If you get an ADPak at at the $49.99 price will you get the AD2 pak when it is available or do you need to buy the $79 ADPak to get the AD2 pak?  I am a bit confused on how to upgrade to AD2 seeing how the engine is built into the ADPak.

If I understand this correctly, when you upgrade to AD2 the ADpaks you already own will be updated to AD2
format.  Any that you don't own at that time, or any new ADpaks will cost you the new $79.99 price...

I'm guessing, once you upgrade to AD2, all your sounds should also get updated.  
 
Uggghhhh.....that Larry beat me to it!!! (again)

Going out on a limb here and making a guess that when we updated the installer a couple different times that a bunch of the new stuff is already on your system it just hasn't been unlocked yet.

cclarry and Mesh, I am still confused. I don't see any upgrade to AD2 from AD1 on any software site or even XLN website, even though at www.addictivedrums2.com it mentions a $79 upgrade price.  
 
What I do see is the following (see for example http://www.jrrshop.com/xln-audio-addictive-drums-2-studio-pop):
 
Important note about the Addictive Drums 2 engine:
The Addictive Drums 2 engine is included with every Addictive Drums 2 ADpak and Bundle we sell.  In other words, this product does not require any other software to work and can be used by itself (in Standalone mode) or as a plugin within host music software.
 
For new users, that means this product is an entry-point into the world of Addictive Drums 2.  For existing Addictive Drums 2 users, this product is an expansion to their collection of extraordinary drum sounds.
 
The way I interpret this is that when you buy any (currently) $79 ADPak with this "Important note" you are getting AD2 along with the ADPak.  I cannot find just an AD1-to-AD2 upgrade product.
 
Am I missing something?

Well I already have the AD2 Engine...with the Fairfax Demo...

Not quite sure how this will shake out...they're being pretty closed mouth about it...
I was under the impression that whatever ADpaks you own will be updated to 2 format...
So, who knows...we'll find out a week from today!

EDIT:  If they ARE giving the Engine with every ADpak, and raising the price to $79.99 per ADpak
I'd say that's really good for us.  If AD1 owners only have to pay $79 to get all the ADpaks updated
that's still a good deal...either way it shakes out...

I agree Clint.  But they gave me the Engine and Fairfax Demo, and, after
listening to it...that's good enough for me...
