Sadly we are not in a position to do official ‘crossgrades’ for users of the MaxForLive devices which are related to (but in no way exactly the same as) the eponymous VST / AU releases.
The M4L projects were with a different company (Ableton) and we have none of their details or data about customers or orders.
We gave away Diffuse VST/AU for free at the beginning of it’s release period – this was our way of giving a discount to all our loyal M4L users. We have also made the Crack VST/AU permanently free for similar reasons.
Modnetic had two years of additional development, so giving away Diffuse for free was a consolation.
Similarly, Impact had a further 18 months of additional development work, and thus a similar relationship to the free Crack.
You can try a demo of Modnetic to test out all the new features if you wish. The new modulation section alone could be considered an entirely new plugin. Any CPU ‘fixes’ are also to do with this long research period, but also to do with what is possible writing native C++ code rather than working in Max/Gen.
Similarly, with Impact there is a demo to download, and even an online WAM (Web Audio Module) to try out directly in your browser!
We hope these are a good compromises for everyone.
