I guess when softies need dongles, it's time to consider getting a real instrument. Sound better anyways instead of these Intel/Microsoft/Dongled thingys.
This sucks really, now my son will want a synth with a dongle and a picture.
Before he was happy with just the cool picture of a real synth.
Do the dongled synths cost more thaqn the usual 50-200 recreation of synths from the 70s and 80s...?
Which dongle synth would you suggest I get my Kid, his BDays coming up and I really dont know anything about these dongled synths...

I'm not sure if you're joking, but if you're serious, a dongle makes no difference in sound or quality, it's a different form of copy protection. The advantage is that it isn't tied to one computer, you can use it wherever you plug the dongle in to (about the size of a thumb drive). The disadvantage is that you always have to have this thing sticking out of a usb slot so not good for laptops. Makes no difference in price either. Often products that use dongles switch to not needing them and instead store the license on a computer, or vice versa.jimmyvee wrote:I guess when softies need dongles, it's time to consider getting a real instrument.

Apparently my version of Zebra, or possibly any U-he product, has the same advantage without the dongle. If you store the code on your phone, or similar.Echoes in the Attic wrote: The advantage is that it isn't tied to one computer, you can use it wherever you plug the dongle in to
You can use it with any computer as long as you're the user.
I wonder how many other synths can do the same without a dongle?

I like that idea about the phone.
I've always stayed clear of that ptotection stuff. Use a DSP rack and Hardware synths.
Seen too many guys pulling thier hair out before a soundcheck freaking out about their dongles and laptops.
Muse Receptors seem to be a good alternative.
Does Zebra or the u-He Diva synths work with receptors...?
