Yeah but from what I understand they mean LATE Q3… The good news it might be ready in time for Christmas! Those of us with wives can bend their arms and ask them for an early Christmas present.
All kidding aside I look forward to this new version and wonder how it will stack up against the likes of Superior Drummer 2.
One question I have, will it be able to write midi to host as the old version once did?
I assume Groove Agent will be released in July or August. July having the better odds in my eyes. Halion 5 was also released in July … before the German summer vacation starts.
Groove Agent 4 has no direct connection to the Groove Agent SE that is part of Cubase. As a Cubase 7.5 user with no previous Groove Agent 3 available, it will be the full version you need.
That one comes on August 20th as mentioned in the announcement.
There is also no upgrade from HALion Sonic SE 2 and there was no upgrade from Groove Agent One and HALion One to their “parent” applications. So it has always been like that and I can only ask for not another dicussion on the available upgrade paths or lack thereof.
