I feel like buying this:

But I don't know if I could even register and download the other 4 plugins that I would get vouchers for. It seems to be abandoned now.

The Use Audio pages are still up.

You could try and message the contacts on this page.

It's an amazing sounding synth and when I contacted them many years ago, they were very easy to deal with. The Plugiator's downfall was the extremely limited interface and complete failure of a VST editor.

I am a huge fan of the plugiator. I would contact proaudiosolutions and tell them your concerns.
uncle E, I had it working as a vst plugin at one point, but I don't now because It really wasn't something I need it for.
the regular software interface allows full editing of the synths, that's all I need.

Yes, it worked, it was just badly flawed to the point of not being useful.

I'll have to try it! Now that you mention it, I guess you could just edit with the normal editor and then have your DAW send program change messages for instant recall. That was the reason I wanted the VST editor to work, instant recall.

Can you notice any aliasing/digital artifacts in higher octaves in Plugiator emulations (like Minimax or Pro-12). This is something that drives me crazy in Micron/Miniak.

I haven't noticed any. Plugiator sounds significantly better than the Micron/Miniak.

Good up high

Yep, I played one at my friend's. There's aliasing in the top octaves indeed. Especially when pitch bending, too.

One last question - before I commit to buy it:
I heard the output volume level is low - is it true?

I seem to remember it being pretty low.

It is unbalanced, so will be at -10bB reference level, so run it into a preamp that will manage unbalanced inputs. With proper gain staging it can be freaking loud with negible noise floor.

Worth reading the response at the end about contacting UseAudio:

Thanks! That definitely helps!
