The installer states it's a 30 trial.

The installer states it's a 30 trial.

Hmmm, it didn't here, unless I missed it

When intalling the license agreement which is on the second page of the installer it states :
Usage
You may use this software for a trial period of thirty days, at no cost to you, to determine if it meets your needs. If you wish to continue to use this software after the trial period, you are expected to register it and pay the applicable registration fee.

I'm not sure how scientific this 'test' was, but I've just altered the date on my 'puter to May 25 2007 and Technotoys still runs ok.

maybe the author forgot to change the license agreement, although I'm sure the Technotoys stuff used to come as seperate installers.It seems a bit strange to compile all the programs in one installer and then not change the agreement.

I don't remember this becoming free but then... Originally this release allowed everyone who bought one program to get the lot- this really is a whole package of great standalone gear.

If it's really free I expect it won't object to being installed with one of those date confusing installer programs. For free releases ONLY of course :)

news
8/31/02: A letter to all Techno Toys customers from Jim Johnson:

I am sorry to announce the end of the Techno Toys line of products. The Techno Toys project has become increasingly costly to me, and the time has come to shut the operation down.

If you're a registered user, you should have received an email explaining how to download the final version. If not, contact me and I'll send you the instructions. Please include your registration info in your request. Please note that the download is only available to registered users!

Special note for Tech TV viewers: XG-909 is no longer available for registration. If you do not own a registered copy, I'm sorry, but I cannot provide one; please don't ask. The Tech TV spot was created and scheduled without any input from me; I am not responsible for it.

Thanks to everyone who has shared music made with my programs over the years. Nothing gives me a buzz like listening to music that I helped create, even indirectly. Also thanks for the kind emails and other contacts. That's what made it all worthwhile.

Jim

sweet! thanks for the heads up.
(had to enable 98 compatibility mode to get it working.)

[VitaminD]

thanks for the heads up.. the arp will be very useful to me

[brok landers]

this seems to be no plugin at all??
why the misleading post here??
any enlightment, please?

[peter01]

This is not a plugin, it is nostalgia.

[VitaminD]

no.. these are standalone.. I'm using them in my sequencer/synths by using Maple (Virtual Midi Ports) to map midi notes from my keyboard into the Arp-X8 (for instance) then telling the Arp to talk to my sequencer/synths..

[brok landers]

ahh, ok, thanks for the info ...
maybe you should consider to replace this thread to "everything else", since it's wrong here ...
just a suggestion, i'm no mod ...
