WHY UPGRADE/CROSSGRADE TO RIFFWORKS STANDARD FROM RIFFWORKS LINE 6 EDITION?
RiffWorks Line 6 Edition v2.2 ($99) is an outdated, discontinued edition of RiffWorks. RiffWorks Line 6 Edition v2.2 is different from RiffWorks T4 v2.6.x (free) currently bundled with Line 6 devices). Our recommendations:
All RiffWorks Line 6 Edition v1 and v2.2 users should crossgrade to RiffWorks Standard v2.6.6 ($29 - $59) from sonomawireworks.com for the most features using the steps below.
All RiffWorks T4 (free) edition users should purchase RiffWorks Standard v2.6.6 ($129) from sonomawireworks.com for the most features.
WHAT MAKES RIFFWORKS STANDARD BETTER THAN RIFFWORKS LINE 6 EDITION?
- RiffWorks Standard and RiffWorks T4 are at v2.6.6 and will continue to be updated, while RiffWorks Line 6 Edition will remain at v2.2, and will not be updated.
- RiffWorks Standard is not keyed to one Line 6 hardware device at a time like RiffWorks Line 6 Edition was. RiffWorks Standard works with ASIO and Core Audio Devices, so you can use it to "plug and play" with your choice of devices from Line 6, IK, M-Audio and more! Recommended Hardware
- RiffWorks Standard can Export Riffs to .wav, while RiffWorks Line 6 Edition cannot.
- RiffWorks Standard supports 32 Bit and 16 Bit Recording as well as 32 Bit and 16 Bit Mix, while Line 6 Edition can only do 16 Bit Recording and 16 Mix.

InstantDrummer Sessions
You'll need to download the InstantDrummer sessions you had for the Line 6 Edition from Sonoma Wire Works (for free) in order for them to work in RiffWorks Standard v2.6.6 or later. The 9 drummers that come free with RiffWorks Standard will automatically be included in the downloads of your Sonoma account after you crossgrade.
