TS MAX 3.5 to 4.0

[robgeorge808]

I just purchased the upgrade of Total Studio Max from 3.5 to 4.0.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is? I figured I'd get some new features and when I open the IK Multimedia Product Manager there's nothing even to upgrade. NOTHING!
I reached out to support and I don't think they even know.
So I'm not sure why they even offer this upgrade when it's just rebranding version 3.5.
Unless someone can tell me different.
I figured they would have T-RackS 6 in there, which is what I really wanted. But I totally misread that on the website.
So I wound up buying the same thing I already had except it says v4 now.

They added more T-RackS 5 plug-ins which were not available in Total Studio 3.5 MAX. TONEX MAX was also added in Total Studio 4 MAX. It comes with MODO DRUM 1.5 and MODO BASS 2 as well as more SampleTank libraries. There is definitely some more I missed but overall many upgrades.

MODO Bass 2 and TONEX MAX came with 3.5 for sure because I've been using them. They are not new in 4. I'm not sure about DRUM 1.5. Hammond B-3X was in 3.5 as I used it for my last recording too. But support told me it was new in 4.
SampleTank libraries is the biggest update I see besides the couple extra plugins.
I would figure there would be a list from IK on the differences but I haven't found one yet. And nobody at IK seems to be able to tell me what I really paid for.
If it's just SampleTank and some T-RackS plugins, then that's what it is.

MODO BASS 2 and TONEX MAX were not part of Total Studio 3.5 MAX. TONEX MAX was the biggest item added to Total Studio 4 MAX and it was featured as such. The "What's New" on the Total Studio 4 page will explain what was added https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts4
