Dmbaer, Bit,

Referenced a defective post off KRV that everything was down to $99. May be there now however. Apologies if raced the gun based on bad info.

Still have about 10 or so plugs out of the VIP pak that are unique and very much useable. Then several others that are up to par with anything out there...comps, flange,phase.

By my math, comes close to $10  per plug with the niche ones. Probably still worth the investment if you got pocket change to spare.
 
next life maybe i can spelll and not have to edit...

Free upgrade for life and 50% off for future products makes this really interesting ...

What's the quality of the plugs in terms of stability?
Are they 64 bit?

What would be the true highlights of this collection (let's say if you would not have any other plugs other than Sonar stock plugs)?

Yes, they're 64-bit. And I wouldn't be too concerned about "stability", given the free-update policy (assuming the company remains in business). 

I've downloaded and installed the demo on my old DAW (X1d) and work myself through the plugs. There would be some interesting ones in the package for the price they ask for ...

However, I just realized there is no ACT controlability, which would be a knock-out criteria for me. But since this is the first plug in a long time that I come across that refuses to be controlled via ACT, I wonder whether this is due to the fact that automation is disabled in demo mode.

Is anybody out there with a full version that can confirm that ACT is functional to control the plugs once authorized???

IIRC automation is disabled in the demo versions.

Although the group buy is down to $119 (4297 people) I decided not to join.

I had a run through the demo, trying most modules on various projects. Although I did like the idea to have plugs with only a few knobs for special purposes, the actual quality of the plugs cannot compete with my already available selection of FX. I did notice some bugs (a critical one in the stereolizer where L and R appear swapped) and encoutered distortion where I wouldn't expect it. The presets all work fine, so sound really good, but when dialing your own settings, you're sometimes quickly overloading the plug, resulting in sound deterioration and distortion ... and many plugs lack the ability to adjust IN and OUT levels (!!!) which in my opinion should be the common denominator of all these plugs (sort of the base class functionality in developer's speak) ...

Anyway, if some one knows alternatives i.e. interesting plugs with features not available in Sonar stock plugs and having only a few knobs, pleas let me know.

IIRC these are derived from a Nomad Factory collaboration & branded as the ' Don't Crack' brand. 
Either way I'm passing on these.  

The group buy ended just shy of the target 5000 subscriber mark.  Don't Crack decided to just set the price at $99 anyway (it would have been $109 based on the subscriber count). 
 
Also, even if you didn't sign on to the group buy, you can buy the bundle anyway for 99 bucks using the checkout code PDZVIP.

Love This! ↑
