Tbh pricing and the sort of issues you refer to have really dogged this synth. Which is a bloody great product and I use it regularly and will ultimately purchase it when my year is up. But it's made me very wary of investing anything extra into the Minimal Audio ecosystem- they are either confused themselves or intentionally opaque about their offerings and I'm not sure what is worse.No, the sale is still available on Minimal's website.There was a 50% off sale for their effects at Pluginboutique (for their newsletter subscribers), ended two days ago, though. I think that was just exclusive to that store (?).
I have to say I'm a bit puzzled with their price scheme. Is there any reason to buy a perpetual license for Current right now rather than going 1 year All access? It would be the exact same price (paying €139 right now to get Current perpetual license, or €120 for one year of all access which will give a 180 cashback, making it... €139 in total to get Current in one year, with the advantages of All access during that lapse of time). Unless I'm missing something, I don't see the value in buying a perpetual license during this sale. Especially when owning some of their products doesn't seem to have any effect on the price of All Access. Which makes AA overpriced as soon as you own anything from them, imo.
Same goes with the bundles and the ongoing sale makes it even more puzzling. There's a 50% discount on every effect, and a 30% discount on the bundle. Which makes it €208 to buy all the effects individually VS €296 if you take the whole bundle. Hope nobody did the latter...
Anyway, I'll likely get Current cause I'm really loving the sounds I get from it, but the marketing is shady as hell. When you add the complexity of what you own vs what you don't with All Access, it's getting quite complicated, and that's why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
But it's a great synth and with nice improvements of late. The mod matrix is good nice and the new mixer buss is handy too.
