That was an easy decision! The only thing I think would have made the bundle better would have been including Pyst.

Agree. I already own Rev LX-24 and Filter MS-20. So my upgrade from FX Collection 3 to FX Collection 4 is $49. I never hesitate with Arturia -- great people and great products.

Well, I wasn't going to grab Symphonic Shadows but the magic of autobundle makes it only $4 so why not.

The way I read this, you can purchase RX 10 Elements and use that as the basis of an upgrade to RX 10 Standard. I'd suggest you call Sweetwater and speak to someone there. (I usually speak with Cristian and he's been very helpful over the years.)

With two other Ostinato offerings in the line, I would expect them to have those at $25 each by weekend. That fires off a 20% discount on all four together.

I understand your position, though I think differently for this case. To my way of thinking, I've been enjoying nice updates over the last couple of years at no charge. In this case, I don't view it as an update as much as an actual upgrade -- they are adding a pretty stellar plate reverb plugin that I'm sure got the same level of attention in development as the other members of the Soundtoys family. I know others will feel differently, but I'm very happy to pay $59 to add it to my bundle.

If you are on 5.2 you can already move to 5.3.9 (the latest upgrade for all Soundtoys v5 owners): https://www.soundtoys.com/soundtoys-5-3-9-update/ From what I read, Soundtoys v5.4 will add Super Plate (currently 21 plugins, in 5.4 it's 22 plugins.) So, $59 to add it.

You are correct. Thank you. Fixed.

The aleatoric instrument flash sales continue. I'd not heard Symphonic Shadows until this morning. https://8dio.com/products/symphonic-shadows

We are offering up to 50% off all software and sound libraries sold through the KORG Shop during our Spring Sale. https://www.korg.com/us/news/2023/0413/ (Good through April 27, 2023 and includes Korg Collection 4 at 25% off)

As I learned early last year, the products (and updates) are not affected by the 180-day download window. But when I wanted to set up a new computer with my IK bundle, the download window for the sound libraries had expired. $9.99 - Jam points got me sorted. And this time, I made a backup copy. (And that was the first thing I did when I upgraded to 3.5 and began downloading that package.) https://www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/index.php?id=867

Understood. For me, it may have been a couple of cases of "good timing" when it comes to what I paid. Poster child for YMMV.

My personal experience is completely opposite your description. My upgrade from TS MAX 2 to TS MAX 3.5 last November was so low one would have thought it was a glitch. My interaction with support has been nothing but positive. The app leaves me frustrated sometimes, but it's reliable. Overall, my experience with IK has been better than NI.

Same here. And when I look at the additions to 4 MAX, a $299 upgrade from 3.5 MAX is a non-starter for me. In November I upgraded from 2.0 MAX to 3.5 MAX for $99 -- that's the number for me unless they add quite a bit more. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts4/index.php?p=compare

If someone asks you how many reverbs you have and you can actually answer that question, you don't have enough reverbs.
