you look like sid vicious in the quantum reality where punk was skipped, they went straight to new wave after the hippy movement
You are right he was, and still is, a fanboi not as much of Roland but of Jupiter 4 and 8. HJ owned more Roland synths than NR ever did but NR used of Jupiters was as if there were no other synths available. Those early Duran Duran albums were Jupitized to the bone.
He did not like digital synths. It took him a while to embrace them, and only because Roland came out with the D-50 almost 4 years after the DX7.
they'll be like stressing on the D word sayin gawd daymm dirtt mommachurchers like in country music nashville tone/slang.. something like that
And again at the same time, he loved the CMI (31'30), and the rant about DX7 (24'35). Beside that, it was a terribly difficult to program it, basically it was used as a preset keyboard. Even the SY99 (that I still own) was boring to program, though much easier than DX7.
Look outside the square for a minute... For their app not to be cracked (yet) it means they did a decent job of coding. This tends to indicate the people who wrote it have a good idea about most facets of programming. John or Jane cracker comes along and breaks it. This indicates they are also good. Dev goes 'ok...' Then adds something new. John or Jane cracker goes "Hmmmm..." cracks it, releases it. devs go..."OK..." again...adds more encryption and something new. Jane and John Doe go "Hmmm...." again and crack it again and release version 3. Such is the circle of life. FYI - R2R already have decrypted Pace, iLok, Codemeter and more. All but e-licenser. That happens, it won't be a matter of devs worrying about being hacked as they know they might be. It will become the least likely. Last edited by a moderator: Nov 9, 2021
on-topic, I think UVI would say " Great. That took you way longer than we thought it would." They know what they are up against. When there were PC releases of Drum Replacer, Thorus, Sparkverb, they would have good reason to expect it. One or more were part of the Big Wave, so that's almost a year now. Last edited: Nov 9, 2021
Someone wanna catch me up on why this hasn't happened already? Is it because of iLok? I thought Ilok has already been cracked... surely there must be another reason? Between Falcon, Shade, Meteor, etc., I'm surprised UVI isn't the top priority of every cracker out there...
Would you believe that I still get messages in my inbox about all this? On Reddit et al, too! :D Thanks, my salty pirate buddy! XD
