FM8 On Receptor

[garygenn69]

DUde, I cant believe they relesed this komplte bundle but wont give us auth to install our products. I am really on the verge of starting to bad mouth these companies. It is a shame too cause I always loved the NI sounds and was so excited to finally buy a receptor One very unhappy customer here!!!

Thanks bekenone, thats great info. I'd really like to know Muse's official position on this though .. are Receptor users about to be entering a new phase where piracy/authorization methods become a revenue source? I bought a receptor because of it being build on red hat, which offers immense upgradability and flexibility for an educated user, but I'm starting to think a laptop would be a better option on stage, as I wouldn't be waiting for a company to either a) release something or b) decide to profit from it's current users while it pursues a business strategy of building a user base of plug n play users. I bought a receptor within a year, and have waited till now to get all NI stuff working, and it ends up I should have waited and bought a Receptor 'Komplete Inside' .. would have been MUCH cheaper as I bought a bunch of stuff via plugorama to tie me over until K4 was installable, and now, the wait continues.

I don't want to slag Muse, but I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of information to this board, given the power users that are here and have been supporting them fully for a LONG time. I'm feeling a bit 'tricked' by the language prior to the 1.6 release, and not feeling good about the future at the moment.

Muse, care to convince me that you'll be treating current customers right?

please?

I agree completely...It's the language used by Muse on this update that I find disturbing.

I feel as if I've been sold an automobile only to find that when I go to pick it up, they tell me "Oh, You wanted tires with it? Well, That'll be an extra $200.00"

Seriously, The entire premise behind the Receptor has been Complete compatability for all VST instruments & effects.
Thats how it was sold from the begining.
But all it's turning out to be is a big bait-n-switch scheme.

Sometimes it feels like K-v-R is a barrel, we're the fish & Muse is holdin' the shotgun.

I agree it sure looks this way with K4, but here is my take: I believe that Muse intended to have a "K4 User Installable" that required OS 1.6....they told me this...when I offered to Beta K4 they said that basically the K4 User Installable was still sometime away due to some issues, and so I sent it in and they did it. My guess is, they are running into additional issues with the K4 user-installable, and hence they are offering the "you send it in a pay some $$$ and they do it for you" in the meantime.

just my somewhat informed .02 worth

I totally agree that Muse should make a concerted effort to be more communicative own this forum though.

[quote="Gymnopedies"][quote="bekenone"]for those that cant wait and like to edit the registry, i posted how to do it.

I have Reaktor 5 running like normal, perfect and pretty...saves multis and single pretty too.



"NI Service Center" is just A Macromedia Flash appication thats posts HTTP and reads and writes to the registry.....no realy. [/quote]

SO basically all the ones Iown that muse has the plugin fro I can install, rigth? Also will this cause any problems when muse or NI get their SH$T together and give us the auth for it?

[bekenone]

oops...what I meant to say was that it wont be a problem.
and if you do decide to install a official installer over a "REGed" one...all you have to do is uninstall, delete the folder and erase the registry key (ServiceCenter, Reaktor 5, FM8, Absynth 4), then install the official installer.

I would suggest leaving "ServiceCenter" because what ever THEY congure up its going to make the same Registry keys.

[garygenn69]

yep

sorry, yep yp bpth questions?

[bekenone]

I would like to mention that the methods I posted in the past are not illegal or a form of wares, piracy or what ever you want to call it.
most are protected by the GNU license and some are just plain good old windows Registry hacks, thats arent really hacks at at...only modified to run on WINE (if needed).
