I bought one to have on reserve. Went with the company in the original OP as it may be years before I need to use this and feel that there's less risk of it being DOA when do use it. Note the following message is post on my license info page:

If you go to Orange Tree's website, log in and check your available downloads - if Melodica is there then you've already got a license.

More info (the rest of) from Tracktion support: Wavesequencer (Tracktion Support) Jun 5, 2023, 5:39 PM PDT Hi Steven, Hyperion is MPE capable, but it was a feature added as a user request late after Hyperion was made public, so the factory patches don't have MPE enabled by default and it would be very difficult to update every patch to have custom MPE assignements. If you click the MPE filter, you will see there is one MPE demo combi patch - 'Blade2047_MPE'. ~~~~ If you would like to use an MPE controller on existing patches (or your own patch designs), it's required to set the MPE mode to 'on' in each layer you want to respond to MPE bend/pressure. You can set the bend up/down ranges to match your controller. Other than pitch bend, if the patch is not already mapped to use the pressure and Y-axis output pins, you would need to map those to whatever parameter you would like them to affect - that's the flexibility of the modular system - you can control any target pin on the voice nodes polyphonically, but since it's a modular synth - there is no pre-assignment in patches as every patch is different. Most MPE controllers will use CC74 for the y-axis parameter, but you can also selected a different CC controller number if necessary, and there are a few custom bend release modes that you could try out (affecting what happens in terms of the pitch bend when the note is released but still decaying the sound). Follow up email from Tracktion: Wavesequencer (Tracktion Support) Jun 5, 2023, 11:56 PM PDT FYI - I did a quick test with Ableton 11 parameter automation, and to my surprise it sends per note pressure as main channel Poly-aftertouch messages rather than channel pressure on each channel associated with each note (maybe that is configurable somewhere), which is the more usual MPE implementation. That seems a bit odd to me because Poly aftertouch MIDI messages functionality has been around forever (and was possibly supported by Ableton for a long time already), and I would expect MPE mode to use per-channel/note mono-pressure messages and not Poly aftertouch. Either way, Hyperion will receive both types of data, but the example patch is making use of the channel pressure messages. I've previously tested with Bitwig DAW and when doing MPE pressure automation (either with a touch screen or automation curves) it used per-channel channel pressure messages for each note. Hardware controllers appear to also make the distinction between Poly AT and MPE mode for polyphonic pressure output - e.g. the ASM Hydrasynth (which I have) sends (mono) channel pressure messages on a channel per note in MPE mode as far as I remember. Actually I'm considering to combine the poly aftertouch and channel pressure output pins in a future release of Hyperion, since it's rare that you would want to or expect to have both types of messages being sent to a synth at the same time. Best regards, Paul. Thanks. Wavesequencer Support Team www.tracktion.com

Did they get back to you on the MPE/Ableton issue? They got back to me (I just noticed, been a busy week)... Per Tracktion: It turns out there is an extra step in Ableton required for external plugins (setting shown below) - then the MPE data gets sent as expected and it receives pressure per note as channel pressure (as well as per channel bends and Y-axis/slide data):

IBTL? Bandlab has been very patient with content of this thread - 15% excitement, 10% joy, 15% anger, 15% whine, 7% confusion, 9% ice, 27% nonsense & filler. but as soon as the content hits 20% anger, 20% whine or 30% nonsense they'll probably lock the thread.

Quite a few scary recent reviews on TrustPilot... Avoid the website like a Plague, This is a scam site that takes my money…, Customer support impossible to reach

Meh (no insult intended), nothing that Larry or others haven't done countless times before and this was an offer put out by Arturia that others might have missed.

In regards to those who have systems that can't run Windows 11 and can't/won't upgrade their hardware - that's like living on a cruise ship where the motors have issues and the lifeboats have stopped working. Sooner or later the proverbial iceberg is going to come along (like Sonar or Next requiring Win 11) and you're then your SOL. No offense to those who can't upgrade their hardware - I've been there at multiple different times in the past, sometimes you just can't. MAC users face this upgrade dilemma on a regular basis.

Actually @kitekrazy response is dead on. Neither MS or Apple view selling the OS as viable as a major income stream. OS Licensing for hardware bundling and corporate sales (Window 11 enterprise upgrade is not free) are MS's bread & butter. Individual licenses are available for purchase for small OEM dealers, people who build their own systems or can't otherwise upgrade from qualified earlier versions.

So it's agreed then - everyone is going back to DOS?

In regards to the logic puzzle: Family Name - Car Color Left Side of the block Red - Red Orange - Red Yellow - Red Right Side of the block Green - Red Blue - Red Purple - Red Indigo - Silver (these guys are jerks and always have been)

^^ Not the same deal... and not through JRR. This is in response to the formal release/upgrade announcement by Arturia about FX Collection 4, but I do see that there is some overlap if you bother to burrow down into the previous thread.

The difference is between what is possible and what is plausible. Possible maybe, plausible no. If by Easter your referring to the Easter Bunny... that's a national tragedy. Thousands of poor rabbits going into diabetic shock and comas as children force feed them sugary treats so that they could lay better eggs.

They could also add the clause: This offer is limited to former LifeTime license holders on the condition that they shut the **** up and stop whining!''

Regarding Gibson's LifeTime license... If Bandlab is even concerned about this issue (and they very well might not be) they could get in front of it by offering 'Lifetime' users a free 6 month or year subscription to the new Sonar. Kind of a hey "while we are not responsible or liable for the dishonest ridiculous cash grab maneuvers of another company - we acknowledge your frustration and without admitting or assuming liability we'll throw you this bone."

Here's my contribution to this thread of rampant unsubstantiated speculation... per Next page: https://www.cakewalk.com/next/ (highlighting mine) Easily & Streamline to my thinking imply a simplified UI/program or at least a different one. Makes me wonder if Next will be the rebirthing of Project5.

Sorry, I already have too many of this kind of library already and don't have the hard disk space for more. I just stumbled across the deals so I presented them. I found a couple of video demos...
