Great works really well, apart from unlocking - I have all 3 paid expansions from desktop all installed, please don’t expect me to buy one again to unlock this iOS version, please think about it, thanks

Macmoffat,
They say in their blurb just above (and it’s an Audiomodern working practise, it seems) that expansions bought on PC are also then available on IOS, so no worries.
Audiomodern,
Congrats on getting the IOS version out so quickly! Looking great so far!
Pack import doesn’t seem to be working atm, though, so that’s where Macmoffat’s concerns are coming from.
Wishing you every success with this!

I have installed my bought expansions, there was no problem.
One I downloaded from Audiomodern and the other two air dropped from my Mac (much quicker). I have reservations about the real estate these huge expansions take up on an iPad. Never the less the app remains locked !!! Only to be unlocked with an in app purchase. Have I made myself clear ?
Point number 2, A future expansion is going to cost € 29- € 39, this is iOS you must be dreaming.
My mistake - you’re right. My packs also installed with no problem. I thought they hadn’t because I still see the packs for sale and shown as new in my ‘sounds’ folder, even after hitting restore a couple of times.
Hello! All Soundbox instruments can be installed on any device, so there’s no need to purchase the same library twice. However, the unlocking process for the iPad version is only available through in-app purchases, as we currently don’t share account data between our website and the App Store. While this might change in the future, for now, the iPad version’s sample manager can only be unlocked via IAP, whereas the desktop version uses a license key. With that said, please check your inbox!
Free libraries will continue to be free on all platforms, while paid libraries will maintain consistent pricing across platforms. We only anticipate users purchasing libraries that align with their genre and composition needs.
