I think you have to be a EVE ONE owner to qualify.
Hope this helps

[basic channel]

Paul, what's going to happen to owners of EVE ONE? Is there going to be a crossgrade path?

Hi tonalaxis

Here is what we are considering for Eve One Registered owners, but note that this still may change, but i thought i would give you all an idea:

There will be a FREE Engine only Update for you guys. This means you will get the new ManyOne DLL for no charge.
This Free update will not include the new Preset Banks we have created, or the Eve One Soundsets, that we have converted to WusikSnd Format. The new Presets rely on these converted WusikSnds to be able to load them, and these presets will not load with the original DashSnds that came with Eve One.
It also does not include access to the ManyTone FreeZone.

You guys will also still have to have your Old Eve One Sounds installed (Note: we do not provide these for you. You will need your Old Eve One to get these sounds.) And remember the New banks will not be included nor will they load with the Original soundsets you guys have. Also you guys will only get the Original Eve One Skin redone for ManyOne. The New Skins (Made by Berend and Branis) will only be in the Full ManyTone Version.
So if you want the Presets and New GUI's and accesss to the FreeZone, read below.


There will also a few options for those of you that want to upgrade to the Full ManyOne, which includes the new preset bank and access to all the new Sounds contained in the ManyTone Freezone and the new ManyTone ManyOne GUIs.

Option 1 - You can purchase the Full upgrade for $19.95. This includes the presets and the converted Soundsets and accesss to the FreeZone and any future sounds that we put in the FreeZone, and the 2 new GUIs.

Option 2 - If you already are a ManyTone customer and already have access to our FreeZone, You can purchase the Presets and the Converted Soundsets and the new GUI's for $9.95

Option 3 - FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY - Any Existing Eve One Customer can Purchase any of our ManyTone products with a value of at least $50.00 and you will receive this above Full upgrade for Free. So, spend at least $50.00 with us on either Soundsets or our VSTi, and the ManyOne full version is yours Free. (Including access to the FreeZone) This offer will only be available for a short time and is only available to New Purchases. (Meaning if you purchased Items in the past from us, you still would need to buy $50.00 worth of product during this promotion period to get the Upgrade free). We will announce more details soon.


Again ....specifics on this may change before release but this will give you guys an idea of what is happening.

Cheers
Paul

Hmmm..I'm out the loop here.

What is the Freezone - do I get access as a Manystation owner or does it cost extra ?

As I said, I own EveOne (and Eve 2 I think) and Manystation so I'm not sure where I stand.....

[Kyran]

This thing sounds very interesting.
I might just jump in.
Does it load all wusikSND files? Then it will be a real bargain, consider all the gigs I have in that format.

[ThereIsNoLimitEr]

Are there any demo sounds or tunes anywhere? I can't find any.

Hi
ManyStation users were sent a mailing with the FreeZone release info. (But of course some get lost in spam etc.) Your FreeZone Access is on your ManyStation Registered users page. This info is in the mail you received when you purchased ManyStation. (the one we told you guys to backup and save )

The Special to Eve One owners requires that you own the Full version from Dash of Eve One. I explained the details and prices in a post above for that.

So if you already have ManyStation and access to the Freezone and you own Eve One Full, then your options to get ManyOne Full version are #2 and #3 above. Or you will receive just the Engine only update free. (See above again to get the full picture) I will mail all EVE One owners that are registered with Luigi this info and the Engine only update and the purchase links to get the New Full version ManyOne. I'll announce here once i mail you guys so that you know.

New ManyOne Customers who DO NOT own Eve One can take us up on the Intro Special $37.95 Price and get all the ManyOne Goodies including the FreeZone Access and the ManyMapper for mapping your own Samples.

This thing sounds very interesting.
I might just jump in.
Does it load all wusikSND files? Then it will be a real bargain, consider all the gigs I have in that format.

Yes it sure does.... All your Wusik Soundsets will show up in the browser and now multiple depth folders are also supported. (The original Eve One only saw 1 folder deep)

Are there any demo sounds or tunes anywhere? I can't find any.

The website has not been updated as the product is not released yet. There will be some on the website soon.


So ... I have everything out of my hands now, and I am just waiting for the final installers from Aldo and then we will upload the website and Go Live. (Not sure how long he will take for this but expect it should be quick)

Thanks again Guys
Paul

[manytone]

Oh By the way, speaking of Demo tracks....

I could use a few quickly. So if anybody is out there that has a reputation for making great mp3 demo tracks and is able to do so quite quickly, then email me and I will get you the full version right away in return to bang on.

Again, I'll need these quickly (Yesterday ) and you must be someone i can check some references on (ie: known to me via kvr or something like that).

I have room for a few so first couple folks, with a reputation for being creative, (ahem....musically) who send me mails get the spots and can start playing with ManyOne NOW.
But you have to promise me a "Usable" Short Demo Track or a few, reasonably fast So i would like to hear or know your style etc. first. Most of our demo tracks are short examples and not whole songs.

This post might self destruct after quota met

Thanks
Paul

I have found my Freezone (now I should maybe take advantage of it ) - and my old Dash package (which included Eve, along with daAlpha2k, Combo sister, AbstractGuitar and EMM Knagalis)...is this the one you mean ?

[manytone]

Hi basic channel
I don't know what Eve you had. Dash had 2 different ones. Only Eve One owners get the offer as this replaces Eve One (Single Osc sample synth) and not the product they call Eve which has Multiple Oscs.
Sounds like you own the current Eve multi osc version?
If you do own Eve One you will receive the Eve One owners offer... otherwise if you only own EVE and not Eve One the offer for you is the $37.95 intro special. (Edit .... Maybe Luigi and I will offer something to you guys that own EVE - Dash's current version too on this ....not sure yet, I'll talk to him)

Luigi must have been confused when he had the 2 products (i think that is part of the reason we took it over, but it seems now that i am dealing with the confusion )

All the options talk about "x" AND Eve. So, as someone who has Manystation and ManyGuitar (but not Eve), it looks like I would take advantage of the intro pricing at $37.95, correct?

Don't get me wrong: that's still a very reasonable price to be sure. For the price of say two "crappy" EM cds (plus shipping) I would MUCH rather have Manyone any day!

So, I'll be all over that as soon as it becomes available!

I have to say too, that I really really like the gui on this. I love that steampunk/50s look that this has. Great work, Amoebe! Oh yeah... as far as the browser goes, that might be something that might be more trouble to program than it's worth, but my thought would be to make the browser hideable. You can have it out for selecting sounds, or click on it and it tucks in so that you have just the instrument open if you've selected your sound and just want to tweak. As a point of reference... like the browsers in Carrara or Poser.

I'm also looking forward to hearing how the filters on this will sound.

Hi Sequent

Yes ... for the Intro, there is no different crossgrade price for current ManyStation or ManyGuitar users as the $37.95 is lower than the crossgrade price will be after the sale (After the sale there will be a Crossgrade for our current VSTi Customers but it will not be less than this) So not a big difference but still ....It is a very inexpensive product to start so we can't give it away any cheaper.

The special prices are lower for Eve One Users as they already own the Soundsets and the Old Eve One VSTi, so they get a bit of a break to reflect this as it basically just updates their existing product.

Make sense?
and Thanks for asking as this will clarify it for some others also.

And ...you should see the other 2 skins ... I will post them very soon!

Hi Paul, yes... that is definitely a VERY fair price to be sure. So, as I said, no worries.

I love your Manytone items. The guis ARE part of it for me, because it's all inspirational. (as are the sounds) I hate an ugly gui. But then, I'm also a very visual person too, so just my quirk maybe.

BTW, I used ManyGuitar on one of our songs and everyone thought it was a real guitar - even the guitarist, lol.

Hi Sequent
Have you got a link to the track so i can listen to it?

And yes...Berends GUIs are quite inspiring.

Paul

[amoebe]

Thank you! I've seen both other GUI's, they're inspirational too.

[riley4reason]

Sure is quiet.
