That's because MPS3 only includes version 7. No doubt there'll be a MPS 3.1 containing RX8 Standard at some point.

Back to bargains. NI has confirmed that if you buy/register a version of Komplete 12 during September, you will get a free update to Komplete 13 of the same kind.

What makes this a bargain is that some sellers who have box versions of Komplete 12 updates/upgrades are selling them at half price. Unfortunately, I did not find any US sellers with the boxed edition. They are mostly European/UK resellers like Thomann - https://www.thomannmusic.com/native_ins ... update.htm

Good deal but includes shipping. However, you don't have to wait until next summer to get the update/upgrade.

how did NI confirm this?

Via online chat with multiple people.
Plus there are half a dozen online retailers clearly stating there is a grace period so if you buy the boxed product from them and register this month you will get a free Update to 13 on October 1st.

Don't think I'll be able to resist this one!

For only $34.99 (instead of $175), get LECTOR – a tremendously versatile VST plugin by Waldorf!

Lector puts in your hands a sonic toolset for a wide range of diverse applications. Just about anything goes, from distorting the human voice to adding subtle harmonies to lead vocals and getting creative with movie soundtracks.

Robot voices, whispering strings, talking drum loops, rhythmic pads, the resonant ringing of bells, dripping water – the possibilities are all but infinite. With a quick tweak here and there, the Lector turns any incoming signal into novel sounds and effects.

Limited time offer, don’t miss out.

Has anyone who’s registered the Plugin Boutique free RX 7 Elements code from last month found that it’s since been upgraded to RX 8 Elements?

Very likely not considering the license key explicitly states RX7, but I would like to know as well since I haven't used my key.

In the past RX6 Elements licences bought just before 7 came out after registration as RX 7 Elements licences. So the number in the key, in itself, isn’t enough to know

Pretty sure version 4 is coming because they are saying you get that upgrade free if you buy 3 now.

Great freebie, probably very similar to Pulsar Audio's Smasher freebie from last year, pretty much the same compressor and setting (of course no two units or software modelers alike).

From the website, I found this pretty funny "The Monster has been called “the best software compressor ever” by more than one top engineer..." a whole more than one out of the hundreds huh?

Revival is very very good, can add shine and some heft with its two dials from what I remembered, just didnt like that they were stuck in the Slate ecosystem so ended up deleting them, but they really were very useable. Thanks Leo for putting the serials and all the info here.

Doesn't this require an iLok? I believe I downloaded this once but couldn't get it to work...

[Insanelysane]

Redeems through ilok, yes, and does appear to require a physical dongle:
"Perpetual "Buy Now" individual plugin licenses require an iLok 2 or iLok 3 USB dongle."
Their All Access subscription does not require dongle, can be used as Cloud ilok.

I mean revival specifically, also says on the product page:
*Requires An iLok 2 or iLok 3.

Just checked again, both freebies are the same license and require a physical iLok.

It tells me that all of the iLok activation's have been used.

I just received confirmation of the free KOMPLETE 12 UPDATE to KOMPLETE 13 UPDATE from NI support. Since I purchased boxed v12 in September (which should arrive this week), I'll get v13 in October via Native Access. Thanks again DZ!!
