I just don't think that's good behavior , it makes people less confidant that the developer will be responsive to them, even if that's not true. And especially when charging a 30 dollar transfer fee when so many others don't, it's again uncompetitive when compared to other policies. I never posted about that experience as I didn't wish them any harm, but at the same time people should know about other peoples bad experiences to help them make the right buying choice.
DO NOT BUY ANY REFX PRODUCTS !

i've never had to deal with this guy directly, but i've read his posts and i always though the guy was a bit dramatic and defensive as well..
That does it Neb! You and me, in the parking lot, after school. I'm gonna tune you up ratchet style.nebulae wrote:Dude, this is such a rude post. I think it should be deleted from this thread.

My only exchange with him was that about 4 years ago, I asked him to put a swing feature in Vanguard's then hailed tarnce-gate. He curtly stated, "No, this is not an important feature."
Good thing the guys at Access (and most other synths) listened to such forward thinking ideology...after all, who in their right mind would ever want anything other than rigid 16ths? What a crazy request on my part...

lol! That's hilarious! He told me months ago that legato that actually works isn't an important feature. Also, I just checked at the tone2 forum and saw that someone requested midi learn in gladiator. Guess what he told them - Essentially that there's already a mod-matrix, which is better and that midi learn isn't used that much.nebulae wrote:My only exchange with him was that about 4 years ago, I asked him to put a swing feature in Vanguard's then hailed tarnce-gate.

I guess you're right, there are always different sides of people. Sounds like they where pretty rude to you.R.J.Dubya wrote:I have to respectfully disagree with you endorsment of tone2 as a model company.

Also because they do it manually and have to deal with shareit etcettera.
Even IF the bugs you where talking about where Live's fault (as it was with the "first note not played" bug), they have no reason to get that rude.
You're right about posting the experience, especially when i just praised them for being good. I never had that much dealing with them, basically just bought gladiator and chatted a bit with the developer (telling about the vacation etc, and he invited me to come by). Its a good thing you don't wish them any harm but if they did this to me i'd throw them an email telling what exactly happened and that i didn't wish to annoy them. IF they gave me a nice reply, i'd be fine with it. If not i'd probably just ignore them or make some burning posts @ kvr hehe.
And yeah, Gladiator is a nice piece of work. The filters are just stunning, imho. I enjoy and use it for what it does
This guy as in me or michael?i've never had to deal with this guy directly, but i've read his posts and i always though the guy was a bit dramatic and defensive as well..
