Hey, guys, does anyone know where I can get the Prodyssey's & B-2003's demos online?
I've tried to download from FTP the "nokeys" OXE versions but they say: insert serial! :sad:
I've heard some (few) MP3 about, but I wish try these synths before my buy.
Thanks in advance :wink:

There are no demo's at the moment, and hasnn't been for quite a while, so you will have to manage with the mp3's.

well, those demos allowed to study ways to bypass (not crack!) the protection - at least that's my interpretion of the story :wink:

to be precise: in those (demo) days you could download a plugin that was generated for your card, once (for each board id) and time limited.

since the timeout check obviously was executed in a certain situation (only) it would be rather easy to detect the pattern and write a patch.
At least a 1000 times easier than to break the board id/encryption thing.
it's not their fault...

cheers, Tom

ps: if you want a Hammond emulation at all, there's no better than the B2000.
Natives B4 is rather similiar, but CWA's version has more detailed fx and a way(!) better tone (thicker and more 'analog')

Prodyssey has a great synth engine (as usual), but also significant deviations from the original - so it depends on your demand of authenticity if it's for you.

Thanks :smile:
Yes, for B2000 I agree, there's no real alternative (because also the real thing is very expensive and heavy!!!)

My firs desire is about (Pro)Odissey real 1:1 emulation (like Minimoog<=>MInimax) and the news that this is not a real emulation make me sad.
And there's no good software alternative.
G-media ones is old and surpassed, Creamware's Prodyssey is not so true... maybe Arturia's ARP 2600v... but is not the same model.
The DSP emulation is, for me, even better than native but if Prodyssey is not so close to Odissey maybe it becomes not a good deal.
