    They've just posted this on X a couple of hours ago.

    It's either a new product (hopefully), or god forbid another all in one subscription!

    sounds like they're integrating their sample tools with some boring cloud shit

    Ohhh that is very cool. I could see myself using that.

    I wonder if the phone app is a prerequisite, or if you can load the WAVs straight into the plugin instead of being connected to the app

    And now I have an idea for a whole album ... :) On the downside: another plugin. Sigh.

    i didnt see anything regarding harvesting the sample /other uses. Even if they are, i dont really care. They can use sounds of me farting, cooking dinner and walking in the forest as much as they would like.

    The plugin is very cool. Highly recommend! Works very fast and flawlessly with the app. Unlimited interesting top loops. I made a classic neptunes type beat in minutes.

    Well if you want an easy life and leave creative part to A.I. just ask ChatGPT to make you not only a beat but the whole song right off.:winker:

    !!!!! Be aware you as user completely giveaway a non-exclusive copyright of your samples and MIDI files to XLN Audio AB, they can do whatever they want with it, even make their own drum kits for other instruments/products or use it in any free or commercially way.
    They even state this is copyright is "irrevocable".!!!!!

    Here is an archived capture of their TOS page from 29 October 2023 so they specifically changed that copyright thing on 01 December 2023 for the Life plugin (and coming softwares) to "legally" collect samples and MIDI including full non-exlucive copyright over these files uploaded to their server(s).

    https://web.archive.org/web/20231029103936/https://www.xlnaudio.com/terms_and_conditions

    There is nothing about that from their "old" TOS page since 18th December 2019 archived on 29 October 2023.
