Most (30/34) of the new MIDI Supertracks are only contained in the Bonus 49-Pak . This is 34 MIDI Supertracks. The total number of MIDI Supertracks including every possible source is 203. So the Ultra has 203-34 = 169 MIDI Supertracks.

The list of the 34 MIDI Supertracks found in the bonus 49-Pak are here
http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.bonuspaks_2017.htm (Note that of that 34, four are also included in the free bonus pak with 2017, and the other 30 are unique to the 49-Pak)

Summary: getting the 2017 UltraPak* and Bonus 49-Pak gets you:
- all 203 MIDI SuperTracks that we have made.
- (It also gets you all the Realtracks and RealDrums that we have made.
- it gives you a huge number of Realstyles (thousands, I don't have that count handy),
- it doesn't get you the Xtra styles, which are about 300 Realstyles using existing RealTracks - those are sold separately as Xtra stylePak 1 and 2 ($49 for both, or $29 each during the special in December 2016.)

*2017UltraPlusPak, EverythingPak, 2017PlusPak or Audiophile, these are described and can be purchased here http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm


Peter, thank you for trying to help me but I must not be explaining myself well because this does not answer my question. You are adding the Bonus 49-Pak in the answer and I am not asking about that!

Let me try again and for this question let's please leave all add-ons aside...

On this page, http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.ultra.htm , you show this,


This shows 2016 UltraPlusPAK as having 150 MIDI SuperTracks and 2017 UltraPlusPAK as having 175+ MIDI SuperTracks. That would mean 2017 has more than 25 additional/new MIDI SuperTracks than 2016.

Then, on this page, http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm , you show this,


This shows the $149 upgrade has 175+ MIDI SuperTracks but it shows the $99 upgrade as having no MIDI SuperTracks.

My original question was whether, for someone who already has 2016 UltraPlusPAK, do the $99 upgrade and the $149 upgrade both deliver the complete set of files and features? And based on these web pages it appears the $99 upgrade is missing 25+ MIDI SuperTracks.

Is this just a typo on the website or is this actually how this works?

jjj,

There are no MST in the $99 package.

Since you state that
"I just checked and it says I have 180 MIDI SuperTracks currently."

You are in good shape, as you have 180 already. If you want more, the only source is the bonus 49-pak


Have Fun!

JJJ, the 99$ package plus the 49$ bonus package is the 148$ page. I bought exactly that... How hard is this? crazy

Not true! I am referring to the $149 upgrade on a hard drive vs. the $99 upgrade on DVDs! And like I keep saying I AM NOT ASKING ABOUT THE $49 BONUS PAK!!!! It has NOTHING to do with my question!

No. You are in good shape, as you have 180 MST already. If you want more, the only source is the bonus 49-pak. So you should get the $99 pak, and not get the $149 pak.

No because PG assured me both the $99 and the $149 upgrades are identical. Clearly they are not! Or, the website is incorrect.

Earlier in the week the website claimed 364 new styles in both StylePaks and a PG person I was chatting with assured me this was correct until I pointed out that 164 + 161 does not equal 364! So they fixed that on the website right away.

I'm just trying to send them my money and figure out how to do so in a way that I don't pay for things twice or miss out on something.

Thanks Peter. So there are no new MST in either the $99 upgrade or the $149 upgrade (even though the website shows 2017 having 25+ more than 2016!)
