The only discounted upgrade products that will be available are the Superior Drummer 3 Upgrade (for owners of SD2) and the Superior Drummer 3 Crossgrade (for owners of EZdrummer 2). There are no plans to offer any further upgrade options.  

Scott, thank you for the reply. I must admit that is slightly disappointing to hear, I do hope that eventually something will be offered to owners of both EZD2 and SD2 in the future. Currently, as it stands, I won’t be upgrading. Personally, it feels like customers who own both products + then some, are not being offered anything other than an ultimatum. Either upgrade SD2 or EZD2 or don’t upgrade at all, which feels kind of harsh. I still support Toontrack for creating awesome products and totally understand you guys need to make money from SD3 but please don’t completely shut the door on consumers that have invested a lot into Toontrack Drum products.

All the best,

So, not long now. Be interesting to see if they offer that upgrade path on release or at least, tell us what they’re thinking in regards to it.

Yes, I started another thread because of this and I agree! I wonder how many of you were SD2 owners and had to purchase EZD2 at full cost to get the songwriting features? There was no upgrade pricing for us. This would be a worthy repayment! ?  

Originally I owned EZD 1 with loads of expansions, then brought SD2.0 with one of the expansions, then when EZD2 came out I upgraded to that for it’s features. Now SD3 is coming soon, from a customer p.o.v it’s feels like a back and forth upgrade process, which will only continue unless the opportunity to merge licenses is given. I love the products, and don’t mind paying something. I just don’t really want retire one for the other, and I also would like the new kits.

If Toontrack decided to take this on board and give us such an upgrade path, what would you guys consider a fair price? I feel if you subtract the SD2 upgrade price with the EZD2 price, €90 would be resonable. Taking in to account the new kits / features we would be gettting.
