Which does not work at all in my experience. I lost a lot of automation, MIDI and MPE information in the process and the bus routing gets all f-ed up. It sounds like a promising feature but it doesn’t work except maybe for really simple projects.
Oh well, hopefully there will be improvements.

Well, I just WUPed ny Studio 4 licence while the WUP is half price.
I have not really got the hang of Bitwig yet so I need to do a bit of studying. I do like the idea one can exchange project data with Studio One using DAWProject.

29 Euros for me. I have V collection X

I already had the synth and tape so I was on the fence but I found that and Wasted Space and the four modules in the A-Class can be used in Modular and that tipped the balance.

I have the sub version. It's working out well for me with the regular addition of more titles and updates to the software.
They have just addressed my biggest annoyance with the ability to down load an entire library with one click while still retaining the individual articulations download for those pressed for disk space.

I wonder if they are considering supporting the DAWproject file format?

£39.99 in the GForce's cart for me and I suppose it's because I have the previous version. This amounts to $ 51 at today's exchange rates. No cheap upgrades however.
And that price is ex-VAT, that extra 20% has tipped the balance for me at the moment.

I hope there will be a free or cheap upgrade from V3

No brainer at that price IMHO. A superb emulation.

Uninstaled and rolled back to the previous version.

I see these are versions of earlier BFD kits made for the new player. I suspect this means player will never open old BFD kits, and IF there is a BFD4 it won't be backwards compatable.

Installed and I have had a quick look.
While OB-E is a real beast but it takes a little while to get your head around the architecture,
OB-EZ is a sort of pre-set player with basic controls, the sound is fantastic, I suspect we may see preset packs issued in the future.
OB-EZ patches can be exported for further tweaking in OB-E (assuming you own it) if you want to be more adventurous. I am not sure is its possible to do it the other way around It certainly would be a big advantage if you could,

Just bought Alicia's Keys. Sounds good from breif initial auditions of the presets. I also got UAD's Polymax as a freebie and 50p back in virtual cash.
No brainer.

A quick test for those wanting to use export MIDI to use in IK Hammond B-3X
I selected MIDI in EZ Keys that used both upper and lower manuals. When the MIDI is dragged into Studio One two tracks are created, one for each manual. This can then be routed to the corresponding manuals in B3-X.
Both Leslie speed and expression CC 11 are transferred to the upper manual track. Leslie speed is via the modulation controller and works well unless there is a Leslie break. Brake is midway value on the modulation cc from Session Organ which B3-X does not recognise. Theoretically you would need to manually insert CC93 value to brake the Leslie on BX-3 but I have not managed to make that work yet, probably user error.
I does not appear that any other continuous controller data is generated by EZ keys. There are preset keys in Session Organ (the black keys on the lowest octave) I have not tested if these are transferred in the MIDI but in any case to work properly it would need the drawbar presets to be setup identically in both instruments.
In conclusion the data from Session Organ will be usable in B3-X with some minor edits.
Further to this, automation of drawbars is possible in the grid editor in EZKeys. MIDI dragged out of EZKeys seems to correctly affect the drawbars in BX-3.
Other things can also be automated, I tried the scanner vibrato, but this requires manual assignment in BX-3.

Installed (I have the subscription), a very quick listen to some of the presets and a bit of tweaking and I think its going to be a winner.

Looks like I had this version already. I did find updates for Ampire High Density Pack, Channel Strip Collection and FAT Channel Collection when I logged in so the heads up was very useful.

So does the CPU consumption! LOL!
If you get this, can you post back and tell us your experience? I waited years to get this and picked it up last month and was super excited for the same reason - using it as a Mix FX in Studio One. But I find it pretty much unusable because of the CPU hit. (You may want to demo it first.)
I did a quick test with three tracks. Tape as a mix effect on the master and an instance of tape as an insert on each track and while it wasnt light on the CPU it should be usable on my system. If anything it was better than the IK tape effects. The acid test will come on a bigger project.

I see £24.95 including VAT so it probably varies depending on your location.
I may finally get this as the integration with Studio One sets it apart.
-
Well is based on a very basic mono synth. (I had one back in the day) so of course it is pretty basic, BUT you get to use the modules in Modular if you have it which really opens up possibilities.

“Score” the track in EZK, then render in B3X! Simples!

Unless the MIDI contains controller data like expression pedal, rotary speed, drawbar etc that do not translate?

I bit and got the new AXXESS and the Soundust M-Tron Pro library I had my eye on.
I had a bit of a drama installing the library, probably caused by me not realising I did not have the latest M-Tron Pro installed. It looks like it needs 1.02. Its an interesting, quirky library as you might expect from Pendle, probably not one you would use every day but I am sure the sounds will be put to a good use.
I think AXXESS is very nice for what it is, a one oscillator subtractive synth but some of the pre-sets indicate its far more capable than its simple architecture may suggest. Probably not an essential id you already have Oddity and a Berringer hardware Oddessy clone - but that didn't stop me!

I got "coupon code does not exist" - then I noticed TOMORROW in the post title.
I hoping to get the Soundust expansion pack for M-Tron Pro (but it looks like the minimum spend my scupper that!)

It would be worth checking out Amplesound too. I notice they have a MIDI guitar mode where each string has a different MIDI channel which I assume would be the best approach.
Their Riffer strum sequencer feature uses the different MIDI channels to specify what string each note is played on.
