Crysonic bundle on SALE for $24

[mikehalloran]

So, anyone, was Sindo v5 in the bundle, or v4?

It was Sindo v4, updated to 64bit as well as Sindo v3 in the Everything Bundle.

I don't see a mention of Sindo v5 anywhere on the web site.

SpectraLive v5 and v6 are both included.

There is also this caution: -- Digital Performer might not have keyboard focus if Spectralive V3.5 is selected, this is due to DP using the old Carbon Apple Framework for it's UI and it will be fixed when DP is updated to the new framework.

This would only apply to DP 7 and earlier where a number of plugins have that issue (DSP Quattro has it, too). Anyway, the above does not apply to DP 8 which uses the Cocoa framework.

I got an email about Sindo 5 and that's what I responded to. My first exposure to Crysonic was many years ago with Spectraphy LE which was surprisingly good at the time. Sindo is also a very good plug and I favor that or a Nomad Factory plug that does the same thing. My experience with their other plugs has been sort of disappointing. I vaguely remember giving up on them due to an inordinate processor hit manifesting itself in a sluggish GUI. I have suspected that the developer's programming chops really lie with Windows and the Mac versions struggle a bit. Just a hunch.

Thanks, Mike.

I don't see any reference to Sindo 5 either. The currently featured version is 4. There is mention of V 3.5.

Version 5 of Sindo was the subject of a subsequent sales email from Crysonic. I bit, bought last week, and still await the download link.....

Is version 5 of Sindo,
the new Godot?

Here's a screen capture from the email I received on 1/3/15. It was $23 for existing customers until 1/5/15 and then $64.95 for existing customers after that date. I went ahead and jumped.

Interesting. It doesn't seem to be there now. Hope he hasn't abandoned it.

It's an email that was sent out to existing users. It may not have been posted on his website. I hope he didn't abandon it because he's been selling it for days and I paid for it already.

James, please do let us know if and what you hear back from Crysonic in response to your "so where's my download link" email. Thanks, /signed/ dude in same Sindo V boat as you

You can bet this topic is the FIRST place I'll go.

Sussing out an interesting problem right now with my system. Hooked up third monitor to my ATI 5770 and for some weird reason, the system didn't recognize my holding down the Option key on boot so I could bring up the screen to change from booting off my 10.6.8 drive to my 10.10.1 SSD drive. Solution, plug into the hub built into my Cinema display not the hub I'd been using before. Love it when they're easy like that.

Thanks, dude, I'll do the same…

Cool you found an easy workaround without too much hair-tearing-out … Very cool when that happens, may it be an omen for you for this year…

Same here. Bought the original deal and then purchased the Sindo v5 option.
No download email.
No response to my follow up emails either.
I'm giving it a week then I will look at other options.

Bolla.

Same thing happens with wireless keyboards. The Mac can't see them until after the startup drive selection point happens. PITA.

Back on the original topic... (I must chastise myself!)... I have not yet received any info from Crysonic about a download of Sindo 5 that I paid for on 1/3/14. So that's about a week now. A bit longer than the 24-48 hours advertised. However, Crysonic DID send me an email about the special EVERYTHING BUNDLE to existing users which is now down to $18. Really? $18? Honestly, I wonder what the fire sale is about and it makes me even more concerned. At some point, if this drags out long enough, I will have to open a dispute in the PayPal Resolution Center I suppose. I just hope the developer is overwhelmed with orders and processing them manually which I suspect. Still... this is pretty bogus.

[dbender]

Thanks, James.

In my experience it has sometimes taken a couple of emails to them to get the download link, but they haven't yet responded to the one you sent.

I got this email today too advertising this new $18 bundle. I'd be mighty pissed, as someone who bought Sindo v5 for $23 just after the last bundle sale, if this new bundle sale includes Sindo v5, unlike the last bundle sale that people have reported here only had Sindo v4 in it.

So I'm wondering if this new bundle sale includes Sindo v5 or v4.

"Sir, excuse me, waiting for Godot?"
"No, Sindo."
"D'oh!"
