This is a question that every developer should ask him/herself. Software is infinitely duplicateable, unlike hardware.
So what if you sell your cheap, but valuable product, instead of selling it to 100 People for $200 each, to 1000 people for $20 each (or, to 10000 ppl for $2 each) ? I say, you get the same amount of revenue, and you could spare you and your customers from copy protection measures and -fees.
I for myself am someone who buys easyly from 2 to 20 $ (€) without many thoughts, but above this I am very reluctant, esp. with software. If it comes into three figures, I would buy it only if it is very exceptional and/or irreplaceable (and free of copy protection).

 

Well, if an oscillator (that oscillates in the real world) is the basic definition of a synthesizer, you would be right, but then no digital instrument could be called a synthesizer, since there is nothing that oscillates except the CPU clock.
If you mean that the oscillator has to generate sound by algorithmic functions, and not by scanning a waveform, then you would be also right, but then again, any wavetable synthesizer should not be called synthesizer, begining with things like WASP or PPG Wave.
So there is more to a synthesiser than some label on the front that says "Hi, I am an oscillator, so I am a synth, believe me !"

 

Sry mate, yes you are wrong. Pentium is merely a brand name, the last was introduced in 2018 (Pentium Gold).I have read that the i3-6100 is identical to Pentium G4520. Anyway I think that Pentium as a speed reference is a standard and means in todays' days "an entry-level core with this clock frequency is capable of handling this software".

 

Thank you for clearing that up. Much obliged. Always willing to learn something new.

 

Why are we digging up a 4 year old thread? Did I miss something?

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Wah, I didn't realize that until you mentioned it.
Maybe because the date is so tiny that I almost don't see it without glasses.
