Hello, Is the fluctuation knob within the saturation module just a panner? I read the manual but it doesn't specify what it does. I used two audio sources and flipped the phase of one so I could really see what this plugin does & with the sat active I adjusted the this & it seems it just pans LCR. Is that what it is supposed to do?

Yes, it lets pan the signal randomly between left and right.

Cool trick making all the negative comments re lack of CS-3301 cross-grade path..............d-i-s-a-p-p-e-a-r. And thanks for not replying to my email requesting CS-3301 license transfer policy. Sarcasm? Yes. Yes it is.

they don‘t allow license transfers and even if I have bought TB stuff before, I am hesitant to buy new plugins because of this reason. You never know if you still like to use it a year later. He should really consider adding that option (with a transfer fee, so it feel more fair to him)

I can see the need for license transfers with more expensive plugins but I feel that smaller developers shouldn't have to do license transfers necessarily. 60e for a channel strip is a decent price, cheap, and the business loses money with license transfers since the second hand buyer does not get a new license but rather pays the old owner, especially with lower volume sales (I can imagine Native Instruments gets a lot more money from sales so they can afford the transfers, and also I can imagine smaller businesses like Klanghelm don't really benefit from them but they allow them nonetheless for a small fee). I can perfectly see why TBPA does not offer them, to be honest :) Also I may be completely wrong :D
