Topic: Re-choosing instrument packs when upgrading to 8?

Hi, sorry if this is already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I'm going to upgrade from 7 to 8, both Standard. Will I be allowed to re-choose which 3 instrument packs to include?

TIA

Re: Re-choosing instrument packs when upgrading to 8?

I've upgraded from 5->6, 6->7 and 7->8 and was never offered that option.

It's a bit like car insurance.
New users have 14 days to decide if they've made a mistake in their instrument pack choices, that's it.

Mind you that's a UK/EU thing so possibly a pointless analogy that isn't universally applicable anyway?

Anyway it's a 14-day cooling off period.

Thanks for your replies. :-)

Pity. I only really needed a great piano, so the Steinways - German and US - were my obvious choice. Can't remember whether it was a requirement to choose 2 more...? But I did anyway and have never used the Harp or whatever the other piano is.

I *really* like the new guitar and would happily exchange it for the 2 instruments I never use.

Oh well, I didn't upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.5.4 until today so I'm happy with the freebies I hadn't noticed (or weren't available?) before. Especially the CP-80 - it has a great rock sound as was often used by the Aussie band Cold Chisel. :-)

Cheers!

Maybe this could be an option to buy? Like 10-20€ for resetting the chosen packs.

Where's the Like button when you need it? :-)

It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Yep, that's what this thread is for. :-) Or do you mean directly to Modartt?

3 instruments?
I only have 2. Maybe now 3 are included, but I upgraded to v8 standard from v6 standard and I don't see any option to select a third instrument.
still, I'm happy with the upgrade

Modartt changed that at some point.
When buying standard you get to choose 3 instruments now. Pro comes with 4 instuments.
You only get to choose an instrument if you upgrade from Stage to standard or Standard to Pro.
You don't get an instrument when you just update the version even if you bought PTQ under the old terms.
