To Muse: Now waiting for K4 installer

[gizmostatic]

from this thread here on april 23:

IN our defense, I want to again point out that we've been working on the Komplete installer for almost a year. We started making an installer technology for Komplete 3, almost finished it, and bam, Native came out with the Service Center and a completely different way of authorizing plug-ins (and that's okay, because they warned it would be happening and have been really helpful to us in developing the support for Service Center). So back to the drawing board we go, and alas, we should be finished in the next few weeks assuming beta test doesn't show up too many nasties.

The upside of all this work is now all the new Service Center plugins should work with a minimum amount of effort on our part, which will drastically improve the flow of plug-ins into the compatible list. Furthermore, it will free up engineering resources to work with all the other developers who want their stuff on Receptor. I think you see things improve remarkably over the next few months in terms of what is compatible and what is not, especially with regard to updates.

I'm not sounding too defensive, am I?

ok so now we know that Service Center != Komplete support. My bad for jumping to a conclusion that Muse releasing an OS update that included support for Komplete 4 would mean I could actually install the damn thing.

So now that we're here, what's the story with a user installer to get Komplete 4 working? Is there even going to be one released or does Muse see a profit potential for charging to install plug ins now? If there is a user installer for K4 planned, what's the projected release? Is it another couple of months? 6 months? Ever?

Please see my post here It seems we are going to be charged for this.

Will there be an official announcement of support for individual NI Service Center-dependent installed products, e.g., Absynth, FM8, Reaktor?

For those of us who have shimmied specific NI plug-ins from one machine to another over the years (to conserve processor resources) and have actually spent MORE money for FEWER products via a battery of upgrades, this is quite important-and perhaps as fundamental an issue as to whether the Receptor, in its many guises, has ultimately been worth the growing pains.

User plug-in installation and registration support is critical to the success of this unit-if we have to ship units back to Menlo Park every time we want to install a series of plugins, this no longer makes Receptor a go-to device.

As is, there are issues with the Receptorization process for plug-in presets that increasingly make this, in 2007, a rather frustrating product from a music-making perspective, at the times when it should be least frustrating-i.e., transferring plug-ins, presets and sample / resource files into the unit prior to going on the road.

So close-and yet so far. Here's hoping it gets quite simpler.

That's certainly true at the moment, but I'd like to hear Muse's official position on this asap.

Can Muse please let us know something here?
