Opcode Galaxy + Universal Editor/Librarian

[katman]

I was one of the lucky few that got an update on my Opcode Galaxy Plus editor/librarian. I was able to download the last version that required an challenge respone type of copy protection. I was able to install it successfully to my Mac G4. I still think it's the best editor/librarian out there. It serves me well because I have new and old sound modules, drum machines, and synths. I think Unisyn is a joke that was basically abandoned by MOTU. Being a DP user, I'm not familiar with Sound Diver. I'm not sure it supports all my sound devices.

I'm considering upgrading to a faster Mac G4 and here's my caviat with Galaxy plus. I just don't know how I can install Galay to my new Mac since I can't get a response to my challenge from the now (THANKS TO GIBSON) non exsistent Opcode.

I think Gibson should offer Galaxy plus as a free download to Opcode's former end users. It would show some kind of good faith from Gibson. At the very least, it should offer a download and the response to the challenge to the latest version of Galaxy on it's site or Opcode's site which is still up (with a 2001 date).

Anybody out there who feels the same as I do about this subject? I'm sure there are still some former Opcode users that would like to get SOME kind of support from Gibson. Let's e mail Gibson, send letters to Keyboard, EQ, EM, and all the other music publications. Wattaya say!!

I agree to some extent - after all, the opcode site is still up there with updates & downloads for other programs. They just aren't supporting them. I just don't know how much of a response we would get from Gibson on the topic.

I know how you feel about this, Shroud. I do believe that organizations and companies sometimes yield to public pressures and negative exposure. Maybe Gibson will head to this, maybe not. It's at least worth an effort to see what happens. If we do nothing, there is a 100% chance that nothing will change.

Very good point. I will gladly help.
