When I got the PAB professional sample set, at some point there was a promise that it would be updated. But this is the first time I see news and actual details about this update.
yes a new version is coming; already some audio on ContreBombarde. Improved acoustics, and many other improvements. It's a brand new version. It's in beta testing right now. Should be out by the time you forgot what I wrote here....
Yes, PAB 3.0 is almost ready, all editions are entirely reworked from the raw recordings. 10 years have passed so it was inevitable to do it. More information will be available soon.
