Available now: Tone2 Saurus4 analog synthesizer

Will that replace or work along side the current version?

No it won't replace the full version

I just wish (for all Tone2 synths) that they put the "Exit" button on the top left of the browser, so no movement for the mouse, but it is ok if intended as exercise for lazy persons like me

NO !! It DOES REPLACE the current 3.x version installed and reverts to demo mode !


And when I tried reinstalling the previous 3.x version I got a message that my installation was corrupted and my DAW immediately crashed.

UPDATE: reinstalled once more and successfully restored my 3.x installation and full working license.

Oh really? I should have explained that I only installed the VST2 version in Windows 11. I haven't installed the demo in M1 Mac Ventura as I'm waiting for the stable release. Sorry if it's different on your computer.

In my PC, it puts SaurusDemo beside the Saurusx64. It sometimes crashes Live 11 when trying to replace it with another instrument, but I couldn't replicate it. I would send info to Tone2 support if I can replicate the crash.

Actually I'm on Mac m1 & Ventura, so I guess it was a good call not to install it on your main system.

Oh I see! I do the installations first on Windows because it is easier to uninstall and delete apps and plugins in case I don't want them.
In Mac, mostly, there are no good uninstallers, so I need to delete every VST/VST3 and AU manually. Thanks for the feedback. I think I will wait for the full version then to install on my Mac.
