Anyone compare this and the Model 84 to the corresponding Tal offerings?
Bought it. Love the sound. However, the plugin doesn’t reinstantiate itself correctly in Bitwig which is apparently not one of the platforms Softube tests on… 
I own all of them.
To my ear and feeling, the softube offerings have a certain weight and substance to the sound, that the TAL instruments lack.
They sound also great but in comparison I prefer softube. There is something in the sound that really convinces
I never touched the originals though, but tried most emulations

Yes
What’s really great about the Softube synths is if you own their Modular it’s really like getting two synths for one since you get the individual modules as well. Modular can be CPU heavy and glitchy at times (for me), but overall sounds really nice. I also really like VCV rack just for the sheer variety of modules available, not to mention so many being free, but IMO Softube modular often stands out sound wise when using some of their ‘model’ modules in even a fairly basic modular patch. It’s a lot of fun to mix/match OSC’s, filters and FX from the recent synth releases.
Edit: @Airyck posted the video showing the modules. I managed to gloss over that.

why cant they just do nothing or make white noise IF i use them… i dont want those screens.
great at emulation … suck at user experience/ ilok.

I believe that only happens the first time. Yes Ilok is kind of a pain. Once it’s registered and working you kind of forget all about it though.
I have an actual ilok physical key BTW, not sure if it’s different for computer licenses. I wouldn’t want the physical key on a laptop though that’s for sure.

Can you buy Modular later and then still get the individual modules for previously bought synths, or do you need to buy Modular first?
You don’t have to have Modular first. You get the modules for anything that has them. So if you own this synth license and then buy modular later you’ll still have these modules available immediately.
Obviously you need modular to use them like that though.
I never quite get the hate against iLok. I use the cloud and computer licenses only and I find it super convenient, register once and be done with it. No phoning home, no reregister after 3 months or log in to your user account. I’ve also never experienced any performance issues through it, but maybe I’ve just been lucky so far

i think it just appears for each plugin that has expired or in demo /trial period.
I’ll hunt them down and delete them.

I contacted support a few weeks ago but it not that fruitful
