Hello everyone,
I'm new to Arturia so I cannot really say anything about the past.
As for now, storm 3 is still in devellopment and the betatest is running.
When it will be finalized, it will be announced on the web site and the price policy will be explained.
I'm sorry for my english.
I hope you will be enjoying this new version.
En français :
Je suis nouveau chez Arturia donc je ne peux pas vraiment parler du passé. Pour le moment Storm 3 est toujours en développement et le betatest est en cours.
Lorsque le version finale sera disponible, elle sera annoncée sur le site et la politique de prix sera expliquée.
Merci à tous
The webmaster

So, what about official info at http://www.arturia.com/pressbook/pr/Arturia_PR_Storm3_040331.pdf that Storm 3.0 will be shipping on May 3? After such long time waiting your still-friendly-customers should know the answer for a simple question *WHEN*. In one month, two, year...?
-
Hello,
According to the team Storm 3 will be late for logistic reasons, we hope it will be available around May 10.
Sorry for the late
-
Thanks for the details. Can't wait for May. Dreams have come true :)
-
Can you tell or show us the New midi/audio feature and what will it be able to do? :?
-
All that I can say is that Storm 3 will allow to import/edit MIDI files.
The software can be synchronized as Master or Slave with exteranl hardware gears.
The web-site will soon (probably around May 10) describe new features more in details.
Sylvain
-
A new "General MIDI sampler" should play samples, am I right? The only question is: there will be only samples integrated with Storm or you will be able to load any sample you want, or maybe it will be an original (developed by Arturia) sample format. Come May, come...
-
Well in fact it is a General MIDI Synthesizer. It includes 223 sounds and 18 drumkit. It allows opening any midi file.
On every sound, it is possible to : edit cutoff frequency, filter's resonance, pitch bend and modulation.
regards
Sylvain

Hey, the main page is down... www.arturia.com. :?:
Could be a good thing... they're loading the Storm 3 launch splash. :lol:
Could be a bad thing... Arturia has gone to sleep. :x
-
Well, the side has been down twice already, but nothing happened... I'm really excited, whether I will be able to buy Storm 3 in four days... I want it, and I want it now! :twisted: Or at least next week :D
-
Hi guys,
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but our web site is experiencing problems because of the server which is hosting it.
However I can say Storm 3 is not far from being released :)
Sylvain
-
Online stores have listed that Storm 3 was suppose to be available by the end of April. Also, is Storm 3 a free upgrade for 2.0 users? :?
-
its for free !!!

Not far!?!? Another delay? Well, I still believe in next week!

Sylvain,
could you please comment on the idea of releasing Storm 3 this week? Or any other facts ? Waiting is getting even harder, the closer Storm 3 gets :cry:
-
Hello everybody
According to developpers, Storm will be finalized a the end of this week.
I hope it will be ok !
:)
-
Well, it's not the first time you promise us this but let's assume it.
IF developpers are ok for the end of the week, storm can't be sold until 2 weeks at least regarding the time you need to produce CDs, manuals, ...
Moreover, there are a lot of free days in France during May.
So we stormers may have to wait for (i hope) 3 weeks at least.
I hope the pleasure we will have is bigger than the pain we have to wait.
-
I would agree. IF Storm 3 will be finished this week, we might buy it in two or three weeks (in the best case!). But preorder in the online shop should be possible perhaps already next week... IF everything works fine...
-
End of this week. No new material online... What's up?
-
Hello guys,
I have put the pages about the new Storm online :)
It is possible to order it now but the software will be sent out from May 28, 2004 according to the team.
Have a good day

http://www.arturia.com/en/storm3newfeat.lasso
There are two ways to order Storm 3.0:
If you registered your storm Storm version after november 1st 2003, you can order Storm 3.0 for free (without manual).
If your Storm is older tha november 1st you can buy the new one for 50 euros / 50 dollars (without manual).
The new manual can be bought separatly for 10 euros / 10 dollars
-
What about demo? I'd like to try before I buy. Peace.
-
I waited all of this time just to find out that since I bought the boxed version of Storm 2.0 3 weeks before your November 1st deadline, that I have to pay $50 for the upgrade to Storm 3. Thanks for the big let down. :evil:
-
Great! I just ordered it. What about the demo? I did not try the Storm demo link, but it seems to be the old one, right? A demo would be fantastic!
-
I'm a little reluctant to cough up another $50 until I know for sure that the corrupt song file problem is fixed.
Maybe I'll wait to see how this works out for everyone else.
-
I, a chronic complainer about Storm’s limitations and support, happily plunked down sixty-five bucks for this significant upgrade. Did they get it right this time? Third time’s a charm...
-
What the hell those guys think? Where's demo? Unbelivebly stupid management at arturia :evil: :evil: :evil: . I WANT DEMO BEFORE I BUY. Yo, can you hear me there? Good.

When I purchased my copy of Storm 1.5 Arturia said that I would get free upgrades for life. So why do I now have to pay 50 euros?

When I purchased my copy of Storm 1.5 Arturia said that I would get free upgrades for life. So why do I now have to pay 50 euros?
Yep, that's also what I remember! 1.5 was "free for life" or so...
Another 50 euros for a good upgrade seems to me reasonable though, but STILL I'd like to hear a good answer (a good answer for a good upgrade) regarding the lifetime free upgrade. Please.
Let's keep smiling all,
Bye
-
If the 50 euros is to cover postage, cd manafacture etc. why no online download?
-
Hello,
A demo will be released and put on the site in the weeks to come.
Concerning the free upgrade for life, I wasn't in the Arturia team a this time but the management says they did not promise it.
Sorry guys
Sylvain
-
Sorry, one of the main the reasons I purchased Storm was the promise of free upgrades. If you are now denying you offered that guess I'll spend my 50 euros somewhere else.
-
Concerning the free upgrade for life, I wasn't in the Arturia team a this time but the management says they did not promise it.
Oh, yes, they did.
But every company who promises that changes their policy eventually.
-
It's a shame !!! I am one of the first Storm users. In 2000, I bought it for 227 euros (1490 FF). And now, I should spend 60 more for the new upgrade, really bad :!: :roll: You ought not to forget you have old customers ...

Frech comerz Mafia!!! 0 Points to frech !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frech comerz Mafia!!! 0 Points to frech !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey...Sophie!... I just checked your website and I can say I am definitely ready to pay you at least a 50 (for a quick shag). Then you can buy the upgrade too!
Oh yeaaah baby!
Love you.

Well I was not part of Arturia when the upgrade policy was exposed so I cannot tell if it is true or not.
Anyway what is the point in comming here to insult people and to criticise French ? (which is totaly out of the subject)
If you do not want to pay 50 euros to buy the upgrade then do not buy it if you think it is unacceptable.
This is not a political forum and not even a place to come and insult people.
Thanks,
Sylvain
-
You should erase this kind of insulting useless posts Sylvain !
If you do not want to pay 50 euros to buy the upgrade then do not buy it if you think it is unacceptable.
As far as I'm concerned, I will pay for the upgrade cause I always use Storm whatever I may compose and besides the new features are quite interesting ! But, in some way, I feel as if Arturia had forgotten their old customers :cry: Though, never mind, I will always be here to support the work of this great developper team. At the moment, I'm just saving some money to buy the amazing CS80V, Mg modular V and MiniMg plugs :twisted:
Keep up the great work :!:

50 euros in not the end of the world.
On the other hand, saying the 'lifetime free upgrade' was never there is a straight lie.
It should be very easy for you as a webmaster - to check the old versions of Arturia's Storm webpages, and you'll find the 'free upgrade' policy there plain and simple.
-
of course 50euro$ is not the end of the wolrd... and lies of these kind do not kill !
But the licenced stormers were promised to have free upgrades of the software... and saying the contrary is a lie !
Proof ? Do I read something like : "For all registered users: Updates of the studio and new modules free on our web site !! "
there : http://web.archive.org/web/20010218223803/www.arturia.com/en/storm_technic.html
or am I dumb ?

Hi guys,
Well I think everyone can understand the policy. The modules added to storm since the first version were free and so were the updates.
Now the link you give do not promise free upgrade for life.
It seems quite logical to me that Arturia won't spend its time developping software that will be totally free.
If a printer company sells you an ink jet printer and says that cartidges will be available for everyone it does not mean that they will provide cartidges for life.
Well anyway may be there is a place where Arturia said that the upgrade will be free for life, I don't know. But the policy for Storm 3.0 is to make it cost 50 euros if Storm 2.0 is older than November 1st.
I'm sorry for those who were expecting more and I'm sorry if there was a lie.
Have a good day
Sylvain
-
i'm ready to pay $50, but I'dl ike to try demo first. There are some strange things going on... It makes me sad, Arturians. Peace.
-
I still want to wait and see if the file corruption problems have been resolved. I encountered this problem on ALL platforms (Win 98, XP, Mac) and never got any response here about it. Trying a demo wouldn't help -- the problem was random and not reproducible, so it might not happen until after I've already bought the upgrade.
Lack of communication is frustrating. I'd be a lot more likely to upgrade if Arturia would have said something about this problem, and that it has been DEFINITELY fixed now. But I haven't seen a word here about it.
-
I ordered Storm 3 because of the possibility to use more than four sound modules and I only used the demo of Storm 2 for a short time. I don't know about the problems, that occured there, but I agree with everyone, who wants more Information before buying or upgrading. I just believe in Arturia and I hope I will not be disappointed :)
-
Well ! I remember Storm2 release period... we waited and waited again with the promise made for a really improved new version and finally, we get the upgrade for Storm2 for free !
But what a disappointement ! Storm2 was a piece of crap for which I wouldn't have spend half a penny ! even the time spent online to download the upgrade wasn't worse it !
So I sometimes still use Storm 1.5 to produce a loop or 2 and I have left far behind the hope for valuable upgrades. So I surely not upgrade to any money-costing newer version, as long as my good memory reminds me the "free ugrade for life" promise made few years ago that has been forgotten by you !
Now that I met Reason and Cubase (these people DO mind for their customers and the products DO work fine !)... and I will leave Storm for the children.
Sorry !
-
For me, it is really hard to compare Arturia with the Propellerheads. I bought every Version of Reason and I will buy every update to come, because they are always great and real improvements.
And: Yes, I really do expect this from Strom 3, too. I hope that my copy will leave Arturia tomorrow, so I can judge as soon as possible, if it is worth to order. I am still optimistic.
-
Bon je vais pas la faire en anglais parce que ca me gonfle !
Je trouve le topic de ce forum et les remarques qui y sont contenues, totallement irrespectueuses envers le travail que Arturia fourni !!!
D'ou sortent ces guguss (pour ne pas employer le terme pignouf) qui croient pouvoir bénéficier de mise a jour gratuite a vie ???
C''est totalement anticommercial comme procédé et c'est simplement impossible. Faut pas regarder loin , si tout est gratuit qui va payer les pauvres petits devellopeurs d'Arturia ??? :)
Déja qu'il paraitrait qu'on les enferme dans une cave, attachés a leur chaise pour coder le logiciel ...
Pour parer a des remarques totallement débiles des users qui se manifestent aggressivement, a la place d'Arturia je repondrait,
Ta mise a jour de la 1.5 tu peux la faire a vie !
1.5 c'est 1.5
pas 3
donc tu mets a jour ta 1.5 et tu la ferme
CORDIALEMENT :)
Koronis
ps: koukou didzadron !:)

Je rajouterais !
Pour les pauvres gars qui se permettent des commentaires du genre "je vais passer a Cubase et Reason et laisser Storm aux enfants"
Laisser moi rire, mais alors la ! je me marre, parce que les mises a jours d'un cubase ou d'un reason, vous allez les sentir passer :)
on va voir si c du free for life .
et c autrement plus cher :)
-
My french is not that good, but I agree, that this permanent grumbling is no way to deal with a programm, you never used. I am sure that I will like Storm 3 the same way I like Reason 2.5, which is in fact much more expensive by the way. :wink:
Sylvain, is it already shipping?
-
Free for life means free for life.
As for the value of Storm, there's plenty of other equally good (and better) software around - much of it free. I am now using a FREE vst host and Free vsti with a FREE midi studio. With this I can create good music/samples which can be easily mixed via my FREE audio software.
-
Forgot to say I also have a FREE Soundfont device which has given me access to an excellent (FREE) GM soundbank. I also have an excellent GM module of my PC's soundcard.
-
Never seen “adults” get so contorted over spending fifty bucks for an upgrade, regardless of vaguely-worded promises for which they can’t provide tangible evidence.
Who cares what Arturia promised three years ago? Did any of you ever try to run a software company? This looks to be a significant upgrade, and each of us either wants it or doesn’t.
If you want it, buy it, or wait for the demo and then decide. If you refuse to spend a tiny sum for a huge upgrade, that’s your problem. I’m sure Arturia is comfortable losing their non-paying customers.
-
Yeh I agree with the last post entirely... I've ordered the upgrade even though somewhere once I remember it was to be free, who cares life moves on, to a degree we're lucky they revisited Storm at all.
Since getting Storm2 making music has been good fun for me as I
reckon being able to smoke, chat with a friend, and create a song using Storm2 all at the same time is just about paradise!
Some folks have complained about sound quality with Storm2, gee, for me
it basically comes out of the simplistic yet functional mixer ready to print.
I like alot about Storm2 and if anything I am a bit worried about Storm3
being more finicky to use that the clean design of Storm2.
Personally I'm praying that the record "long bits of audio" bugs have been fixed entirely, and that various minor anomlies have been fixed up, if that happens then maybe I'll actually go out and once more buy a keyboard controller and actually "need" to "perform" an actual note or two!
Apart from that, the abuse thrown at Arturia is absolutely transcendentally horrible especially considering the actual software that the team have managed to engineer. Storm2 was a great relief for me and in my view a totally wonderful bit of kit, it's become my guitar, ie, the instrument I use when I just feel like jamming a new tune.
I say show some respect
to the Arturia team!
-
Agree with the last two posts.
If you are going to slander a company and make comments of this nature at least have the guts too attach a valid email address and ISP number to your post.
This is the grossest display of immaturity I've ever seen.
The appaulign behaviour being displayed is not from Arturia.
It's from the bile spilling off your keypad into here.
What you reap you sew.
How toxic are you/these people.
Seriously unpleasent.
I do not blame Arturia for bothering to glorify these posts with a response.
Grow up.
Or grow old and bitter.
-
I wouldn’t let Arturia completely off the hook -- their support and maintenance upgrade history has been absolutely pathetic. They deserve the occasional well-placed jab.
The company behaves more like a profitable hobby than a serious business, so their apparent short attention span is to be expected. Their creativity is more important than their execution.
Recall the hoopla when Storm 2 came out, followed by a deafening silence as they wandered off into Mg plugins and such. And now the hoopla has returned! And we welcome it!
-
I almost missed forager_xp saying, “We're lucky they revisited Storm at all.”
That is so true. I had completely given up on Storm going anywhere.
-
Thanks to : Me & Forager ! you're totally in true.
Sorry for my english , i'm too bad :)
Quand au guest qui nous parle de menteurs et autre, etant un utilisateur de storm depuis la premiere version jusqu'a la derniere, jamais je n'ai vu de free for life, et pour le prix de vente du produit, faudrait effectivement voir a ne pas exagerer non plus.
Quand a ses menaces de ruiner la reputation d'arturia, non mais franchement c'est a mourir de rire, je lui souhaite bien du courage, et qu'il commence par avoir le courage de signer ses messages et on en reparlera :) non mais quelle rigolade ...
si le pourrissage de forum lui amene quelque chose.
Quand a son discours sur les vst, qu'il commence par nous prouver qu'il travaille sur un cubase legal ou equivalent, et puis tant qu'a faire, puisque ca a l'air primordial pour lui la gratuité, qu'il nous propose des configurations FREE pour faire de la musique, et occasionnellement qu'il nous fournisse des exemples de ses productions musicale, qu'on puisse se faire une idée sur son travail , et qu'on rigole un peu :)
de telles attitudes sont déplorables, et gageons que ces stupides remarques seront virées du forum, pour laisser la place aux REELS utilisateurs de Storm, qui d'apres ceux que je connais, sont fideles et respectueux du travail fourni !!!
l'echange n'en sera que meilleur !

compliments of freetranslation.com:
When to the guest that talks about us liars and other, being a user of storm since the first version even has the last one, never I did not see free for life, and for the sale price of the product, would be necessary effectively to see has not non exagerer more.
When has its threats to ruin the arturia reputation, no but frank this is has to die laugh, I wish to him well courage, and that it starts with to have the courage to sign its messages and one some will repair no but which rigolade... If the forum pourrissage brings him something.
When has his speech on the vst, that it starts with to prove us that it works on a cubase legal or equivalent, and then so as has to do, since ca seems essential for him wantonness, that it proposes us configurations FREE to do music, and occasionally that it furnishes us examples of its musical productions, that one can be done an idea
Of such attitudes are deplorable, and suppose that these stupid remarks will be turned forum, to leave the place to the REELS users of Storm, that of apres those that I know, are fideles and respectful of the furnished work!!!
The echange not some will be that better!

Sylvain, can you please post in the Storm 3 thread, if it already ships? It should, right? I get sick of all this stupid crap I read some posts above in this thread and I just want to form my own opinion, AFTER having it used... :)

Hey, a moderator who knows Storm and all that is related to is needed here. It can't keep going on this way. Those jerks' insanities are ruining the great work you've been doing for years !!! Don't let them do !

Ten years ago it would have been unheard of to be able to have a completely integrated software studio. Several of the posts in the past month or so are obscene and should be deleted. I am interested in Storm 3 and being part of a users community, not reading gripes about a few dollars or euros for a product dramatically less expensive than Reason. Anyway, my question is: are the any fundamental changes to the drum sounds in Storm 3.0? javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
-
are the any fundamental changes to the drum sounds in Storm 3.0
My money says no, unhappily, for two reasons: one being that the modules look identical to the current crop; two being that if they had made changes, they would’ve certainly mentioned it.
I hope I’m wrong!
-
I'm hoping Hook module ain't messed with cause it is whicked!
-
Hello everyone,
First, concerning Storm 3.0, it is shipping so if you ordered it you can expect to get it :)
To the guest who spend his time insulting Arturia : I deleted some posts because I really don't see any reason that can justify them. I you really want to talk about respect, then first learn it.
The demo must be available very soon (at the beginning of the next week I think) so you will be able to make your idea.
I hope you will carry on enjoying creating music with Arturia's software
Best regards,
Sylvain
-
No new post since Friday... Anyone already got it? I am also still waiting... I am excited what will arrive earlier: Demo or full version :)
-
To reiterate what someone else said. Arturia support is terrible. I got in contact with them on may 21st to order my upgrade to Storm3 and my registration is not correct (even though my unlock code is good). I exchanged e-mails with customer support up until about a week ago and then they stopped responding. It wasn't really all that long ago either that I purchased Storm. I bought Storm at the end of February and I'm still not able to order an upgrade. Not withstanding the upgrade someone could be using my identity other than my own. If there is another J Putnam on this forum- hey I've got your log-in.
BTW: Did someone say Rewire is buggy still. Man that was the REASON I bought Storm to begin with. Where is the line for the refund?
-
Hello guys,
Storm 3.0 demo is online, you can now download it in the Download->Demo section of the site
Have a nice day

:( Hello to every one... i'm a user of Storm from it's first version. It could be saw as i believe in it... i try the new 3 release. There are a lot of new things and good things... :) but a lot of bad things :(
I'm really disapointed with two things that are really important to me:
I'm sure that i've read that Storm 3 would use VST and VSTI, but it's not at all the case. I tried in various way, try to import a rewired instrument like Vsampler 3 and it takes only the VST effect that Vsampler find. but only on the instruments. If i open Live 3.04 in Storm as a rewire slave, no VSTs at all... That's amazing that you didn't take care of this basis. You would tell me: "hey man use it as a slave..." but why telling it's a sequencer if i can't use other VSTIs with it. I don't understand... :? The second bad things that i don't like, perhaps you'll tell me there is a solution... You can't add effect on the master. It would be interesting to add a compressor or a VST (oops) master effect but no...
Good things, yes, i really like the improvement of being able to add more than 4 instruments and 3 effects, as if it started in 2nd version to use the rewire process to launch 2 storm but hungry on the CPU idea. Well, i will dive in the sequencer, but it really seems to be cool and easyediting oriented. Why the keyboard on the left isn't active on the instrument?
Last thing that lot of people complain about that, and you try to tell you didn't tell such thing... OOOOH what a shock when i read i would have what i did... But now i'm thincking i did bad... i paid for an upgrade to software that i was told i won't pay for the rest of my life any more upgrade. It was one of its major keyselling points. Hey that's a lying publicity. I wanted to shut up when i read this but now after trying the 3rd release i feel like i was stolen... Sorry, but i beleieve that it's why the on-line demo could so much time to be release at the same period that receiving my upgrade. I don't know what to thinck, will i sell my license, already thinck of that... Will i try more, well why not, but many basic points telling me it would take me more time to use 4 apps to do my productions and not have to use only two...
I don't want to hurt you, be a bad guy spitting on your work and i really believ you did a good and great job. But i'm desapointed and i believ i'm not the only one. this message is here not to do some bad things to you it's just to explain my point of view and to tell to care about users and what they need. I thinck it's the better way for a compagny to live a long live and be recognize as a good provider of what it does.
Best regards,

P.S. My message can be deleted from this forum but i hope by giving one my website, i won't be spam by "fanatics". We are in democracy so why not telling our point of view...

Hey 7fan, you do have the right to say what you think of this upgrade ! As for me, I think that this upgrade is cool cause I've always considered Storm more like a concept than like a "can do everything" soft. I mean that Storm is the most user friendly studio you can find all around so to my mind, Arturia adds new features progressively while keeping this first aim in sight.
And like you, there are things I don't appreciate from the arturia team. The most important is that they get old users to pay for this upgrade, it's unfair. Here's my explanation :
I paid 227 eur in 2000 for the very fist version of Storm, supported it, beta tested the 1.5 upgrade and now I should pay 50 more euros. Ok, it's not a big amount but what I dislike is the way we, customers, are treated by Arturia. For this reason, even if I like what I've tested through the demo, I won't upgrade to v3. Everybody has his point of view, that's mine and I don't care what the others will think about it ...

So far, no good.
I think my 1.8 Ghz P4 with 512MB should be able to handle Hork sent through a compressor along with a little pattern on Bass52. Assuming that’s true, then Storm 3 is a sick puppy. Screen redraw problems tip one off the approaching meltdown that happens every time, usually within a few minutes. I can’t blame this squarely on Storm, but I certainly don’t have any other software that blows up in my face like this.
And speaking of Hork and Bass52, Arturia doesn’t appear to have done anything to bring them up to speed. Same toyish sounds, same discombobulated hi-hat, same drifting bass tonalities. Sometimes I think I’m the only one who knows these modules exist anymore, which saddens me; they’re what got me hooked on Storm in the first place.
Oh well, I spent the sixty bucks blindly, more as a vote of confidence than as an expense for a tool. Such great potential. Silly me.

Well I'm still waiting for the software to arrive in the mail so I only can use the demo.
Regarding the bass....I do find the GM synth to have some really cool bass sounds, my problem is that there are just too many timing issues,
freezes, stutters and so on....I was hoping,praying that perhaps these were caused by bodgy code that is running the demo time limit clock
causing interupts, however, this seems a long shot....anyway, I'm sad because I would really love to A/get my copy of storm3 and also,
I'd like it to work properly which the demo does not on my clean system.
peace

I agree that the GM module does have some decent sounds. However, I wish I could use the wonderful programming features of the Hork and Bass52 modules and direct their patterns into GM instruments of my choosing. That way I wouldn’t have to use a keyboard-based piano roll to “play” drums. Otherwise, it’s just another music studio that uses a piano roll to spit out GM sounds... big deal.
I think the demo constraints have nothing to do with the problems you’re having. I could get to like this version very much -- despite what’s missing or still wanting -- if only the damn thing worked.

Hey Sylvain, hope you had a nice weekend, because you’re in for a rough week. Your new job is to provide public support for the buggiest piece of @#$% to come along in quite some time.
I’d contact you by email, but you seem to have omitted your address from your profile -- how Arturian.

Hello,
I am not a developper and I'm not the one in charge for the Storm support. If you have problem you can contact arturia's support at "support@arturia.com".
Best regards

If the support department truly is concerned, why did they trot you out? Shouldn’t they be participating in the Arturia forums?
-
I bought Storm believing I would never have to pay again. Payed for the last upgrade begrudgingly, but now I find I have to pay again. I feel conned.
Is everyone just giving in and paying?
-
I thought the same at first to be honest but I can assure you it's really worth the money ! :D

This forum has got to be the worst advertisement for any product, EVER!
I came here to try and get a feel for users' experience with Storm & how well the publisher relates to it's user-base etc.etc.
On the evidence of this forum - this thread in particular - I'm going to run like hell with my cash, away from here!
You've got some idiot 'administrator' here who constantly parrots off the same rubbish about release dates, upgrade costs and not having or knowing anything to do with 'the past of arturia' - so basically doesn't know anything...
I mean, how useful is this?
And if something's not agreeable (like the truth) then the post gets deleted!
I thought I'd check out Storm as Arturias analogue synth classics are simply outstanding. My guess was if their production suite is just half as good then goodbye Reason, Cubase etc.etc.
Oh no...
Even Steinberg support is better than this!
Administrator - do you get paid for this??? Shameful...
