So, the Audio Batch Converter, that I once bought as an Addon will now be Subscription only?

Do I understand what's said here correctly? Does the Audio Batch Converter go into Subscription only mode?

For now it is still available in my FSP 8 menu, as it should be, going by what's stated here:

When is this supposed to change?
EDIT:
I know why it is still available to me. My account has Pro+ Subscription status, although I would never ever do DAW Subscription. Must be a derived error from my beta tester time. I bought a perpetual license "extension" on 07.08.2025, but it must have been added to the Pro+ Subscription somehow... What a mess. Let's just hope I'll only loose the Batch Converter and not end up with a not working DAW in August.. again.

Nope. It's part of FSP 8. Go to the Studio Pro menu item. The sixth entry from the top is the Audio Batch Converter.

So Gregor was mistaken in his video?
Would you mind checking at https://my.fender.com/account/plan if you do have Pro+ Subscription?

 

[TimC340]

I don’t have any subscription, nor am I within a year of purchasing S1/SP.

Edit: Having seen the video now, it may be that I have 'grandfather rights' having had S One since V4, and the ABC wasn't part of the Plus package in the past as far as I recall.

Yes. He is mistaken. It has been added as a part of FSP8. I think Gregor was just confused, because there are a LOT of features that are + only, most of them being loops and FX. As far as I know, most of the instruments are now included in FSP8, including the Grand Piano and the full orchestra.

Yes. He is mistaken. It has been added as a part of FSP8.

Even better: It has been added as a part of PSO7. Together with the Presence Editor, and a bunch of sound libraries (Orchestra, Grand Piano, …)

I couldn't remember if it was 7 or 8 when that came out. Thanks for the correction!

It wasn‘t meant to correct you. But if someone finds this thread, he/she can enjoy these bonus features without upgrading to v8.

Oh, I didn't feel you were "correcting me" in a bad / negative way. You just corrected a fact. No offense was taken at all! Thank you again!
