The Maddest thing about May Madness is that it still costs $39 to upgrade Parsec to version 2 from version 1

I like the GUI of P1 better as well. It is ridiculous the upgrade never goes on sale. When the Synthetic Rig went on sale for $129 I snatched it up. A benefit was that the Parsec upgrade was included.
The update was once on sale. Seem to be a bit problematic or just not in PHs focus...MannequinRaces wrote: ↑23 May 2019I like the GUI of P1 better as well.

Reason12, Win10
Anyone actually contacted them asking for it? Because last Friday I asked why Radical Kays isn't discounted during MM, I was told it was an oversight and it was fixed Monday morning. Maybe it's an oversight too?Loque wrote: ↑23 May 2019The update was once on sale. Seem to be a bit problematic or just not in PHs focus...MannequinRaces wrote: ↑23 May 2019

Seriously though, if you're willing to pay $19, then really you've got a situation where you'd only be $20 out of pocket if you just went ahead and upgraded anyway. Seems a bit weird to stand on principle for the sake of twenty bucks when you could have a fucking awesome synth (leaving aside the updated GUI which I agree is a bit disappointing)
Count me in for infuriated too. I paid full price for the original and another 35 makes it 150+. No, enough. Not when it's so cheap now on sale. I would love to get 2 but i fear i shall forever be 1.

I know it was a substantial update but it should have been free to all previous owners. They probably could have moved a lot more units when they had momentum when the update was released. Now that it’s been out awhile people are more inclined to spend that $39 on something else. If they make it free it will only anger everybody that already paid for the upgrade. As far as business decisions go I think this was a bad one. But hey, I’m no bean counter!
I'm just going to get Parsec 2 with the rig bundle upgrade. I'm holding off on getting the upgrade now, though I want to see what else is added to the bundle in V5. Rig4 doesn't yet have enough stuff in it for me to upgrade.

How often do these get updated? I honestly never paid much attention to the Rigs until they started to get heavily discounted. Fantastic value for the money. R4 had enough that I didn't have that made it very worthwhile. I think I might be all synthed out for quite some time, lol.
If you'd put aside 1EUR every month you've been waiting for cheaper upgrade, you'd almost be able to afford it by the end of 2019
Or you could've been writing mad music with it 3 years ago already

I'm not sure. I can't remember when the Rig bundles first started. Seems like it was just a few years ago (2 or 3?) and we are on version 4 now. So what does that work out to be, an updated rig bundle every 9-12 months or something?MannequinRaces wrote: ↑24 May 2019How often do these get updated?

Still quite unhappy honey. We can't all be updating our fRIGs every time and it seems a bit of a con to see that as a valuable Parsec update route. 35 will always be an insult.
