regarding a quirk relating to installing the Hybrid update.

Or simply copy it here:

"The Hybrid 3 installer does not currently include an audio units version for use in Logic, or a vst version for use in Cubase. It is only an AAX version. This is despite the promo ad on the AIR site saying that this IEP upgrade introduces AU and VST versions.

All the other IEP instrument do include AU and VST versions.

However ..... there is also a link provided when you purchase the upgrade to a newer Hybrid 2 installer. THAT installer installs AU and VST versions of Hybrid. If you install it after installing Hybrid 3, it does not overwrite the Hybrid 3 AAX install, it just adds Hybrid 2 AU and VST versions.

None of this is mentioned in any of the blurb on the AIR site. Initially, I ignored the Hybrid 2 installer link, assuming it was for people who had obtained the free IEP upgrade without buying Hybrid 3, but then I thought, let's just see what happens when I install it. Lo and behold, we now have Hybrid in AU and VST formats.

I've not looked carefully, so it is even possible that AIR had mistakenly called the AU/VST installer 'Hybrid 2' when it might actually also be Hybrid 3, just for those formats. It wouldn't be the first time AIR products have reported the wrong version number. But I guess not.

On a plus note for all those people who had no end of trouble last time with installer DVDs ... I took up the option to buy the $99 option of a hard drive with all the installers. It arrived promptly, well packaged, a nice slimline 500gb USB3 WD My Passport Ultra. Everything installed from there just fine. Hell, there was even enough space to copy across my previous downloaded installers in case I ever need them, along with all my PT10/11 installers, my Cubase and Wavelab installers, and all my 3rd party plugin installers, so that the drive is now a 2nd full backup of all my important installers. Nice"
