Abandonware is not the correct term and has the wrong connotation. They still regularly update their stuff (presumably bug fixes, as I don't recall seeing a change list in a while), they're just not offering new kits or pieces. But I still like the sound of their kits and XO, which was their most recent was the most recent addition, gets a lot of use. I find with XO I can pretty much dial in what ever drum sound/type I'm looking for and then get back to song writing.

I own all except for Simplon & Micro I'm seeing $45.15

Not today? I don't actually expect v3 out this year and maybe not next or the following either. I mean they just came out with new marketing engine via library additions - are they going to tank it by coming out with a new version? Really disappointed with current direction. I think the release of the library packs signifies that base program is semi-frozen and that upgrades will be bundled into and limited to the libraries themselves. Of course maybe I'm just a cynical ***** and I'm wrong, but we'll see... I'd be real happy if they added an MPE enable toggle to v2.

I agree. I'd rather have elicenser or iLok rather than this 30 day model...

Looks like it's 365 days for offline licensing and 30 days for online.

Not sure where you saw once a year... unless you were joking. Per web site

Obviously it was sent to those of us who still have floppy disks on their systems. (got 2 of those 'systems' buried in the garage... I'd get rid of them but I'd have to dig them out first)

An Anthology addition? probably not... Start of a new Eventide line? Don't think that this is the first time that Eventide preloaded its vendors before issuing a press release. Waiting for the official announcement.

@Brian Lawler Thanks for taking the time to update us, I'm sure you'd rather have spent it playing with your new acquisition.

Knowing how fond Fleer is of WUP my guess for the character substitution is "mothers love" cuz I know how much Fleer loves those mothers in Waves marketing dept.

As long as the name matched a current commercial product they worked... If the name changed didn't matter if it was paid for or free - no cigar/no GB credit - case in point my Fender 1 Collection, which I got it on sale at JRR after the previous GB, didn't work because of a minor name change in the collection. Maybe YMMV.

On the other hand if you've already collected this ^^^ already in the current Group Buy - get it and hang on the the serial # as you might be able use it for credit in the next Group Buy. A number of previous freebies worked & gave credit in current GB.

If this included the VSTs I might be interested…

As previously commented CDs were touted as permanent storage. I've had more than one system jam on boot up because of a CD in the drive... If it ever hits the market it'll cost a fortune until they're selling enough to cover initial production costs. Still interest tech...

Unfortunately neither. Gibson CEO had a hamster named Cakewalk and when it passed (ate by his cat) it was time to move on... We should be thankful we got as much time as we did, he was going give the name to his goldfish but once again that damn cat got to it first.

Interesting footnote on linked web page:

I want this but money is currently limited. I'm going to hold off till BF. I don't anticipate it being any cheaper but I doubt if it will be selling at a higher price during the BF/XMas sales either.
