Re: SoundToys SpaceBlender Reverb - FREE through May 22
I wonder why I didn't receive an email, as a long-term loyal customer? Luckily there's still plenty of time to download it before it goes to $99. Too busy at the moment (and in the process of shutting down my computer for the night).
The GUI is quite a departure for the company. I wonder if they will be redesigning any of their older plug-ins?

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Anyone else having issues with this plug-in not passing validation?

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
For what's it's worth...this is the result I get in Mainstage reset and rescan for both PanMan and SpaceBlender. All the other Soundtoys plug-ins work and pass validation in DP, Mainstage, and Garageband. In any event, it is what it is. Although, I do feel a bit like a beta tester with this experience. It is "Free" until May 22nd
Hmmm....

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Sorry for your case. Spaceblender validation is fine with Intel/Monterey, though.

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Validated successfully in DP
Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Thanks gentlemen.
Hmmm. Perhaps it is a Sequoia issue.
At any rate, life is short, I'll move on without it. Err...them I mean. PanMan and SpaceBlender.

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
I forgot to update my signature... I moved to Sequoia last week. So that is not the issue, at least for me.
Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Thank you for letting me know. Not certain what the issue is then. Probably something simple I bet.
