Guitar players, The soundclick MP3 demo page got updated !

Maybe this'll flush Midiworks out of hiding:

Conspiracy Theory: Midiworks' sourcecode IS Amplitube, therefore he must wait for Amplitube2 for his "new" modeling engine to work!



Just kidding.

[ChocoLatteRabbit]

OOoooooh, Guitarzan, that's a cheap shot, and maybe a good theory.

[sonicfire]

there you have it guys-midiworks - gone far away

[Sascha Franck]

Hm, over 1.5 years. Indeed, sorta beats AT2...

[echopark]

The endloss story ......................................................................

[Midiworks]

Not really.

[Amberience]

LMAO. I'm glad I never put too much credence in this, and all I ever did was give him a few riffs to test it out. Stil aint never heard those riffs to this day though.

well first he did come out with xmas tube, second Rene wouldn't produce a ripped off clone.

He's waiting because after a year and a half (longer actually) he's worked scores of hours...he told us last month (or the month before) that it was in fact done but he needed a web page and he needed a little rest. He is looking for someone to make the page now as I understand it.

Surely that makes sense, I mean if I just got done building a new car, I would have little strength left to build a showroom. We all know contractors who build houses and wait months to sell them. (I know I drive by and see the signs on the lawn for a while, but many houses do not sell for months)

Perhaps he's feeling that AT2 is going to be a flop and he'll hit the market at the same time with his sim and get swept up in the wave. So this is not his fault, he has nothing to do with AT. I assume it's just marketing.

I wonder if it would be better to release it now though (I mean if it's done )...some people are tired of waiting for AT2, if it came out soon and people didn't like it, some people might not be all that willing to fork out the cash yet again, maybe it would be a good idea to jump on the frustration now and get those customers. But remember Rene has a bunch of partners (5 was it?), I'm sure one is a marketing expert...so truly they know what's best...just do as I did...go buy a line six pod xt live to get you through until one of these comes out.

But we have to be fair to midiworks, over a year and half is a long time to work on one thing. He must still just be ready to drop from exhaustion, wouldn't you after working at one job for that long? I'm sure he's done similar things with all his other products and look how well they are doing.

So Rene, you get your rest..we know you need and deserve it, we can wait a little longer. When you're ready we all be right here standing in line with credit cards in hand...

[guitarzan]

well first he did come out with xmas tube

In my conspiracy theory, xmastube would've been based on the first Amplitube. He would be waiting on Amplitube2 for the "new, improved" modeling engine that was given as one of the multitude of reasons for delaying - but I was just trying to provoke a response from Midiworks, really.

Although...normally a company tries to rush to be the first to release...not the other way around...hmmmm....

[AndrewSimon]

Not really.

Seriously, we need a little more info here.
What are your plans?
Should I wait? or should I invest in a donglelized monster?

Don't worry, I was being real sarcastic, a little good natured ribbing at Rene...in my "version" xmas tube is ruby tube with a twist...

You are right.

If you want a amp sim, then you should wait.
If you want a multifx with distortion then there are plenty
to chose from.

Just a thought, if I am able to model all those real amps that close,
like you heard it on the mp3's, how simple you guess,
would it be to model the sound of a Pod, GR2 or a AT2 ?
Let me tell you, very easy.

I worked too long and too hard on the whole thing
to rush and maybe make a deadly mistake in the end.

Since I did everything way different so far,
I will keep it this way.
Most of my other, yes, 5 partners, did the jobs needed
a long time ago and sure they are waiting too, that I release the amp.
But there is no pressure from that side.

The site is half done, I mean its functional,
but its still missing the text/pics/mp3 content.

The amp is fully functional.

There are more amp models done than I thought,
to get one model right, sometimes up to 20 models had to be made.
Than pick the one that sounds the closesed and FEELS/REACTS the closest
to the real amp.

So there will be also a growing range of new amp models AND distortion stomp models,
made available over time, that can be loaded into the main amp and can be bought seperately.

Also, from time to time there will be new FREE models or stomps for our registered users.

And finally a Mac version will come too.


Thanks

Thanks Rene, this is very encouraging to hear from you! I was getting disappointed when not hearing any news for so long about this great product.

Not wishing to get re-involved in this thread, and all criticism aside, is the plug being formally beta-tested?
