This just in from createdigitalmusic.com
"I was curious, though what Mixman had up their sleeve for their next product, and if they'd ever support MIDI. Boy, did I get a response: according to Mixman, the DM2MIDI software is "illegal." Mixman has also cracked down on users trying to host the driver software for their hardware. Here's what Mixman's Rico Appelbaum had to say:
" DM2 as a product is being replaced this X-mas season with the new "Mixman MP3 Producer". As well, there is another product, more advanced, called "Mixman LoopStudio" (you can read about it on our site) which both are combinations of Mixman's custom USB Controller, Mixman Software, and Mixman Sounds.
Mixman has not endorsed nor had anything to do with any of the illegal DM2-to-MIDI applications that have grown up in the last few years.
Another new product around the controller is due out in 06. As of this time, there are no imminent plans to release a new version of the hardware though it has been in discussion."
Mixman, all I can say is, I really hope you'll reconsider. Sure, your super-simplified Mixman software is fun for kids, but should using your hardware with Jitter be a crime? (For the record, DM2MIDI is still very downloadable, so illegal or not, you can get it."
WOW.
this sucks.
what is everyone's thoughts?
