One thing you guys have to understand, which has no bearing on this
thread really, but I'll mention it here anyway: there is *no* money
to be made in the softsynth business. 95% of your installed product
will have been pirated. NI and their fellows have been fighting an
uphill battle for a long time in this regard ... its a very difficult
thing for a company to manage its growth in the midst of this risk.

So, to try to add all the inherent risks of hardware manufacturing to
their business ... well, that's not easy, which is why we haven't
seen fancy control surfaces for things like REAKTOR. Yet.

Be interesting to see what Apple come up with in regards to EMagics
soft-synth offerings...

Sorry, I have to disagree. There's money, just not anything like as much as
it might look like to a casual observer. That's where business plans run
aground... I have a lot of sympathy for the human beings involved,
especially those with families, but ultimately they didn't do their market
research properly and that's just plain foolishness in ANY market.

>95% of your installed product will have been pirated.

Absolutely true... that's just the way it is. However, the same factor that
brings about this massive piracy problem - the Net - means that marketing,
sales, distribution etc. costs can be ever so much lower than the
traditional model; furthermore, the knowledge sharing that the Net promotes
among developers (like this list, the VSTplugins developer list...) also
brings about a massive reduction in development cost compared to how it
works out there in the "real" world. Doesn't make stealing peoples' hard
work in any way morally right - it isn't!!! - but it's easier to live with
it as a developer once you understand that.

Hey, I'm not saying that the softsynth business can't be successful,
just that (and this is where I regret the mistaken cross-post,
because it omits some of the context) in comparison to the hardware
synth business, it's a much steeper climb to solvency, because you
cannot *manage* piracy.

Whereas, similar limitations in the hardware world can be managed
because the product is real.

I don't really understand what you're saying here. If you mean that
the 'nets 'sharing' factor promotes technological growth in this
field, this is very true - but I fail to see how this justifies
piracy in the same realm. Sure, the same mechanics that makes one
possible also allow the other, but 'shared knowledge gain' is not in
the same boat as 'shared pirated apps'. If piracy were solved today,
us like-minded tech folks would *still* be using the 'net to share
info, help each other out, etc.

From my personal (I do not ever speak officially for Access)
position, as a developer, the 'net is golden. But the software
synthesizer business - until Palladium (yuck) comes along or some
such thing - is not so golden ... and in the meantime, there are
still *so many* interesting and worthwhile challenges to be faced in
the hardware world.
