Question about AD2

Anyone upgrading to Platinum gets this bundle from XLN Audio http://www.xlnaudio.com/products/bundle/producer_bundle, an AD2 bundle allowing you to pick any three ADpaks, three MIDIpaks, and any three Kitpiece paks.

I also paid the Sonar Platinum "Pre-Order" but I already own All of the Ad-Paks / Midi-Paks / Kit Paks?

I am just curious how CW is going to sync expired membership with XLN:
let say someone pay one month of Platinum. Does he also gets 3 ad-packs? What will happened with them after that month?
 
Not that is my case, but I do not see any discussions/explanations for that.

I'm guessing Cakewalk's new Command Center will make sure things you don't pay for will stop working.

I hoping XLN aren't over with making kits. They have covered most bases, but there are still some things I'd like to see from them.
 
I have just 7 of the 17 kits, but the Fairfax duo covers my rockiers tastes, because I don't have a lot of rockier tendencies. I was originally disappointed by the the key part of of the none core-elements bundle, being x3 clearly got the Pro users that would be interested in Addiictive Drums interested (addicted) so the odds are they would have bought the kits they really needed over the last year. With only one kit left on my radar (session percssion) this makes nay kit purchases luxury to my needs
 
I've gone back through them and may be reel machines will come of interest, despite feeling those tupe sounds are part of my past (I sold my novation drum station before moving out here). I think I'll just leave them on the radar. I have a few kit pieces on my account with them, until I new which ones I really wanted . So even If I picked up a session or reel I think it's quite nice to have one or two credits sitting on XLN's accounts. They must have something up their sleeves for the next year. I guess they'd also be branching out from keys and drums too, but new kits are also away of showiing a product is current and not done.
 
I'm hoping for a mallet kit, maybe a hotrods kit for those unplugged sessions for something stronger than the brush kit. Session Percussion was focused on sounding like a percussion drum kit, so neglected a stack of standard percussion instruments to fit this ethos. I hope they make up this shortfall, I don't know in another drum kit format how they'd lay it out. So I guess through kit peices would work. But I'd love to be able to go to just one sound source for my percussion needs.
 
 

Theirs another Pandiero, bongos and a cajon in the kit peices. Not sure why they spent time on a a Pandiero when their is one in the session percussion, but maybe they wanted to give a few things for when a couple of guitarist sit and jam round a beech fire. But it's a sign that the kit peices could be used for more percussion options. 
 
Maybe the'd do an orchestral drumkit, with kettle drums for bass and toms, marching snare, triangle for hi-hat, hand held cymbals :)

This alone is worth the upgrade price!!!

I believe if upgrading this month, the XLN free Revalver promotion would also be honored.

Yes

So you can't sleep either.  My fingers hurt.
 
I guess I'm gonna make the jump in the morning......

I'm really happy with getting the AD2 bundle in Platinum and have been using it much more......an excellent/ready to go/drums.......I'm sure you'll be very happy as well. The midi packs are really good and it's very cool to use different drums with different midi packs (i.e. Reel Machine with any midi kit).
 
When funds are more available, I'm looking to get a bunch of em. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.......Sonar Platinum also ROCKS!!

If you were a late adopter to X3 you may have gotten those kits when you were given an upgrade to AD2, because I bought X3 early, I was not given that option. So if you were an early adopter to Sonar X3, the above would apply. If you came to X3 late, I am not sure what you were given.

I actually was a late adopter to X3. I got it around March of 2014 (actually a few months before AD2 was to be released) and I was upgraded to AD2 for free. It just happened that I was lucky when I upgraded to x3 as it also happened to be within the window (consisting of a few months) of when XLN offered their free upgrade to AD2.
 
So, it seems like the early and late adopters were able to get a free upgrade.......IIRC the ones in the middle weren't particularly happy.
