Whether you’re recording external gear or jamming across systems, everything stays locked and responsive.

Ironically, no link provided.
Set Theory claim:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate.
Red is Red and anything that is Red is an object, a class in itself or a real thing if you prefer"

Well, if this works…wet dream! MIDI sync through IAC has been pretty iffy with my desired apps (if/when it works at all)…downloading trial now, and hopefully this is the long-awaited solution to getting things finally sync’d, certainly worth the price of entry if so ;-)

I love Bitwig, but it's been getting mogged by Ableton of late. While they've been working on their engine redesign, Abelton has been releasing tons of banger features. Hopefully now that the redesign is done, they can get back to innovation.

Well done, LiveLink does appear to be working fine here (Five12’s Numerology 4 Pro as AU ‘host’)!

This could be EXTREMELY handy for me, as I have lots of M4L plugins, but don’t like to use Ableton as my main host for creating in. So still have some tests to do, but definitely on the path to purchase ;-)

Now, some important pre-sales questions. How are you set up to keep the plug-in activated and usable IF, you decide to do something else? In other words, what becomes of the plug-in and it’s licensing/activation if your aspirations change and you seek another endeavor (or God forbid, some other disruption to you continuing to being able to actively support the licensing?)

Is this a ‘one-off activation’, or does it need to ‘call home’ to some server at set time periods? Will you make the license ‘free’ if you decide to do something else?

Thanks in advance

Hey bud)

Thanks for your interest)

-I will have to look into numerology... Since its a time-domain plugin, LiveLink depends on a *timeline* or some sort of timeline propagation from the host. I will check out numerology and see what is possible here. It has only been tested in Ableton/Bitwig/Cubase/Logic at this point..

-The licensing system should keep on working in any case. - There is, of course, a chance for *force majeure* or *factor X*.. For example, if Ableton as a company breaks up, and my "proprietary code license" with them gets revoked as a result, but this would only affect any further sales i believe/hope.. Another example would be that the hosting providers could fail, but i could then change the system to point to new ones. If If anything would happen to me, I would probably send out one last version to the *licensed people* that doesnt rely on anything-and the responsibility of keeping your copies safe and to yourselves would be with you guys... (Lets hope nothing bad happens to anybody..:) Either way, i will figure something out - Im also a music guy and actually care to do no harm etc.;)
So as long as these established companies exist, licensing will work. If they crash, find a workaround..

The way the Licensing system works now:
- The Plugin requires a one time *online activation* - Once activated, (by entering your key) you can run it offline indefinately. There are no call-home functions further checks or anything like that. It only checks if the license is present on your system (like most software)

-The trial/demo version is a totally decoupled from, and, a bit different to the Licensed version. (Even if its the same file - two systems that do not touch eachother)

-During the 9 day demo, the trial needs to *call home* every couple of days. This is to prevent abuse/resetting your system clock to cheat the demo system type scenarios.

And finally: If i decide to *do something else* - all licensed people will be taken care of. No one will be left behind or in any uncomfortable situation. - There just wont be any new trial licenses created or possibility to aquire a new license. All current License holders will not have to worry about anything.

- I have actually recently thought about what will happen to the code when i *pass on* - My conclusion was to then open source it. - send one last mail with a link to the code to all licensed people or something... I dont know, friend... Either way, you will be fine. :) I value honesty, truth, integrity and so on... Never have and never will try to scam anybody. Hope that resonates with you..:)

- im gonna download a numerology demo later and see what can be done.

Please let me know if you have any other questions - I will be around :)

Thanks and take care:)

Hello again;)

Good news!:)

i can confirm that LiveLink works in numerology4 pro!

- make sure you drag the AU Fx into the Effects slot of numerology.
