better double check that, I thought software and samples can only be downloaded if you have an digital subscription with Beat directly. They've changed this since March.

What's the difference with the real Playbeat? Knowing PB, they'll offer an upgrade from Playbeat Lite to the full version next month

Lets see if the keys at Soundbetter.com will reflect the Neutron 4 in a couple of weeks 😉

With the Soundwide being a thing, will it load maschine expansions?

Just for New customers, I expect?

is the MK2 still worth having? I already got an S49 MK2 with the fancy screens

There's a big banner over at the Kilohearts website that Phase Plant is on sale for $99 to celebrate the V2 release. https://kilohearts.com/products/phase_plant Checking my downloads though... they're still on 1.8.28. They'll probably update the downloads in a couple of hours.

Only 30%?

Guess this will be the next Komplete Now addition in 1-2 months

Are any resellers offering upgrades from V8?

Maybe they're prepping to roll the Izotope and PA Installer into it. Who knows.

Will they be Grid modules like the three modulation FX we got with 4.2?

Cherry Audio if yiu want to expand your modules, as there are so many user made modules. AAS if you want to keep your money in your wallet after the initial buy😂

Think this would be a contender, and a similar concept with swappable overlays : https://www.thomann.de/de/jou_play_pack_water_edition.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsdiTBhD5ARIsAIpW8CLSjl9D7Rb6LyQw8Vk2QuW4eVsl6v8HMyBmQ07sPqnmyiaLzRRWozgaAgY6EALw_wcB

They also still allow to crossgrade from Notion (full not the presonus sphere one). I don't think they offer that crossgrade at the Steinberg website

Are there any additional preset packs for it?

In depth review from Kristian Kohle

Still no persistent MPE setting unfortunately

yeah you can find the installer here, I think try to keep it a bit hidden: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/ it's only officially launched for Komplete Now subscribers. But I am not, and have no issues with using it.

i think they used to have upgrades from previous versions too. It's only with V12 that they suddenly only allow upgrades from 11 to 12

Not that much in awe with their new upgrade pricing. Especially since there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path from anything before 11 anymore

Again? Haha. I like the reason way. Especially as I wouldn't use it as my main daw. But nice to use on occasion for inspiration

with release notes even. 😁

The latest edition of Beat should come with Audiomodern Playbeat Lite. But serialcenter doesn't give a code. Reading Beat through Readly. Would be a bummer if that doesn't give me access to the downloads anymore

They should just offer Max4Live seperatly, I don't want all the Suite Content
