October 9th, 2009 - For the past 2 years, we have been concentrating on developing our New Generation (NewGen™) of applications. These include Translator Mac Universal Binary, Constructor, Instrument Manager, SamplerTools, Kontakt Assistant, MV Kit Creator, and several more.
This NewGen™ technology enables us to provide a level of support unmatched, plus release all our apps on Mac and Windows with identical interfaces and features. It provides for a completely common framework used in every app, enabling consistant support and reusable, powerful technology.

So, many customers have gotten the firstfruits of this technology via instant download, as we have decided not to print any CD/DVD's until the main products - the SamplerTools trio of Translator, Constructor, and Instrument Manager, were feature complete.
Since the downloads work perfectly, there has been no reason to rush to get the CD's printed. A mature CD release is good for everyone, as it is less dependent on the "you must update this copy" annoyance. We also surveyed our customers - most of them would rather wait for these new pressed copies.
Good news: upon the release of Instrument Manager (Oct 2), we can FINALLY get to manufacturing of the CD/DVD's. Our current schedule is ship them out late October. These include:
- Translator
- Constructor
- Instrument Manager
- MV Kit Creator
We will be emailing everyone in advance of this, to get confirmation that we have the correct mailing address still.
HOWEVER! Some people what their CD's NOW. So, if you would like a CD right away, yes, we can always send your package immediately. The only differences are:
- The CD is a CD-R one-off (not pressed)
- The CD has a paper label
- The Translator CD has v2.9.124 (Win)/5.9.76 (Mac) on it, unlike Version 6 with will be on the pressed versions. (Remember this doesn't matter much as all updates are free.) With other programs like the MV Kit Creator, the version is 1.0.
- The Quick-Start sheet (4-page) is a little dated and will not be the 8-page professional-print version.
Again, since the temp download works fine until the CD arrives, most people are waiting for the nice pressed CD's with Version 6. But it's up to you. Just let us know by emailing us at [email protected]
