Default Re: Rob Papen's Predator-3 PL synthesizer – free Pro Tools Inner Circle reward

Good question! My guess is this may be ours to keep.

Hopefully Rob or someone from Avid will chime in with the official answer.

We know other Inner Circle freebies like SynthCell and GrooveCell are not Perpetual licenses – they are listed as ‘Subscription’ licenses in iLok License Manager, like HEAT and the Avid Complete Plug-In Bundle, which are available while your Pro Tools Subscription or Perpetual license has a current Plan, but disappear if you let your Plan lapse.

Predator-3 PL doesn’t use iLok – the Serial Number is registered with Rob Papen. It’s the "light version" of Predator-3 and Upgrades are offered at Rob Papen>My Products>Special Offers:

Predator-3 PL upgrade offer to Predator-3

“Hello Predator-3 PL user

Thank you for using the Predator-3 PL synthesizer.

There is also the option to upgrade to “The Lot” –
“the eXplorer-8 bundle exclusive for Euro 299-- / USD 299-- (instead of Euro 499/ USD 499--)!
The eXplorer-8 holds all the current - Rob Papen - plugins as AAX, VST3, VST, NKS, and AU plugins.”


I’ve contacted Rob and asked if there’s a VST3 version, because I’ve got the AAX and VST versions, but no VST3 is listed in
