Bernie,

You can still buy a brand new v-Machine for $149 USD. Free worldwide shipping. This is where I bought it a few years ago. https://gearstation.com.au/products/sm-v-machine-vst-hardware-player

Yes, it used to be sold for $600. Good thing that I didn't pick it up at NAMM when they offered me a dicount. Since you have your VB3 license, all you have to do is enter your license as the plug-in is already loaded in the machine.

I might add that you will see some vendors selling the vMachine combined with SM Pro Audio Classic Keys Collection fro $299. That is an excellent deal, too if you want the plug-ins. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8...Collection.html

After I bought my v_Machine, I learned about the Keys Collection, but nobody carried it anymore until I saw a dealer in Oregon listing it on eBay. I jumped on it and bought it for around $120. The software itself is worth $500-600 I didn't care for other analog sounds, but I wanted Key Performer, GForce Virtual String Machine(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBTnyxmRzTk), and Lounge Lizzard Session(electric pianos). I run these apps in the v-Machines and my hybrid notebook.
