Yipes, I made the mistake of buying Kore. What a waste...! (And what a PitA to have to leave the controller plugged in all the time!) Would have been better...
... Hey man, you're not alone there... ;-) Otso PS. But I hope it will work better when they get the beta version of the software out for testing... ;-)...
... Otso, From my experience, and from the experiences of many people on the SONAR forum, NI has just become totally unresponsive to their custiomers' needs....
I almost got Kore a few weeks ago as well... ...Then I checked the pandemonium at the NI Forums, wow. No one is happy with Kore it seems, which is unfortunate....
... I looked at Kore ahead of time and thought 'No, sorry, I don't get the point of this.' The hardware interface looks too limiting, and I don't see a good...
Speaking of Ambient. After reading the Spectrasonics ad in Recording, I went to the site and listened to quite a few of the MP3 "Atmosphere" demos. I think I...
... Oh, good. It's not just me, then. ... I read somewhere that eventually Kore will support synths from any manufacturer who cares to modify their stuff...
... I've been using Atmosphere for several months. Much of it sounds wonderful to my ears, and there are so many presets that often it's not hard to find...
... Run away!!! ... In some circles, people aren't happy with NI at all... ... Well, as I alluded to in my first message, I think you can pretty much do the...
In someways I understand your coment on the "microsoftian" coment Brian and it was exactly what I thought when I sat through the "press release-snow job" at...
... As far as I know their support have always been poor, yeah. ... Yep. Absynth is my favorite synth of all time, as many people on this list know. ... ...
... I prefer dongles too, but there's the obvious problem of what happens if it gets lost, stolen, or destroyed in an accident. iLok offer a free relicensing...
... The dongle manufacturers would, I think, argue that this is no different from real, old-fashioned, hardware instruments. nick rothwell -- composition,...
... Do you know many people who carry a multitrack studio and a big pile of synthesizers around in their pockets? A dongle is a key, not an instrument. Arguing...
... <DEVILS_ADVOCATE> Why would you carry a dongle around with you everywhere you go, *if* its purpose is to provide the functionality of an instrument? If the...
... Unfortunately, Waves doesn't seem to support any of the options offered by iLok, at least last time I looked. That is one reason why I tied my Waves Gold...
... I can think of software that would be significantly improved if this were added as a feature. (And come to think of it, some hardware too.) Richard...
... Atmosphere is my go-to VI for pads. If I have to slap a cue together quickly (and when don't you have to?) Atmosphere is a great solution. Of course, if...
... I'll second everything that's been said regarding Atmosphere. I just keep coming back to it again and again because it's dead simple and sounds great(!). ...
... Would this be a bad time to point out that NI "made" Absynth the same way M-Audio "make" MiniMonsta and M-Tron? Credit where it's due, people. Absynth was...
Mike, ... FWIW, I had a hard disk crash in January. I bought a new disk and had my dongle-based products installed again in a matter of hours. Not so lucky...
... Is there any other kind? To paraphrase Douglas Adams, in no language does there exist the phrase "as pretty as a dongle." -- N. nick rothwell --...
... Fair enough. And it's nice that the creator of Absynth, Brian Clevinger, is back on the Absynth mailing list after being away for a while. Hooray! ... ...
... Ah! I see. Okay, that's worth knowing. ... The Belkin 7-Port Powered USB 2.0 Hub is the one hub every music type should own one or two of for his studio....
