Why was that, and would it have run in Windows 10 anyway ?
Are there any good replacements that don't cost the earth ?
TIA
"When did NI retire Pro 53 ?"
Dunno. Some time in the 2000's, I think. 😉
I think NI always recommended Super 8 as a replacement. Or the Poly Synth in Maschine.
The internet says that Komplete 5 (released in 2008) was the last one which included Pro-53.
I don't think you can activate Pro-53 anymore though. Or most of the stuff in Komplete 6.
May 31 2020 was the last day when it was possible authorise that plugin. :-( And many more...

The obvious thing would probably be u-he's RePro. If you want to pay that much, of course. It costs 149 €.
I don't think Cherry Audio would do as good a job as u-he - the Arturia one is also excellent and often on sale, and Repro is really 2 plugins so well worth it imho
Thanks.
Your work is interesting.
I also managed a deal with Arturia Sound Explorer Belledonne, Includes SSD at 50% or thereabouts of the full 799 Euro price 😎
I'll have a look at that too.
For Reaktor users there is inspiration by Pro 53 and one extended:
