Love Parsec but the update is not worth $39.00 to me. I would pay $19 to update.

If they don't have it yet they need to. Got that plug 3 years ago, when I tried it I was like this sounds like something urs heckman would do lol

Yay, I did not own Parsec so I found this to be a great deal! It sounds really good, is very CPU-friendly and has a nice GUI. 10/10!

This stinks! I am about to buy a house and just cannot get anymore synths, but I just trialed this one and loved it. Boo :(

This is the third time Parsec has been on sale since last summer if I am not mistaken, but I think this is the biggest discount yet.

Amazing deal for people who don’t own Parsec but for those of us that do but haven’t upgraded a discount on the upgrade would have been nice.

I just mentioned this in the vocoder thread yesterday, Parsec is hands down my goto-all-the-time vocoder and worth it for just that. I don't even use it for instrumentation, though its certainly capable.

If I didn’t have parsec 2 I would totally jump on it, I love parsecs sound, sometimes it has unpleasant bass sounds. But If you treat it just right parsec will make some crazy sounds!

Bought Parsec when it came out and still don't get why they won't make V2 available for a nominal fee for owners of the V1?

Amazing synth Parsec.
Just buy it!
I made this when Parsec was released, love it. External audio modulation and a lot more great features.

Makes no sense to me either. If it's a website issue that doesn't allow for upgrade price reduction just fix it!

At this price the upgrade should be 9 tokens max IMO. I've been quite vitriolic about this issue during past sales so I'm running out of hope really. Just stupid marketing IMO. Pisses me right off.

I remember demoing this when it came out. I wasn’t too impressed to be fair. I’ve never tried version two though but Parsec is definitely a niche synth it’s not as versatile as some of the other heavy hitters.

Thanks for the reassurance. It is an exciting and stressful time!

Same. Fantastic vocoder - Parsec has such an awesome sound compared to the BV512.

Not typical vocoder sound, but I am using Parsec as vocal fx in this short demo. 100% Parsec exception my voice....

Propellerhead made a video with Justen WIllians demonstrating Parsec.

https://www.propellerheads.se/blog/just ... n-7-parsec

He starts using the vocoder somewhere around 3:50.
