App Store anomaly part x

audio_DT

I know this has been a problem for ages, but does anyone know how to resolve this situation, whereby the App Store is offering me a bundle that is ludicrously expensive, even though I have three of the four apps on offer?

Thanks.

There is no mystery. Complete my bundle prices follow a simple formula: the bundle proce minus whatever you paid for the components. If you purchased any components at a discount, you only get credit for what you paid. If you purchased a component as part of another bundle, you get no credit for that component's purchase price.

I see. Thanks for the info. It’s a strange system, I’ll say that. But at least I now know, so thanks.

99% it's bacause you bought the other apps on discount , but scroll down until the end of the page , can't remember which bundle I bought , but the price was refreshed that way

This is important. Sometimes the price doesn't properly refresh until you do this.
But once that's done, you still get this often because of having purchased apps earlier at a discount. It's stupid but just the way that it is.

Yeah, I remember this from ages ago and tried it. Alas, no joy! I agree with @tja that it shouldn’t even list the bundle if it’s going to be so out of whack as to be very confusing. I don’t get the logic. I mean, I do as @espiegel123 describes it, but it seems like the logic of the lunatic. Or the craven capitalist. One of the two, though they’re not necessarily exclusive…!

Is it worth getting, anyway? I have a million other synths and wouldn’t have minded getting it on the cheap, but I’d need a good justify getting it (he says, knowing he’s going to get it anyway, after he’s managed to let someone convince him or otherwise convinces himself!).

I love twin 3.

I am down to only 2 synths. ID700 & Twin 3. I don't feel the need to even look at other synths really. I use Twin 3 in the bread and butter role (most conventional synth sounds...basses, leads, etc). I use ID700 for everything else.

Tera Synth?
ButterSynth?
Nambu?

Did you try them?

I have Tera Synth from years ago but don’t have it currently installed. I don’t see how that is material to my post though.

What I’m saying is that currently I am perfectly happy with just those two synths (Twin 3 & ID700) in response to @audio_DT questioning whether Twin3 was worth the purchase. Butter and Nambu I’m sure are fantastic, but I don’t feel compelled to try them as there isn’t a sound I desire that cannot be easily achieved with Twin3 or ID700. So in response to the the question “Is twin3 worth the purchase”, I would say yes.

I’m sold! I’ll grab it later on and have a mess around with it. I’ve also been eyeing BA-1, but I suppose that will have to wait.

Thanks again.
