Thanks a LOT for the new randomization features. I guess begging is worthwhile sometimes.

Anyway, Eloquence in front of two different instances of Wavelore's Pedal Steel Library is pure bliss.

Very few compared to Eloquence. The only cool thing about it is if 7Aliens can create a flood of genre specific preset pattern packs for it. It would be very inspirational. Also, it is not a full fledged arpeggiator. The GUI is georgeous though.

That's all cool, but genre specific packs that you purchase and load in would be my thing. This way I can tailor the plugin to the music style I'm into. I feel that why the hell would I want jazz or rock patterns, when I do polka? Genre specific preset pattern packs would be more likely to attract customers looking for specific musical styles.

Most, if not all developers would probably tell you to go f### yourself.

funkychickendance wrote:c. Some non 4/4 opportunities

Fair enough.

I know. That's how it is with everything.

That's what I'm saying.

That's not cool.

Maybe not the most "real" piece of music that comes out of it but it can sound really good if you sculpt the velocity curves with caution in order to perform the slides with the right feeling. (If you have the velocity affecting the slide speed.)

Oh, i'm okay with 'real' music, but i also need the unreal. That's where the interesting stuff happens...good tips there; thanks.

Man, I'm lovin' the fact that you can use the mouse wheel to adjust the steps in each of the sequencers. Beautiful! - Orbit-50

That's good to know.

Best,

I own both as well and still haven't heard anything. I guess I need to contact them.

They're real quick. I got an answer within 10 minutes. A YES answer.

I sent them a PM here because I was at work. They haven't read it yet. No big deal, I just haven't bothered trying the demo because I know I'm eligible for and probably will upgrade.

Are they not still on hols?

Oh and i will be buying this soon, can't get enough of it! The time limit does make it hard to really get into it but i've reached a point now where i can't not buy it.

You mean you actually needed more than 20 minutes to decide?

Yes i'm a bit slow.

Seriously i need to save fror a new laptop so i've giving this a thorough test to see if it's something i need now or can wait a bit but every time i use i'm left wanting more, i'm just getting into the groove with it and the demo times out.

Sugarbytes are evil geniuses.

I love the reset, copy, and paste buttons. Perfectly placed. One touch operation. No fanfare. Perfect.

I would recommend those who haven't purchased it yet to pass on this one. This piece of software is nothing more than a gimmick. It's interesting for the first couple of seconds, but it gets boring real fast. In addition, the plug-in will leave you feeling very much limited and constricted within itself. Save the money for something more useful. Oh, and the support received from these guys are terrible. They'll only respond quickly to make a sale, but you're pretty much on your own after that. Hope this helps.
