I desperately hope there will be more to the 8.5 update than what was discovered so far, because a synth update plus a bell and a whistle is NOT - and please let me repeat that - NOT worth 50 bucks these days.
While I appreciate all the efforts that might have been put into Retrologue 2, I just would not update to 8.5 if it is the only big change (while I consider a Retina Update and a graphical makeover no reason to pay for it).
Please, Steinberg, shed some light on this until tomorrow (since the usual update release was on the first Wednesday of December in the past years). Please DON’T release a mainly cosmetic update and let the users pay for it, because with the huge amount of feature requests in this forum alone that have NOT been addressed so far, it would feel like a slap in the face to me (and I guess not only me) if the mentioned list of changes would not contain at least one or more features that the community has been longing for.
Leaving these concerns aside (since there is no official announcement about the update), I hope for an update that will enlighten my christmas time, as it did in the past
Build date of October doesn’t necessarily mean its a beta… That was the date code was last compiled and one could assume it was ready then waiting for the December release date.
It’s still crazy that anyone was able to download legitimately yet accidentally from the Steinberg website before it was officially released.
Stuff like that gets people fired where I come from.
I think the link was most likely up for testing purposes and someone found it accidentally or shared it with someone who shared it with someone else. I visited the site not long after purchasing and could find no referance to the download…
btw… I wouldn’t worry about it your not missing anything
I checked through the manual and it seems that you can now double-click to put notes in midi editor with object selection tool. To change velocity you can drag upwards or downwards. If this is true that would be great. Nothing new for automation and quick controls it seems I was really excited for those. But yeah let’s wait for the official announcement.
