With a career spanning 20 years, Frank Dukes has produced some of the most notable artists of this generation. Names like Drake, The Weeknd, James Blake, Frank Ocean, and Taylor Swift adorn his extensive body of work.

Utilizing an expansive collection of vintage synths at his studio, Frank created a wide array of sounds and put them in one instrument.
No matter where in the world, The Prince enables Frank to revel in his creativity the moment it strikes:

The plugin alone is good. However, you need to use their app Craddle which appears to be corrupted and freezes your systems for tens of minutes with beeps and crackles when it "checks" the plugins. Sometimes it just randomly deactivates plugins for tens of minutes which means the tracks with plugin are deactivated.
The following is what I wrote to their support. They answered via an AI response (one star reducted for this as well) and said they are aware of the issue and will not try to solve it and suggested that I use as little of their plugins as possible....
Testing plain session - It starts running into this issue when there is 20 cradle plugins in plain tracks with just one plugin on each. Above 30 plugins present, it freezes not only session but computer. adding/copying starting session takes twice as time long, freezes whole computer and beeps sometimes 100 beeps.
I want to highlight, that I have overall top PC and my CPU nor memory goes above 30% (regardless of whether we count whole or individual cores via CPU Z). I have usually 400 tracks and hundreds of plugins before entering any kind of issue - primarily then CPU issue.
I believe anyone who wants their plugins should be aware of this issue and their support's approach.
