I have read the previous entry the user software and I decided to check if it is so, writes (soft has nice GUI).
Actually oscillators are poor part of this software (for my ears :) ). Price is price, but I will wait for an attractive promotion db-33 and velvet (who knows… ? ) , because these instruments are still ok.

Ignore the presets in Vacuum they use too much of the built in saturation. The synth is great, I purchased the Air synths years ago & their best one is probably this. Just programme the sounds yourself or make use of the randomisation features.

I bought Hybrid 3 and Vacuum Pro for only $ 2, they are fantastic.
Very happy!

Description says it does not require ilok but installation still requires the pace installation… when I did not allow pace to install, it rolled installation back and cancelled plugin install.

In reply to Brant. Hey Brant, of course, comments are always welcome! As for Vacuum Pro, I agree that it's not the latest and greatest in terms of sound quality, but as a whole package, I think it's an absolute steal for the price. For someone just starting, such a feature-packed VA synth for $1 is an excellent deal, IMO.

Well to me it’s a no-brainer indeed. The Air-Plugins are partly broken (not Vacuum, this “works”), haven’t been updated in years since the company has been sold BUT they’re regularly all over the place to advertise for their dated products on the bargain counter.

Lately Pluginboutique started aggressiv marketing for “Air” – basically telling lies, nothing else. In a video they say “Air would be the company that released the most new synths in 2017” – how’s that supposed to be true??

About Vacuum Pro: The synth does not sound very good. Like most “Air” products you can tell the age of over 10 years. The sound is muffled, thin and resists “fattening” by external compressors, drive and alike. Most recent freeware can produce better sounds than all “Air” plugins – with one exception: Loom. Besides its age it really sounds nice and rich and is a unique synth. Still I wouldn’t buy it again and like many other customers feel cheated by the intriguing upgrade path “$1 entry synth -> $70 upgrade to complete pack (full of nothing)”.

Love your blog, Tomislav, and I hope you will allow my critical and anonymous voice. Thanks.
