Thank you Arturia

Does anyone know , once the plugin is installed can I uninstall the arturia software or does it phone home ?
I obvioulsy want to keep the plugin installed but really dislike having another software centre installed .

I need an Arturia account?

Uninstalled!!

Bastards. What next?

Amazon expected me to give them my address too! Haha. Losers. I didn't fall for that one either. Never did receive my order though.

do you have to install the arturia service center software?
how does it sound in comparison to cytomic the drop ms20 model?

Never thought I would say this about arturia , but it sounds equally as good as the drop ms 20 filter .
It sounds marvelous and dirty , arturia really stepped up their dsp code .

That's why I hope they revise their other filters. It's day and night compared to the other ones really.

It doesn't need to phone home as far as I know, as it works fine when you're offline, but you would need their software centre for any future updates. I don't think it runs constantly either (I may be wrong about that) as I have to physically open it whenever I use it (for updates and new installs etc). Whether you can uninstall it completely I'm not sure, but I would guess yes. You could ask their support, who I've always found very responsive.

... ...
NI gives away old plugins. Arturia gives away new plugins.

Wasn't Raum new when they gave that away? (i actually missed out on that somehow)

It was and it's still one of the best plugin giveaways to date imo

In my experience Arturia plugins do phone home and in fact activate the "Arturia Software Center Agent.exe" when loaded.

You can check the activity at your Firewall:

Now I don't know if the plugins will still load and function if the phone home is unsuccessful but I doubt they'll function without the ASC being installed.

Similar experience on Mac. If you kill their background process, their plugins will not load. I don't know they actually phone home but they require their agent for DRM.

Oh, a nice freebie. Thanks Arturia. The Daft Punk-ish logo on it is a cute touch.

And happy holidays to all you KVRians. Hope you can make it a peaceful one... or maybe an extremely unpeaceful one after running it through this plugin, heh.

Did you say PEACEFUL? On KVR? If it stopped being hostile, I'd have a stroke.

im usually having a stroke when i post here.
always stop before climax though.

According to the activity at the Firewall here the agent.exe is phoning home.

Arturia's plugins are some of the slowest to load of any that I own so maybe it's the "open the agent.exe/phone home" process that's causing the delay.

Looks like the Agent also runs as a background process (on Win 10):

Having a stroke or stroking it, Vurt?

Well my pc lives offline, and I only go online with it occasionally for the specific purposes of updates and new installs. So their stuff must work without phoning home cos mine do it constantly. I can go months without going online and they've always been fine.

But I am probably well off the mark with my guess that you can run their software after uninstalling their software centre.
