I don't know why I'm such a target. I've been up a lot of years and my page stays in the top 20% most of the time but so what? I'm still nobody in particular. I like the open comments and I hate to do it but maybe I should lock the site down again to keep it from being used to hurt people.

People can download my VSTs and the schematics for most of my hardware free, without even asking. You'd think that would give me some underground credibility but evidently no... Every site I've had for the past 5 years that was anything but plain old html has been hacked. :shrug:

Is there any real point in escalating the war? Won't they find a way in no matter what if they are determined. I mean, they hack everybody don't they?

I'm totally diggin Stompshop. I tried it awhile ago but for whatever reason I couldnt get it to work in Cubase LE. Works fine in the REAPER though.
Oh and vogue is pretty bitchin.

Worse yet is they are typically the ones without the skill that just read about or simply download the exploit. They look for weak unpatched software usually, not a particular person unless there's some specific vendetta or message. Sorry to hear that your install got exploited it - happens to a lot of people. I really didn't mean to sound curt and critical of you and apologize if that was how you thought I meant it. It is frustrating, I do understand.

I visited efm yesterday, went fine.

I set up Internet Explorer to prompt for cookies. I've had trojans mess with javascript before, from seemingly normal sites, but that had ads.

----That sucks, I'm sorry to hear you're having webpage/hacker type problems tom, and of course we hope you can get it fixed soon. I seem to remember using a synth of yours a couple years back I think, one of the better freeware ones at the time. Try not to let a few bad apples/problems keep you from doing what you want, KvR people can be fickle, but I think even most of us appreciate freeware devs and wouldn't do anything to their websites. :)

Hi tomg,
I love your new synth. Congratulations!!! :-)
Is there a chance to get more presets in the future?

Unfortunately I own Cubase 4. That has not the possibility to store fxb/fxp
presets. So I cannot share presets. :-(

I hope you will make one day commercial versions of some of your synths with many presets. I would buy it!!!!

Now Why would somebody Hack your site Tom??? WTF!!!

Cubase 4 doesn't save fxp and fxb patches and banks? What the f**k is up with that? Isn't fxp and fxb the Steinberg/Cubase Standard? They invented the Shit. :shrug:

Post

Hi BFunku,
yes, it is unbelievable. But so far as I can see, Cubase 4 can only import
fxb/fxp. When I want to store a sound I have to do it in the Cubase mediabay
format. So I cannot give sounds to people who had another sequencer.
Very very strange. :-(

Or does anybody know a trick how I can do it with Cubase 4?
Help wanted!!!
