Official info on UB update status

Hello everybody,

On behalf of the Guitar Rig/Guitar Combos team, apologies for the repeatedly delayed Guitar Combo Universal Binary version. The developers are still working to fix some issues in combination with Garageband 3 and OS X 10.4.9 which are more persistent than expected. Release will likely be delayed for one or two more weeks.

In good news, NI will drop the usual UB update fee in this case and will make the new version available for free for all Guitar Combos owners. Also, metronome and tapedeck features have been added.

I will update this thread with further information as I have it.

Regards, Thomas

 

Behringer version owners included?

 

The update is only for the full Guitar Combos version. However, there will be a very affordable upgrade offer for owners of the Behringer versions soon.

 

How long does Beta testing normally take?

Not trying to drag the UB update thing up again - but how long should we expect Beta to last- it's been a month...

 

Don't you want to wait till all the bugs are fixed?

 

Sure do...

... I'm just asking how long that can be expected to take ... a curiousity thing more than simple impatience...

 

The reason for the delay has not been made public, so I don't know. I hope it's coming soon, you've all been more than patient.

 

Guitar Combos as plug in?

Hello Martin,

I recently bought the Kontrol 1. It came along with the guitar combos and I absolutely adore them. Kontrol 1 is also a joy to work with.
I am able to use the Combos as stand alone but I don't seem to be able to use them as plug-ins though. No matter what I do and reinstall the soft, Logic does not recognize them. Has this anything to do with this UB issue you are talking about or am I doing something wrong?
I use an Apple iMac intel duo core 2.33MHz and Logic Express 7.2.3
The funny thing is that Logic does recognize the Keyboard Collection as a software instrument but then again not Tractor...

Could you please help me out?
Friendly regards

Yes it has to do with the UB compatibility. The plugin functionality for intel Macs will be there when the UB update is here.

 

If you really want to use it in Logic, make Logic run in Rosetta. You'll get reduced CPU performance, but it will load the plug-ins.

It's clearly a stopgap solution.

 

The Native Intel-Mac support page states that "Native Instruments does not recommend, or offer technical support for, using its products within the "Rosetta" environment on Intel-based Macintosh computers."

All I want for Christmas is the UB update for Guitar Combos - not much to ask for is it?

 

You'll clearly get it before christmas.

Uhmmm... maybe christmas 2008

 

We are getting closer to release, please see the updated status thread: http://www.nativeinstruments.de/forum_de/showthread.php?t=50969

 

Marc: how do I make Logic run under Rosetta?

 

Right click on the logic icon, click "get info" and check off "run under rosetta".
