although I am a ameteur novice, zebra 1.5 is still sick

[poyaochuang]

dont blame yourself

you are doing good, mastering what you do is beautiful, yes beautiful

oh yeah, future distribution, dont go for big corps

how about me? what is requirement to be a distributor? I'll do it for USA distributor, I am a good canidate because I am a good person and will work hard for what is right

ps: is learning german difficult?

[Urs]

Hehe, no worries, it looks like I have found good guys for distribution...

German is quite easy if you're in Germany... but I guess it's quite hard learning it dry...

When's the PC version coming out?

Also, will you be offering crossgrades if people own Reaktor , Tassman or Vaz - they might not buy unless its cheaper ( I wouldn't have got Tassy but they offered a crossgrade at 50% of the the price and I gladly paid for an upgrade ) -- One fixed price might put off potential users who already have synths that have quite a lot of functionality of one that is on offer.

As for current users who might be pissed off if theres an offer - well I have spent nearly £1000 on NI stuff only to find out 6 months later I would have only paid £500 (Kompakt 2 Bundle) if I had waited.

EMagic Space Designer £400 on its own -- chucked in with all the plugs in Logic Pro 6 - that's OTT - you would be really sick if you got it earlier !

I think developers need to have more flexible payment options - there's less of an incentive when you have lots of plugs to buy more.

There seems to be no encouragement who want to give money to the developer when there are 400:1 not paying anything using cracks ( quote from Future Music )

Zebra isn't overpriced. 199 is a bargain for what it does IMO..... but then again, when I was a student I spent most of my time dreaming of being able to afford $$$$ hardware synths.

Kids nowadays are spoiled for choice, and expect so much more for their money.

Hey Urs!

Great work!

Zebra is one hell of a beast, and I really look
forward to having it running on my good ol' windoze
machine. (And definitely worth what it costs! )

Whoops, it's just beginning to dawn on me that I'll
have the honor to actually be the first PC guy
who'll hear this baby humming along! Now is that cool
or what?!?!

Anyway, see ya!

Best,
Stefan

So why are you wasting your time here on the forum?
- I'd say you have something better to do

[Urs]

Well, he's gonna get my old G4 for this stuff...

(so he'll definately change platform, probably before he even hears the first sound coming out of the pc )

Urs

[jens]

- get it done mates, get it done

[Urs]

Hey Jens, btw, have you heard the new demo songs?

[jens]

- you're so cruel

[Urs]

Hey, and whose stuff can't be downloaded on Mac because it's Win only?!?!?!?!?

Don't call me cruel!

Urs

[jens]

yeah, but I own Virsyn 1.1 (pre Tera) and could upgrade
to Tera 2 for 129euros and don't feel like wanting to,
whereas Zebra is out of question for me - I just want it

Girl and its successor is the same thing - and let me add: when you mac-users want something which is pc only you can build yourself for about 300euros a pc which matches (or even outperforms) the speed of the fastest G4 whereas if we pc-users want something that is mac-only...

moral-of-the-story:

the world would be a better place if macs wouldn't exist (who needs a second Bill Gates whose diabolic
smartness is even greater)
