Is Retrologue 2 and Padshop 2 in Cubase 14 Artist the full version?

Virtual instruments Retrologue

I want to switch from elements to artist version, the comparison table indicates 4 VST and >2600 Instrument sounds, and the pro version indicates >3000. Do these values ​​refer to retrologue and pаdshop. Am I wrong?

I don’t have a definitive answer for you but the number of instrument sounds would refer to all 4 instruments including not just Retrologue and Padshop but also Groove Agent SE and Halion Sonic.

I’m on Cubase Pro 13. In this version, Padshop comes with 596 presets and Retrologue with 738.

The Cubase comparison chart used to identify Halion Sonic as coming with a “Pro” package in Pro, and an “Artist” package with artist. So the extra presets could very well be in Halion Sonic.

I understand that in Groove Agent and Halion there are fewer “instrument sounds”, while in padshop and retrologue only the number of ready-made presets can differ, and the instrument itself and the settings options are in full?

Groove Agent SE 5 and Halion Sonic 7 have reduced functionality compared to their full counterparts Groove Agent 5 and Halion 7. Comparisons here:

Padshop 2 and Retrologue 2 each only have one version, so if you have them you have the full version, as regards to settings and functionality.
