Hello guys,

found this thread while searching for a Program to see the drumkits in the several sets I use. I donate the 30$ with Paypal, but now see that this thread is very sleepy in the last weeks.

Do you work on new updates? Or won´t there be any other?


sorry for my English, its long time ago, I learned English in school :lol:

Children!!! Don't buy this program. It very bad person. I to it have offered 30 dollars, it has sent me key week later, the program hasn't worked, I to it have told about it, and to it business isn't present before!!! I even have rebooted operating system, thinking, what is it will help, but also it hasn't helped... More month as it has received from me 30 dollars, and the program I Already have passed and haven't used. I don't understand, how it it could take and precipice when knows, what at the person проблемму with its program?!

Hi all.
I'm issuing an official warning now.

I will black list Babosh and his program from this forum if he does not start responding to peoples email, PM's and posts within the next 3 days. I expect to see action here and people receiving what they paid for.

If not, Babosh will be banned from this forum for abandoning people and taking their money without delivering a working product.

Regards
Sharp.

Baboosh,

There has been too long a silence from you. The software is unfinished. Your promises have not been delivered. You should refund the money you have received to everyone who has paid you, and then either abandon the development or continue the development in your own time until it is finished and documented. Then you can advertise it for sale on your own web site just like any other software developer.

My support for you and this "development-by-attrition" is ended.

Regards,
Rob

With all due respect. Please give Baboosh a chance and more time. He has done a great job for all PA users and for no return. Now he is working on the biggest one. Please understand that this stuff takes a long time especially when you don’t own a keyboard. Plus I’m assuming he has a life and primary job and a family to take care of. We don’t know what he is going through, but the bottom line is he is doing something that is very needed and no one else is willing to do (even Korg!)! The money he is collecting is considered donation to motivate him to develop this software for us.


Baboosh, Please contact me, I have some good news.



Thank you

Meso thats all very well and good, and I am SURE people would understand.

But he MUST keep contact. Even if only to say exactly what you said. That he IS working on it and he has not forgotten those who have already bought a licence.

Hi meso.
With all due respect. Please give Baboosh a chance and more time.
The time allowed is what I have specified and no more than that. It doesn't take someone a month to reply to an email, posts, or PM's.

He has done a great job for all PA users and for no return.
That's not true, he has been paid money in advanced by the people who bough licences to this application that doesn't not even function.
Please understand that this stuff takes a long time especially when you don’t own a keyboard.
How long does it take to reply to someone on a thread, and email or PM. Or to even send someone a key for the software they bought.
Plus I’m assuming he has a life and primary job and a family to take care of.
Don't we all.
It's not like he has 30 kids to feed and has to plough the fields himself with only a cow for help.
We don’t know what he is going through, but the bottom line is he is doing something that is very needed and no one else is willing to do (even Korg!)!
Exactly, you don't know anything. He could have decided he can't go any further and you are all left with a program you paid for that does not work, and has the ability to damage your Pa2X.
he money he is collecting is considered donation to motivate him to develop this software for us.
Beware of that one.

A donation is more or less a non refundable item. You have issued an exchange of money and done so as a donation, not as a transaction for an exchange of goods or services.

Meaning your basically screwed if he decides to take your money and just ditch the program right now. Since the donation is a set fee of 30 euro and not a buy now button with a set fee, there is no requirement under Pay Pal terms for an exchange of goods or a service on his behalf.

Regards
Sharp.

Arranger Software by Baboosh

Post by Lasantha »

I agree with Rob and others.

We all trusted Baboosh implicitly and made upfront payments for a piece of software that was barely in Beta form and he has NOT delivered on his promise. So I am expecting an immediate refund, I will de-install the application and will not use it. Frankly, I feel we were ripped off.

You know, those which I have sent 30 dollars to it, for me very big money, it besides that at us in the country wages in month of 150-200 dollars. Besides, I have still paid percent of one company which has transferred my money on PayPal as I don't have accounting record PayPal. And at me too family, children... I have written to it that the program doesn't work, he has asked to send once again ID, I have sent to it, and the answer isn't present till now... If has received money, if you please bring matters to the end and at once, instead of vanish for weeks or even on month... Everything that I wished to make through its program, I have made in most Korg, намучавшись is strong... I such wouldn't allow myself, knowing that at the person of problem with my program which has paid for it and waits for the decision, to take and precipice...

Excuse me for my English.

Okay I see everyone’s point and I understand & agree! I was just looking at Baboosh as a hope, as a someone that is willing to do something important (at least for me) that no one else has the willingness and the knowledge to get done!(the PA SET software). And I was thinking let’s not piss him off and be more than patients with him. But you are right; he can’t just take his sweet time and be unresponsive!

Btw Sharp, (just a side note) when I said “he’s done a great job for all PA users and for no return” I was talking about the PCM reader software!

I hope we hear from him soon, so we can move on with this and get this project done.

Baboosh, Please PM me when you read this! My email is: abokorg@gmail.com

Thanks

He was slow on replying from day one, and he still hasn't backed off, it takes him a while to answer something, but when he comes back he always had some good news and new stuff implemented.

At least wait for his response and than decide.

He has had long enough now. It's been a month and he's not even replying to emails or PM's. The program does not work and we know for a fact that it can cause damage to your keyboards.

He needs to refund all the money he has taken in my opinion.

Seems like he is busy with other stuff.

Others have asked too but, haven't received a reply!

Baboosh if you need HELP with some programming, I don't mind being part of this. I currently have plenty of spare time.

Since you've managed to decode / encrypt the way KORG saves/writes to its files, its only a matter of time, until we have a decent stable Software to help us out.

So if you are busy with other stuff, do let us know so that some of us can at least carry on and take this further.

I too have only managed to Read & Rename & Save styles, but haven't figured out how to enter in to the Style properties, which is where the encryption comes in to place. Theres no point of everyone trying to create a separate software that does the same thing, when we could all get together and create ONE!

I'm all for collaborating with developing software like this, and because it is a huge effort, the developer(s) should be rewarded financially. But only after the software is working and completed, and with detailed user guides etc. It is the wrong way of going about it to charge people first based on a promise ... that in this case has not been delivered.

Rob

Same her Some1uk03. I know a bit about database programming and I wanted to put together at least a reader that would completely explore a SET. Put then I got hit by the encryption/compression obstacle! If I only can decipher this OC31 stuff, the rest would be very easy! I wonder how was he able to go that done? (oh man ,,, I wish he only respond just at least to give us this info!)

Rob (& some other members here) Didn’t you guys get Baboosh in touch with Korg about this and they gave him the OC31 decryption? If so, Can’t we at least get this part from Korg again?! I think that Korg helped him with even a lot more than just decrypting the files. I say that because first he was having lots of questions about the how thing tie togather, but then all the sudden he puts a flow chart that shows full understanding of the structure of a SET and how things talk to each other! And the guy doesn’t even own a PA keyboard!!!! (that’s just my thinking! LOL) anyways, Rob, Please hook us UP?

Thanks a lot.
