Another question, is the upgrade price the same for all owners of the respective "____" Rigs v1, v2, and v3? I may wait until a future versuon for more to be added into the rigs to make it worthwhile?

Yes, I'm on v2 and the upgrade price is the same as those on v3. Quite tempting for me now.

Be sure to grab the ReFills which are free. Even if you don't have the full Rigs, there are some really great device patches inside in which you can browse for the devices you own. The Combinators can be hit or miss depending on what you have.

Lol, either somebody is getting a deal or somebody feels like they’re getting screwed. Patience will save you some money but it will keep you from using the latest and greatest. I try and ride a happy medium.

Upgrading to a newer Rig, do you keep your original Rack Extensions that are no longer a part of the Rig?
Yes, you keep everything.

I highly doubt that, your account should hold all the previous licenses, and updating should just add more licenses.

Hopefully someone who has updated could chime in, but I feel like it’s a safe bet to assume that they won’t just take your predator.
On another note, while your account gets stuff added. Future buyers would have to get the previous devices like predator separately

I so wish I could have waited for a sale a few years ago.
Expanse, quad and other RP products are what I mainly use :)

If you own 3 or 4 Rob Papen devices you can get a coupon from papen for explorer which lets you get all of his vst products
I don’t use vst that much in Reason but holy hell is that one of the best vst bundles :)

Cheers. Yup that question got raised and answered a couple times now. In the end I chose to buy Complex-1 over a Synthetic Rig upgrade as the new synths really are more of what I have already, and Complex has no comparison in Reason. Maybe it appears in a future Rig version, but that's all part of the upgrade gamble/game that is the Propellerhead store :P

1. I don't understand weird Rigs policy: that shuffling REs between Rigs 2, 3 and 4. Why it couldn't be just upgrade, with all previous RE included?
2. I would like to upgrade to Synth Rig 4, but it's not compatible with Reason 9. It says to upgrade whole Reason first. Really?

1. That would include more and more RE for the same price?
2. Reason 10 is great!

Some of the REs use the updated SDK so that’s why it’s not compatible with R9.

It's not the same price - it's Rig price + upgrade price. This is how it works in whole world. Native Instruments, Arturia, Ableton, Rob Papen etc etc.

Only one in Synth Rig. But OK, not going to spend my money there...
