I bet NI's servers are blowing up right now, with everybody downloading installers for every product they've ever bought.

The problem with this approach is Native Access - which validates and installs their products - requires access to the NI Servers, so people may get the apps they require but they cant (re)install them if NI just "goes away" - which frankly is very very unlikely...

[dannytaurus]

@Lindon Agreed that NI is very unlikely to just suddenly disappear. There's too much valuable IP for that to happen. But there will probably be a mass exodus of staff.

But those servers are getting hammered right now, that's for sure!

@Lindon I know this is a big ask, but if anyone here is deeply familiar with Kontakt or Reaktor it would be really cool if they could cobble together a "HISE for Kontakt/Reaktor developers" guide.

Just terminology and concept translations really.

That would surely help a lot of the new folks to acclimatise to HISE.

People keep asking me for this. I'm just not sure how it would work, the two are so different.

I'll have a think and see if I can come up with a structure that makes sense.

@dannytaurus yeah Dave your man for this - if it can be done at all he would be the one to be able to do it, that he would even want to is a different question....

That's kinda the point!

I'd help if I could, but I only built a couple of basic things in a very old version of Reaktor, and I never got on with Kontakt at all.

@dannytaurus I've received another two requests for this so I'm working on it now :) Might get a video out today or tomorrow...

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey I don't think you need to rush it. Plus, maybe an accompanying document would be good because it can be updated without republishing the video?

Really interesting live stream from Christian Henson

@David-Healey Fascinating stuff! Big takeaway for me is keep your business model simple.
