1 extra HDX card. 1 HD 16-16 and 1 extra HD 8-8-8 .......... Approx £15000
New computer as Harpertown is not compatible ................. Approx £1500
New control surface to replace control 24 not supported after 10..... £5000

Total so far ..... £26.778

Plus the numerous plugin updates needed £?
New cabling for the interfaces and control surface £?

Maybe recoup a bit on the chassis and 3 remaining cards. £2000

Umm don't think I'll be buying a new HDX system in a hurry, if ever!

So to think I would invest into HDX and if that's the reason the PT9 HD upgrade is £740 well I just to see the logic in stinging loyal HD owners for the software only option.

Yes of course I want to continue with the latest PT features the same as I have done since buying HD, 8 years ago. And the same as mix owners did for many years after HD was released! But £740 just to keep the software up to date

Chris, you're clearly not hip to the new marketing strategy.

Without warning you must suddenly charge your clients (even the ones you like) 4 times the amount you normally charge.
Flushed with this new income you can safely go ahead and make your new purchases.


There you go.
You musician types are not so good at marketing are you now!
Silly sausages!
