Royal mail doesn't deliver to the states so it just means that they can only track it so far. Once they pass the package off to the USPS it's out of their hands and the tracking number is no longer valid.
Question is, how long will it take the USPS to get it out to us?

What is the upgrade price in USD? (I'm one of the no-serial-number crowd and it's not showing me the price on the website)

Hi there,
got it already, but it crashed on start up (I am on a Mac here).
I did not find the solution in the M-Tron Pro FAQs, but after some searching, I found the reason in the VSM-FAQs (same engine, obviously) - there is a font missing that needs to be installed by hand. Detailed instructions can be found in the VSM-FAQs.
Now it works like a charm!
I hope this helps, if you encounter the same problem!
All the best,
TQ

Just collected M-Tron Pro and VSM from the Post Office and installing now. Can't wait for it to finish copying the files.

My upgrade was $76.16 on 10/30. Probably a few cents less than that now.agincourtdb wrote:What is the upgrade price in USD? (I'm one of the no-serial-number crowd and it's not showing me the price on the website)

Got my copy today! Super cool. You can do a lot with this bad boy, and the extra sounds are awesome, as are the remastered banks. Totally worth the upgrade, and worth buying new too. There's some really cool presets in there that get you some not very tron-like, but still really cool sounds (awesome pads). The filters sound excellent, as do the other effects, and the 1/2 time and reverse options are totally fun.
Now some feature requests in case anyone from G-Media pops in:
1. That the Optigan rhythms have a "free-running" mode. Remember, those samples ran constantly in the background in the real unit as they all played from the same spinning disc! This would allow you to change the key in the middle of a rhythm and still have everything playing in time. The samples would start where the last one was left as opposed to playing back from the beginning. This would use a lot more CPU (as all the samples would need to run constantly in the background), but would give you the uber-authentic Optigan experience.
2. Double-click to reset a knob or slider value to it's default position. I expect every knob does this on every synth at this point. It's a huge time saver.
3. Move the save knob away from the preset selector down arrow. I hit save by mistake three times already (that's partially my left handed mouse skills in action).
4. Filter LFO - right now the LFO appears to control only the osc's (which is awesome), but it would be cool if that could be routed to the filter too.
5. More Optigan sounds in the future - Give us more rhythms, but some of the leads too!

I don't have M-Tron Pro (it's on my list), but have you tried ctrl-clicking on the knobs to reset them? I'm pretty sure that works in the other G-Force synths I have (MiniMonsta, impOscar). Just a suggestion...Funkybot's Evil Twin wrote: 2. Double-click to reset a knob or slider value to it's default position. I expect every knob does this on every synth at this point.
