How can a full version be €129,- while the upgrade is still €199,-?
If the 129,00€ will be the may madness price for the upgrade, then they're giving us the old price, call it "great deal" and pat themselves on the shoulder, those marketing guys never fail to amuse me :puf_smile:

Since R12 still hasn't got VST3 support i'll propably wait for a sale after it is implemented, which may be R13 or whatever. If they want me to buy the upgrade now the price should be 99,00 € max. (I know that won't happen, but since R12 doesn't offer any improvements for me at this moment, i can wait)

Maybe they was supposed to be offering R12 upgrades for £109 - not sure if I would pay that much at the moment.
Must admit I am the same and although £109 is tempting I still struggle to see the value for me personally even if I did like mimic and the combi 2. Think I am happy to wait till unlucky r13 unless they offer r12 at a truly ridiculous cheap price further down the line.
The £109 was for the full version of R12 (£499) and worked out to be nearly %80 discount and at that amount an upgrade license would come in at £50 ish which is definitely tempting but considering the bug hunt is still on going and the roadmap is more like a picnic stop it would definitely end up being a purchase that just sat in my account rather than installed on my computer.

For £50 I would be tempted but doubt it would be offered that low. I would be shocked if the % discount on an upgrade is anything like what they may offer for the full version (aka new users) but I would be more than happy to be wrong on this.

I'm on R11 and it probably says a lot about my current feelings towards R12 that I went to the shop when that offer was on but only to see if the offer was real. It never occurred to me to buy it to get a cheap route to R12. Maybe R11 is where I stop...

And, no, there is no way you'll see a £50 upgrade price. They want us all on R+ so they can chain us to the subs hamster wheel.

No doubt it would definitely not be discounted by that amount - but it does leave the question why the full version was? And why only for an hour?

Still either way I at least have hope that we might see some discounts on RS products during May Madness this year.

I don't think it's really that big of a mystery. I'd say it was a completely accidental discount since MM hasn't official started yet and won't start for a while still. They caught the mistake after an hour and made the correction. We've seen similar errors in the shop over the years. I remember a Jiggery Pokery bundle that went on sale for some ridiculously low amount ($25 or something crazy) and it turned out to be an error. So these things do happen. In fact, I know one RT user who frequents the RS shop specifically looking for such mistakes and he's been able to buy quite a few products that way. Many of you might know who I am talking about.

I'm also curious if anyone was able to get a full license for that mistaken discount price.

My guess is that someone at the office lost a bet.

Well it just came out, so I'm sure the people who bought it are happy to see it's not on sale and can feel ok about buying it right away.

I guess that's one way to look at it -
Another could be that they was happy to pay full price and wouldn't really care about waiting for a sale.

Either way I'm sure it could have been included %33 discount isn't exactly going to set the internet on fire :lol:

Oh that's awesome! This is a great noise generator. Very cool effect. I've enjoyed it since it's release. So happy everyone has a chance to get it for free now. Thanks for the kind gift, Gustav.

Amazing! That only took a year and half(ish) to get the shop link back! ha ha ha, nice to see it make a proper return to the menu. Good on RS for doing that, and I hope the 3rd party devs are feeling happy about it (and forgiving).

Also nice to see RS putting their REs on sale again.

Billy, I think I can speak for most of us... we would be a little disappointed if you weren't a little disappointed. :)

Oh man! I totally predicted this like 6 weeks ago. Saying I had a gut feeling the remaining rigs would disappear. I guess there's only one left?

Yeah, for real... $29 down from $99. I'm definitely buying it. I'm actually looking at a LOT of JP REs. Matt is offering some sweet prices.

Yeah, i actually had all the ones that go on guitar for a long time…like when they came out. Got a couple of the organs which I like. Didn’t like Champagne Supernova and am wondering if Harmonic Synth is just “too retro” in an organ sense for me.

Looks like you can't use rewards vouchers on the sale, was hoping to pick up a couple of the RS players this time and finally use some reward points as well.

The Forgotten Clank Studios stuff is incredible cheap:

The WaveShaper alone is incredible cheap:

Btw, anyone has an idea how to foldback with the WaveShaper2? is it possible?



Animous has an awsome price if you are looking for some shimmer:
