What's the deal with using soundsets & presets from the sister site with fully licensed software?
Is it going to crash your plugin on an update or doesn't software copyright protection go that far?
Is it different for each plugin/software company?
If so which plugins/software companies implement copyright protection in updates against cracked soundbanks and presets and which don't?

 

one answer: no.

 

Some do but not many
KV331 was bad with noise stuff going off, Synapse Audio has key checks for some presets ,
Xfer Serum has a trap added for some presets but nothing ta worry about.
All have been fixed more or less with eader remade presets or better patching.

 

Serum has a trap. Can you the elaborate please?
So what you are suggesting is tweak the preset, save it then delete it.
What happens should the software recognise a pirated preset? Will you no longer be able to update the plugin?

 

The synth will not be detecting pirated presets.

Instead, what happens with some synths is that some presets (or indeed, every N-th preset you load etc.), the synth will do some secret internal synth integrity checks that the people who cracked the synth are meant to have missed. At this point if it detected that it was tampered with by cracks, the synth messes itself up and starts acting weird, adding noise, etc.

If you have a legit synth, it'll be just fine with whatever presets you feed it, no worries.

 

@PsYAuM
It just goes into demo mode and removes the serial
but thats in the pached version or has a bad serial far as i know
so you should be ok, it has also been fixed

 

@mono

do you know if synthmaster still has that problem?

 

I own Native Instruments Komplete. I downloaded some stuff for it off the sister site, and it wouldn't even recognize it. Not sure if there was a trick to it or what. Plugin still works fine with the stuff that comes with Komplete though.
