves that.
The Knifonium installer link used to be on the Plugin-alliance website. That is how I downloaded it. I think this is an error which should be reported to them.

Anyway, these are the plugin-alliance download links:

I asked the support to change this plugin to a different one, the synth behave weirdly when trying out the presets on midi keyboard, and already got too many synths.

But thanks all.
