this is a nice sounding synth and it’s free for a limited time
You need a free ilok account to activate it
NKS version of it here along with most other UA native plugins
Thank you to both of you
bump this as it’s still available, I think till the 30th
I want to be able to use it standalone though
For that you need to make a MIDI template for it
To use Plugins as 'standalone' then use a VST host such as Freestyle. There is a Freestyle demo but the download can be rather hard to spot (says Demo to the left on product page) so here is a link to the download page. Another VST host is Gig Performer. (Gig Performer also has a 'lite' version that can be had when buying from a partner shop).
There is also a free VST host such as Cantabile Lite.
I also found this VST Host: The 7 Most Impressive VST Hosts of 2024 (All Free!)
I can not vouch for any of products I mentioned above here nor can I vouch for the accuracy of the article referred to.
.
What I mean by standalone, I am referring without a computer... I just want to turn on my M+ and start banging out
No, only specific NI plugins operate in M+. FM8, Monarch, Prism and Massive and Reaktor. Standard VST's from other manufacturers do not work.
Can find the list here:

Oh and Kontakt but only some libraries.
