Hi Peter , could I please ask for a summarized clarification ? I have seen more forum posts on somewhat similar topics and I have seen you to ask people to quote “please keep the same issue to one post, it doesn’t need to be reiterated three or more times in different posts.”.
However as far as I can see then there is no one post that summarize this and make it easily accessible to people to understand and further more a lot of information are lacking.
You also wrote “Some user doesn’t seem to know what they’re talking about.” , but why appreciate that then I did not find what I would call clarification.
So , please , I have no intend to cause you more grief but could you please clarify then ?

I was once again considering updating my Total Studio Max bundle to TS5Max and I was just about to pull the trigger and buy when I found some disturbing new on the internet. Post said the following , and I quote :
While browsing IK Multimedia products at a web store in my country, I saw an announcement stating that the following products had been removed from SampleTank 4 MAX and Total Studio 5 MAX.
Syntronik 2 MAX Libraries
SampleTron Libraries
Selected SampleTank Libraries:

END Quote !
Then I come to this forum to seek information and I find only tid bits of information here and tidbits of information there but no overview.
I also managed to find the “FAQ - What is the difference between Total Studio 4 MAX and Total Studio 5 MAX?” , however that post only said ,
quote : Products removed include:
MixBox , SampleTron 2 , Syntronik 2
End quote !
Then I find the forum thread here : “Sampletank 4 MAX Missing-not-authorized Sound Packs” where you are telling people :
Quote :
SampleTank 4 MAX v2 is not being sold any more. You have an outdated document. On our site the current version that you bought is being sold and the list is posted here:
That list linked under “Instruments Included” shows specifically in the current version of SampleTank 4 MAX currently being sold.
End quote !
.
So I go looking at the page that you yourself links to and I find no mention of e.g. the “Mojo Synthesis: Alien Harbours , Circuit Damage , Ring of Doom , Swarm , Vector Vision” .
Then I go to the TS5 Max compare page where the 'Mojo Synthesis stuff is not there anymore either , but when I go to the TS5 Max page “what’s included” then in section Sample Tank 4 it clearly says in description , Quote : plus the complete Mojo Synthesis Collection for over 8,400 sounds.
So please excuse me for being completely and utterly confused here !
.
So please Peter-IK ! Could you please clarify and list for me which products are retired ? And which products are included with the TS5 Max and which is no longer included compared to TS4 Max ?
And with respect to what has been retired then please tell me : Since I already have the retired products , e.g. Sampletron 2 (which I really like) , can I then in the future install and activate products that IK-M now consider retired ? And if not could IK-M then please provide a solution to make that possible ?
Thank you !
As I wrote then I have no intention of causing any grief or annoyance but I think that we all need some real clarification here !
P.S. I made extensive cross referencing to everything with links in the above , only to be told by forum software that users are only allowed to put two links in post so I had to spend a lot of time removing all the links again !
