whats the best way to find out about updates? Do we just have to search for each rack we have?
If there's an update on anything its usually posted here.
Also, you can just choose "sync all" from your propellerhead page here https://www.propellerheads.se/user/prod ... extensions

Thanks guys.eXode wrote:Most of the times it's easiest to just sync your account.
But more importantly, If you question is, "Which ones have updates?" When on that page in your account, it will show you all the REs that you own and are trying of course. And if there is an update for any one of them (that you have yet to download), it will say so next to that RE.

Huh? Am I the only one who just visits the shop? The ones that have updates are displayed first, with "free update" buttons!

Especially in times when you aren't looking at the shop everyday and check in weeks later.
That's why folks are suggesting to just visit your account from time to time, have a look, and sync all. And syncing all with multiple updates is much easier than navigating around the shop downloading them one at a time.
Some updates do not show up in your account, and won't work with the "sync all" method. Sometimes an update requires that you click the "buy" button again, even though it may be a free update. I have noticed this with at least 2 of my REs. There was an update available, but I had to opt in to upgrade to that version before I could download it. Usually when going from a version 1.x to a version 2.0.
One way to tell if there are any updates to an RE is to also keep an eye on the Prop shop's "new releases." If there is an update to an RE, they categorize the RE as new again.

I disagree, first of all it only displays "free update" if you have actually bought the RE, so it's relevant to you. Secondly, you can click and, luckily, there'll be patch notes.joeyluck wrote:But it's easiest to see them in your account as it only shows the ones relevant to you.Exowildebeest wrote:Huh?

I would not recommend blindly clicking sync all without knowing what's going to update and what consequences that'll have. Before you know it, your Viking looks different or you catch a bugged update
Exactly my point. Take a look before syncing all.Exowildebeest wrote:I disagree, first of all it only displays "free update" if you have actually bought the RE, so it's relevant to you.

I've never run into this. But I assume that if it's a big enough deal to be a big update, then well—it's big news everywhere elsechallism wrote:Some updates do not show up in your account, and won't work with the "sync all" method.

for me syncing all is a bad idea as it also syncs betas sometimes - plus all the RE's i removed like crapre and black night (eg) get re installed - i prefer to only install the ones I use.
Like the others said, just check the shop periodically and it will show free update next to the re if available, plus they do really get announced here.
Also, when you buy an RE, do you click to be put in developer's database and be notified of events? I always click that box.

Yeah, would be nice if there were boxes to check next to the REs and an option to 'Sync Selected.'Theo.M wrote:for me syncing all is a bad idea as it also syncs betas sometimes - plus all the RE's i removed like crapre and black night (eg) get re installed - i prefer to only install the ones I use.

And even better—if it would remember these settings, so REs you wish to not sync will remain unchecked with future visits.
The update opt-in happened for me just now with the 2 new updates of Robotic Bean's Select CV Switch and Step Note Recorder. I was a beta tester, so that may be giving me different update requirements than those who were not beta testers. But this opt-in thing has happened to me on other RE updates which I was not beta testing. Anyway, the sync all option doesn't work all the time... and, as mentioned by others, isn't really that advisable.
