NI Insolvency

[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!

[dannytaurus]

@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.

"HISE for Kontakt/Reaktor developers" guide.

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.

[Lindon]

@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.

Panic over? (sarcasm)

Can't help thinking a message from the CEO would have been better before all the kerfuffle?

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus Nothing new in that statement, just CEO waffle. Probably limited on what he's able to say.

This is the end of an era. AI will be the standard. NI didn’t realize that. Hope HISE does. ( by adding deep integration with AI frameworks. Dataset processing etc)

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Yeah, it was meant to be sarcastic. Too dry I suppose. Edited

Standard of what?

No doubt with that. Although we have friends with opposing views, I agree with you on the same point.

I hope HISE will be an AI workbench.

AI workbench.

What does that mean?
