Native instruments weird retro-futurism

[alex.the.forge]

I caved and bought the $169 upgrade from Komplete 2 to 6 when the missus wasn't looking and it turns out the fuckers only ship the serial numbers in the box which will take 6-8 days to get here

how weird for a company that specialises in making futuristic sounds to make you wait for the post man

I'm not used to this kind of olde worlde nonsense, I WANT IT NOW!!

In October it took Royal Mail (express) 12 days from London to Frankfurt, so this time my buddy decided to send me my Uberstand by regular non express service, that was 17 of November, still waiting...
Does it make you feel any better, homesick, missing RM ?

1) the serial numbers fore the individual apps are generated by (and tied to) the Komplete serial number- hence, they can't give you individual serial numbers
2) there's around 65 GB of content- how are NI supposed to provide bandwidth for that plus their other download sales, etc.?

it would have been nice to use Guitar Rig 4 right away. It was an entire week before it was even shipped. Another week before it got to me.

I'm sure someone at NI is manually calculating Alex's new serials from some intricate algorithm.

Yes, their serial-calculating-algorithm was used to build the mutate-feature in Absynth 5. That's why things might take a while now.

I hear it's based on some new fangled neural network they've developed.

I agree it's weird not to send a serial number by e-mail. Ok, it's hard to put 60+ Gb for download, but maybe he can make a copy from his friend DVD's(week before), and want to activate it right now!

I'm sure they could figure out a way - Ableton gives you the suite serial without the box/content

just seems kind of odd that I now own all those instruments but I'm stuck using them in demo mode!

in their defense though, they have a great demo system - make a good clip> freeze track> option+drag to audio track>unfreeze>repeat until the 30 mins is up then just drag the plug-in in again

been making some cool audio clips like that

Ah- no. That's redistribution...
