Super 8 vs Super 8 R2?

shenrei

Noticed I have both Super 8 R2 installed and Super 8 available for installation. Anyone know the difference? I thought Super 8 came with Komplete 13 back then but I can't really remember.

The newer one is an Reaktor instrument. The same as in the beginning of Super 8. The other was an extract as vsti.

Monochrome

I've once posted it, but to reiterate:

Super 8 was originally a Reaktor-only synth. In 2019, NI eventually decided to create a dedicated VST plug-in for it: Super 8 R2. However, sales of the plug-in version weren't that great and so the decision was made to cease development on it (source). The focus is now back on the Reaktor version.

You can still use Super 8 R2, but it won't get any new updates. Both are virtually the same, although some Presets seem different.

And now after another refresh I see that also Paule did answer…is the forum having some kind of hiccups? Those answers weren’t there before…
