The only downside to u-he software

[Urs]

I'll just say that the service of a vintage synth every, say, five years is more expensive than buying the latest and greatest emulation thereof.

Even my Lil Phatty needs some service soon. Buttons don't work properly anymore, triangle isn't triangle anymore. After five years, Sigh.

In that respect, I don't know, I don't really see an advantage for hardware. I agree however that it would be highly advantageous if I stuck around for a long, long many years to come

[tetsuneko]

umm.. isn't that what emulator software is for? The only problem I see is the authorization schemes.. Keep those serials safe!

Nothing is ever certain.. hardware/software is ephemeral. Nobody ever promised it'd outlive us (but it still might).

I'm happy if I can use a good software like ACE or Filterscape or UHBIK now for a few years.. I doubt that I'd find these tools so interesting in 10 years..

wait and see

And don't we all agree on that one

Cheers Urs, watch out for those busses

I've been using Zebra now for 4 years (good gods has it been that long?) and so far it's aged like fine wine or cheese. I can only expect the trend to continue.

Ok.

Who's the insurance salesman?




It's seems to me that the best things in life are always measured finally in tears. If all of U-He folded tomorrow I would still be glad that I was a part of it, as a very happy user, and my money and time were well spent.

You know how that is measured.

I wish all of you well and many years with Zebra.

Urs,

Watch out for brickwall bus compressors:



Or anything with a wet sound:

You are right there... Zebra is more fleshed out, takes longer to learn, thus demands a higher investment in time from a user. This investment is something that you should not let go of lightly. Still I would still hold because of the nature of technology software gets outdated as better hardware makes certain workflow efficiencies, or soundquality improvements possible..

Workflow is probably the major driver of this obsolence, when workflow get simpler and more direct, everyone see this as a desirable upgrade. Example; I'd like to make a sound with one technology for example and say computer emulate this but using a different engine so I can develop a certain aspect of the sound that the original synth engine didn't offer a solution for...

That is so true.. When I get my mac mini modular working with 4 minis running fifty ACE's 20 filterscapes, 200 UHBIK instances 10 Divas in Devine mode, I might just go in to a looplimbo a electronically sustained incubus and not come out for another thousand years, Reasembling something more U-heaenian Robotical extruding sound that behaves like beams of light and visuals that rumble outwards like waves of sound.

I don't understand the problem.
I'm pretty confident everybodys TB303 didn't just stop working when Tadao died

exactly my thoughts when I read the first post.
