    I believe it's available (or will be within the coming days) from the NI shop.

    Cheers

    I'm not sure if there will be a d/l update-there's 150 Mb of samples for the new banks.

    The question I have is - I"ve been running ABSynth on PC, but have just
    purchased a new G5 Mac. I want to run the update on my Mac, not my PC.

    If the ABS3 installer looks for a previous installation, I don"t have
    one on the Mac, as all my installs have been on PC.

    I can"t install ABSynth from my original install disks on the Mac
    either, as I have "before OSX" version install disks and can"t put the
    older version on the Mac.

    I"ve written NI several times, and gotten no answers so far. Am I going
    to have to purchase the FULL version of ABS3 to run it on the Mac? I"m
    more than willing to de-authorize the PC version if I have to.

    So, how can I handle this?

    dunno, but i think the registration tool will make sure that you already had an authorized abs2 version. the abs3 serial makes clear that this is an upgrade-version and then this will enable you to authorizeit, if an authorized version of abs2 will be found on the registration site...

    and btw, i also don´t think it´s a downloadable upgrade. i was able to get it at my dealer today though and it looks good, installation and authorization went well and smooth and first tests as standalone and in logic7 (OSX 10.3.7) show that it seems to work. slows my PB G4800 down though, takes some hundred milliseconds to load another preset from within a bank, but hey, i want to use it on my G5 where i´ll try it tomorrow....
    so far so good. nice sounds, definitly and good to have the UI´s combined in ONE UI.
    i´d like to be able to have a virtual keyboard in all UI-windows though, couldn´t find an option for that so far, but maybe it´s hidden anywhere, haven´t read a line of the manual so far...

    yeah you will to register your full version of Absynth 2 on your G5 before installing the Absynth 3 update Les. The Absynth licence (and registration) only allows you to have two licences, but once you try and register your third you then get the option to 'deaathorise' the installation on one of your windows boxes and then you can install on your G5.
