Quoting is not the same as editing...

...and for you who wonder wtf I'm on about, I accidentally quoted myself when I wanted to edit my last post

Who are the selected 3rd party Dealers/Resellers?

AudioDeluxe doesn't have the special upgrade price. Neither do JRRShop, or EveryPlugin, or PluginDiscounts, or DontCrack, or Sweetwater. Those are the ones I know, and would be charged in USD from.

Buying it from the user area at Xhun-Audio.com only let's me choose EUR, and I prefer not to. 29 USD I could accept, even though there might be a 19.99 USD somewhere out there, but not 29 EUR, and especially not with the extra 1.20 EUR tax that is added.

I've paid in Euros direct from xhun-audio. I don't intend to shame people, but I think that the developer deserves the full amount, and I don't want to scrimp and save for the sake of a few GBP.

I understand that, and respect that. The reason for me hunting possible extra discount is because I own more or less "everything" from every developer I find interesting. I have over 900 individual VST plugins, and and around 8 different DAWs, including Reason, where I also have 300+ Rack Extensions. Keeping the update pace on everything is hard on the wallet, and even if I use far from all the software regularly, I still would want the lowest possible price, if I can.

Edit: Adding to this I don't understand why certain markets are allowed to pay in USD, and other are forced to pay in EUR when the developer have the same amount on both. For example. 1 USD = 8,78 SEK, 1 EUR = 10,17 SEK.

Please consider offering the expansion gift to users who purchase from dealers/resellers during the first week it is available.

Thank you ! And thank you steb_osc

On 3rd party Dealers, the upgrade pricing is 29 USD (regular) and 19 USD for the first week. Both cases, without the Four Aces Expansion.

On Xhun Audio website it is slightly higher (29 EURO), with the inclusion of Four Aces Expansion (worth 19 EURO or 9.90 EURO with discount).

About EURO<->USD exchange, I have no control on that. Maybe one day...

So the inclusion of the Four Aces Expansion was just a way to give my "thank you" and to "normalize" the prices with a (-1, +1) EURO/USD tolerance.

Or it is possible to access the 19 USD special intro price on 3rd party Dealers and then (if/when you wish) take the Four Aces Expansion separately, from 3rd party Dealers or from the Xhun Audio eShop.

Thanks for the explanation Bruno. That makes a lot of sense.

Can you change the behavior of the sequencer's swing slider? Visually it is a sideways slider. At first I thought it did not work until I found out that I had to move the cursor up and down.

This was under Windows.

Edit: Another question.
I have replaced all presets in c:\Users\Public\Documents\XhunAudio\LittleOne\Presets\ with the new versions. They show up in the presets pop-up and load up fine.
But in addition the pop-up shows an "Expansion > Bonus Pack (Free Add-On)" which does not load any of its presets. This folder does not exist in c:\Users\Public\Documents\XhunAudio\LittleOne\Presets\. I have never installed any third party presets. So where this is coming from?

Hi mountainmaster,

exactly, the Swing control appears as a horizontal slide but keeps a vertical "slide gesture" because I find the vertical slide gesture is more easy and immediate to perform on a trackpad due to hands position. Also, this was to keep this control coherent with every other knob/control gesture (vertical slide).

Once you learn that it responds to the vertical gesture, it quickly becomes a habit to slide up/down. Or you can buy this :

Just kidding

About the Bonus Pack (a random pick from the commercial Expansions), it is an additional pack (free download) you have to install separately. It is available here :

https://www.xhun-audio.com/site/xhun.ph ... expansions

Click on "Free Download". In order to install it, just take a read to the step-by-step instructions provided.

Thanks! Got the bonus pack now. I am still puzzled though how it could have been in the list when I never installed it.
Edit: Based on your edit... I have all the extension packs so technically I did not need to install it. So the only reason for keeping it is to make those mysteriously appeared links work.

xhunaudio · Post by **xhunaudio** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 3:28 pm

As with the Factory presets, also the commercial and free additional Expansion are in the list - as a subliminal memento. Seriously, it's just to make people aware of the additional Expansions.

Hehe, we keep crossposting. All clear now.

In the Bonus Pack there are also a bunch of *exclusive* presets (not included in commercial Expansions), designed by Laurent Bergman and used in the audio demo : Vintage Survival

I was not aware of the Bonus Pack "issue" as well. Maybe it should be listed in the download section of the user area, once you bought LittleOne.

Bruno, do you know whether external preset developers will upgrade their packs to 4.x as well or not?
Especially the Analog FREEgures and 220V by Daniel (status) Stawczyk.
Daniel, in case you read this... feel free to chime in

I just purchased the upgrade from Xhun audio. Where are the bonus presets? I do not see them in the download or in the VST

Does anyone know when it will be available via JRR etc. - Not sure if I would really need the extra presets, even it is a nice Bundle.
