Nothing wrong with hate in music.

Now where would be the fun in that?

Disclaimer not a LogicX user, but I have my Alchemy 1.5 backed up . Anyways I think the import EXS24 instruments into Alchemy 2 is a VERY nice feature , way better than just importing sfz , I imagine it's alot easier to make an EXS24 instrument than editing and making sfz instruments .

They ARE Apple after all.

Aah, so that's why the Apple logo has a bite taken out of it.
Maybe you can see a worm in the Retina version.

I don't have any negative feeling towards Apple because they have every right to do so but i personally simply won't support them.

Like others said before it's a decision - thinking about it again, i have to agree that this is the only truth in the end.
Well, as an Apple customer for almost 30 years, I can only say that this is how those early years were for us Mac users: almost no software while Microsoft ran its course without mercy, and definitely without allowing us any access. Most other developers followed suit: no Mac compatible software to be found.
Finally, gotta hand it to Apple as Winstontaneous already stated: one company making hardware, OS and (refining) software leads to a stable, efficient and inspiring environment.
Funny thing is, they got so big because of a phone. Who'd have thought? And as for music, there even was a basic agreement with the Beatles that Apple would never venture into music, thus allowing them to use the same brand name as the Beatles' record company.
And look at them now

That agreement with the Apple Records was a bunch of shit. Apple computer was smaller than the recording company. Apple Computer created an excellent computer called the Apple IIgs that had a professional synthesizer chip in it. Apple Records used that thin thread of "music" to assault Apple Computer with a lawsuit that said Apple Computer was abusing Apple Records' trademark. It was ludicrous, it was a bullying tactic by a big corporate empire, and it was utterly destructive to the Apple IIgs (which was already suffering under Steve Jobs' interdepartmental warfare) and to technology.

Frankly, there are way more examples of IP law being used by big corporations to stifle innovation than to protect inventors of it.

There's some irony in the ultimate end, where Apple is hugely involved in the music business and Apple Records is deceased. It's too bad the Apple IIgs got caught in the crossfire. Much like the AMY chip for the Atari ST was lost to corporate bullshit.

Why "holy sh!t"? Is this a surprise to anyone?

I'm also using Alchemy in Live 9.2... On Windows 10!!! Or as I call it, wOS X.

Okay, to sum it up ... an overrated product is now exclusivly available for overpriced computers
and a developer, who f**cked his loyal customers is now working for the biggest bunch of a**holes
in the computer-industry. Hmm ... i think he's in good company.

Enough said ... time to have some fun with zebra/kontakt/bazille/massive ... damn, so many great windows-products ... no need to cry a tear.

Maybe, but I agree with him 100%. And he's right. There are so many great Windows VSTs there's really no need to cry over not being able to get Alchemy, though I am still pissed that I can't. But life will go on.

Anyway, back to my MPowersynth for today.

Alchemy welcomes to Logic X Pro 10.2 and Mainstage 3 (Update 20.1.2016)
