I just learned that owners of Fender Studio Pro v8 get a free perpetual license for Tonalic Essential! Log into your Fender account and click on "View Details" for the Fender Studio Pro "New Release". Then click on the Celemony Tonalic product card. Swipe and copy the "Product Key" and then click on "Redeem". Now it gets a bit complicated. Clicking on Redeem just dumps you on the Tonalic home page. Then, click on "Buy" and choose any one of the subscription options. This will take you to a page where you create an account. Above the data entry fields, there's this line: If you already have an activation code for a product you can register it or add it to an existing account. Click on "register it". This will take you to another account creation page where you enter your details. After you confirm the email address, the next page (IIRC) let's you enter the Product Key. You can then download Tonalic Essential. I was surprised and pleased that it granted a perpetual license and not something like one free month. In Studio Pro v8, there's a Tonalic tab in the Browser between "Loops" and "Files" on the right side of the SP8 window. I don't know if this tab was there all along or got added after I installed Essential. Anyway, click on the Tonalic tab and log into the account you just created, and Bob's your uncle.

Note that there's a standalone version that also get installed. On Windows, Tonalic.exe is located in: C:\Program Files\Celemony\Tonalic
