Hi all,
Not trying to run the show from my end. I would be happy if everybody interested in owning the software contacted the PA Manager software writers themselves to express an interest then perhaps they may take us seriously as a group.
I do think £80 (with a three pound discount) is a poor offer by them. I'm happy to go with Pax-eterna and Karmathanever although I do think there is room for a higher discount on the £80 offered. I was thinking more on the lines of £70 per license. I don't think that is an unreasonable offer for a piece of editing software.

Has anybody thought of contacting Korg themselves just in case they would assist ? I am more than happy to do that.
Chris

Seems like we are getting bogged down here with this, out of all the members present here it shouldn’t be hard to get at least 10 or maybe 20 who would benefit from getting PA Manager via the route Chris has suggested.

Why not start a sticky thread where people can put their names down and as the list grows it might spur others to add their names.

Guys PaManager is an excellent utility with great features that money can buy and IMO the 3-persons license is already a good deal !

chelsea4023 , personally I'm not disturbed by the use of intensive words especially in criticism of commercial products
and Music tastes so this is not valid concerning me , otherwise I could handle in the proper way ...
But this kind of behavior in posting

Well i think pa manager is way more than a simple editor and that the discount on the already discounted price is very very good...
One of the most useful things that it does and gets it out of the "editor" group is that you can make a new set by just copying styles.You don't have to worry if the user sounds will be copied, if they are overlapping another sets sound position or anything.You just copy styles from as many sets as you wish (as long as there is enough memory left) ,save the set ,load it on keyboard and play!
Also on 3.1 version release a few weeks ago they added compression which saves huge amounts of time compared to the time needed to compress on the keyboard itself...
I am a very happy owner and the customer support is very helpful when needed.
Also any small bugs that i happened to find during the almost 1 year i have it are being solved with an update in a very sort time period!!

Hi chelsea4023
I think mintjamman is correct insofar that this appears to be getting bogged down.
I think that you should take the lead in this project and consider placing a limit of ten persons on a first come first served basis. There will always be difficulties associated with collecting monies (foreign exchange) and distribution and the more persons involved the more problems will occur. It may be considered sensible, therefore,for you to deal with persons on this side of the globe and let
pax-eterna deal with those persons down under.
I also thank you for taking the initiative with this. Having consideration to the owner of this software I am of the view that the reduction being offered is quite acceptable.

Best wishes

Keith Lawton

Hi all,
I think it would be a good idea for Mintjamman to start a list which we can add our names to. It would then indicate exactly how many of us definitely wish to purchase the software.
Could I please be placed on the list.

Hi Keith, I am still waiting to here from somebody at 'PA Manager' headquarters. As soon as I can engage in conversation with them, I will report back. I doubt that they will respond until Monday.
Chris
p.s. I will also speak to Korg at Milton Keynes on Monday morning.

I am also a user of this software and bought version 3 when it was first released after a long wait to use with my PA4X. I think the purchase price of £125 is reasonable considering the complexity of the software and it's limited potential user base, my only wish is that it would allow 2 installations on different platforms (eg mac/PX) within the single license. I can only use one instance of the software at a time so I see no reason to have to buy an additional license to use on my laptop.
In my case I feel the additional license cost to be not viable for a small convenience but I do feel however that the discounted price for 3 licenses is very reasonable in the case of 3 different users.
It's great software and there is nothing else out there that does all it can do so it was a no brainer for me to buy my single license even considering the caveat mentioned above.
Korg would do well to license this software from the developer and distribute it with every new keyboard, I think everyone may be happy as a result.

Just goes to show m8, you don't know as much as think you do...

Do a search on one name and you think you have it all Wink

well matey, you are a long way off.

And truly you do need to get a grip! haha's and such things are meant (in current sms and texting etiquette) to mean not a serious comment, or nothing is personal, or indeed it is a "toungue in cheek" comment.

m8, is what we use in Australia as a generic honorific, eg "how are you going m8"

I'd suggest you get a better grasp of English language nuances and such before launching tirades like your last!

I have helped folks on this forum a lot. Just not under this name Wink

PS: I wasn't going to reply any further re this issue, after my last reference to you, but your last post was way WAY beyond anything I have written!
