CA-2A ProChannel plugin free?

I haven't seen anything about that but that would definitely be a nice addition to the stock PC bundle. I bought it on sale ages ago for something ridiculous like $20 then again when they released the VST version (as an upgrade which was another $20 IIRC and I used some free "Cake Bucks" to do that so it cost me nothing).
 
It has been one of the most useful and sweetest sounding plugs I have. I use it at the end (or near the end) of my track chains and busses as a flavorator/special sauce type thing. Just something REALLY nice about it and it's wicked easy to use (which is why, I'm guessing, the original hardware unit is a staple in most pro studios).
 
So if this is indeed true... congrats to those who didn't have it already. If this ISN'T true then I would highly urge anyone who doesn't have it yet to watch for it to go on special and snag it.
 
NO I do not work for Cakewalk nor do I have any gain (financial or otherwise) to say that. It is just that freaking sweet and cost effective.
 
Of course there are other emus of that same unit (LA2A) that reportedly are even NICER but from what I've seen those emus cost much more for only a slight improvement (if that).
 
Cheers.

Considering the life-time buy-in...

I read something about after August 28th, the lifetime updates come with CA-2A for free.  Is that correct?  I just purchased lifetime upgrades about 2 weeks ago. . . would I be eligible to get the plugin?

You may be referring to this offer at Musician's Friend ?  :
 
 
Cakewalk SONAR Platinum
 
"Free with Purchase until: 09/30/16
 CA-2A T-Type Leveling Amplifier"
 
[ I wonder how they can offer this until the end of September ...]

To add to the confusion, it also states this:
 "Lifetime updates now available: When you purchase SONAR Platinum today, you will receive every new core feature, enhancement, and even fixes for all future versions of SONAR. Offer ends August 31st, 2016."
 
... Which would suggest that while the Lifetime Upgrades offer ends on Aug 31, you can still get the CA-2A plugin free with a Sonar Plat purchase until Sept 30.

Is the CA-2A a real Cakewalk plugin or one of those partner ones.  The difference is the licensing. Sonar doesn't have a machine limit.

Would like someone from CW to chime in, if I purchase the lifetime update today 8/16/16 to go from X3 Producer to Platinum will I get the CA2A prochannel module for free?

Just wanted to give this thread a little bumpity bump to see if we can get a clear answer as I fully intend to pick up the lifetime this month but through sweetwater.

CA-2A is not included free. I don't see anything misleading - the picture is there to show one of the expandable prochannel modules as mentioned in the text:
 
Designed to emulate the layout of an analog console, the ProChannel can do it all. Build and upgrade your channel strip with an expandable library of modules ranging from convolution reverb, resonant filtering, dynamic compression, and powerful EQ to tape and console emulation, peak limiting, and tube saturation.

Just updated the CA-2A in CCC and started watching the accompanying video but Ableton, seriously? To demo a CW product? Pretty lame, made all the worse by the demo track itself. Unlistenable. Come on Cakewalk, ditch that video. 😃

Just found the video you are referring to. I used the LA-2A plug-in for a while now, so not really looking for an alternative as yet.
