Doug, don’t

Did I say something wrong? Maybe I shouldn't have used the B-word?

The fact they are offering it also for those that got the free Ampeg sounds generous to me.   

Still sounds like PA offered options to get it cheaper than through GP....why are people bashing PA again?

Maybe those who paid for the Ampeg should complain that PA gave it away for free.

If you mean storage-wise, it'll depend on the version you get; the larger versions will come on a bigger drive.

Yes, I meant storage-wise. Makes sense I guess.

Yes.  That's what I do with the old ones.

I gave one to my wife as an xmas gift a few years ago.  She was not amused.  😉

Seems like a dandy gift to me. How big are the drives?

Bummer. I should have known. And I thought I had thoroughly scanned the group.

This is much a myth as everything going subscription. 

How is what fitzroy said a myth? I am confused.

Can you reformat/repurpose the drive?

IL's "minihost modular" is handy - but it only covers one small part of what GP does.

If you want something similar to GP for a very small cost ($2 to download the latest version), check out Kushview Element. It doesn't have all the features of GP, but is great for checking out plugins if you don't want to fire up your DAW.

GP4 is $99 right now. Not $169. To most people, at least. I mean, maybe some people don't qualify for the upgrade... but considering a free amp gives you access to the update,  I'm betting most qualify.

GP4 is $169 direct from Deskew. That is what I was referring too. When Deskew announced GP4, they stated that those who had bought GP3 since March1 would get GP4 for free. But if you bought direct from Deskew, you would have paid full price.

Here is a new one in advertising:

Just did my order and wrote to them, waiting for serial by email.

Did you get your serial yet? I am thinking of ordering from T&S too.

I don't think so...the only "sale" items it will work on are the ones that are still on sale from May
It doesn't apply to the "Latin" Libraries either, as they went on sale June 1st...

Okay. Well that will save me $29 (only to spend it plus $10 more on Liberis).

That $99 price is for (almost) everyone... upgrading from the free Ampeg amp costs the same as from Gig Performer 3.

I'm not saying it should be free, but at least take into account money spent on the 3rd version.  I mean, if the problem is that there are people who got it for cheap, that'll solve the issue, right?

As it stands, if you are getting the new version anything you paid for the previous one is money down the drain. Unless you never cared for version 4, obviously.

Thing is, it is not like you can't use GP3. Was GP3 not worth $25 to you when you bought it? Or did you buy it, hoping it was a dirt cheap path to GP4? If so, seem like playing the lottery to me.

As others have pointed out, GP4 is $169 right now. So $99+$25 is still cheaper than $169. If I buy something on sale and then it goes on sale for cheaper elsewhere, I do not consider the extra money I spent on the item, money down the drain. When I bought the item, I paid what it was worth to me. It would nice if a company refunded the difference, but I don't feel it is my right that they do.

As a few of us noticed/commented at the time, that crazy last sale, when GP3 was $39.99 (so $15 with a voucher), made it quite probable this would happen. 

I bought it for $25 (with a voucher) during an earlier sale, and while I'd love to have GP4, I personally don't feel cheated. I basically bought a pretty great tool for not a lot of money, that I'm free to keep using. I'll simply decide if/when to get GP4 down the road, depending on PA's future sales. 

Agree 100%. It is only entitlement to think you should get a free upgrade when paying $25 for a $169 item. You do realize that it is more than PA involved here. Deskew also has to make a living as well. Gig Performer 3 is fine bit of kit and is worth far more than the $25 I paid for it. I was happy to get it for that price. Would you complain when you buy a 2021 car at a discount just before the 2022 models comes out with more features and then didn't get a free upgrade to the 2022 model?

This part is the giveaway...

Please note that the discount is not available for items newly on sale

So does that mean that the code will work later this month for Jenifer? That voice is beautiful.

It might be worth doing the upgrade if I could use a voucher, but I am not sure vouchers will be sent out this month. Vouchers are not sent out during major sales and this month PA is running their summer sale.

It also includes four exclusive presets that were screwed by KEYS author Carl-Philipp Schmeller.

So what does it even mean to "screw" a preset? Sounds rude. Looks like somebody used Google Translate to translate the phrase "Enthalten sind außerdem vier exklusive Presets die von KEYS-Autor Carl-Philipp Schmeller geschraubt wurden."  I suspect it should have been translated "created" but I am not a German speaker so I can't say for sure.

Thanks for the links. The issue I am having is a little different than that described above. It what is described in this bug report:

https://forum.scalerplugin.com/t/scaler-2-2-upgrade-and-always-notes-stuck-in-performance-mode/5660/23

This one has been free so many times now. I cringe every time I see it offered for free, because I know the adolescent humour is going to run rampant. It is just not funny anymore. 

I am having an issue with Scaler 2.4 and Studio One. In Performance mode, I get stuck notes. Does not happen with any of my other DAWs.

The crossgrade price is $99 (regular price is $199), but it looks like there is a promo code MIXB50 that is automatically added that reduces the price by $50.  Since Mixbox is a combination of effects from T-RackS, AmpliTude, and SampleTank, I suspect owning any one of those products would qualify you for a crossgrade. It looks like a good deal at $49, but I own a lot of T-RackS, and AmpliTude stuff, so I am not sure what this would add. Maybe the convenience of have this all in one rack?

cool plugins. i started using the Cream2 Freebie a little. Good quality stuff. I have no crashing issues with it. But man, I didn't realize they were that expensive.

Ya. I really liked what Cream 2 did, and wanted a little Coffee to go with my Cream until I saw the price. Even at 99 Euros, that is too much fore me.
