Speaking of Hybrid 3 being old, looks like the preset folder is in the program files folder, so you have to copy the presets here on Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\Hybrid\Presets Not ideal because you can't save your own presets there by default.

NOW INCLUDED AS A FREE UPGRADE The Centuria is the most advanced and accurate emulation of the Klon Centaur, created with Overloud's Fluid Capture technology. In addition to the original circuit, the Centuria emulation offers 2 different mods. The C14 mod extends the action of the Tone control knob. The Fat mod makes the model suitable for bass guitars by extending the low end. Overloud’s “Fluid Capture” is the only technology able to capture the exact tone of a device and, at the same time, replicate the full dynamic of each knob. This is done by capturing the device at multiple settings and retrofitting the model to recreate the sampled tone. It is included in TH-U Premium as a free upgrade. Existing users can download the upgrade for free by logging into their Overloud account. https://www.overloud.com/products/th-u Free Centuria presets also available: https://overloud.com/downloads/presets 1.4.23 -> 1.4.24 ---------------- - Added Centuria overdrive stomp to Premium edition - Added possibility to toggle via MIDI the Direct Preset Recall setting - Show which one is the current setting for the "Initial sound chain" setting - Fixed appearance of standby switch on Made in Rock JimP amp 1.4.22 -> 1.4.23 ---------------- - Added support for future packs - ALT and SHIFT can be used during launch of the stand-alone app to start with default audio settings and sound chain, respectively

I have a different issue. I don't have problems with legacy products.

Does anyone else have their products (ones that have been subscription products previously) showing up as "CANCELLED"? I've contacted the support but they seem to be completely clueless claiming it's a cosmetic issue while it's clearly not.

Looks like they managed to do this wrong. I just noticed that some of the subscription products you own now (Raum, Supercharger GT, Hybrid Keys...) are marked as "CANCELLED" and there's nothing you can do to activate them. (I didn't have any other problems with this version.)

Finally. Subscription products you don't have anymore aren't listed in the Library.

I'm guessing they'll be releasing a new version of this (which requires full Kontakt) soon like they did with Gamelan for example.

You can get Joshua Bell Violin for $84.15. https://audioplugin.deals/product/joshua-bell-violin-full-version-by-embertone/

Strange, they don't call it Musio 1 anymore but it's seems like that's what they're selling (you still have to upgrade later if you want the newest libraries). Still, it's an amazing deal.

Fables and Sequis also got very small updates. ...You apparently need 57 GB of disk space to install one Fables bug fix.

They've sent 50% off codes.
