MINIMg 2.0 free upgrade for 1.6 owners

[airspeed]

update: got the new key...I clicked on the "i don't have a syncrosoft key"  link on the right side instead of the "submit" button on the left side.  That took me to the online shop to purchase a syncrosft dongle for $18.00 that said "sold out". I took the door on the right instead of the door on the left, HA! Thanks guys! It's all good now!!!

hey Fredric.

its running.  :-D

Starting it in Pro Tools 8 on Leopard

and going to use it in Ableton in a few days.  the new vocal fx sounds fun....

[Rob Roff]

woohoo! Can't wait to get home from work and play with it!

[airspeed]

The new V2 vocal patches are absolutely wicked. Great job Arturia!!! : )

So far, I have not figured out how to install it on more than one machine.  No problem with putting it on my desktop machine, but when I tried to install it on my laptop, it said that my activation code was already used.

This is true even though as far as I can tell, the license agreement said I could install it on three machines.

Also, I can't find the manual for version 2 -- if I look in the obvious place, I get the manual for version 1.

I've already asked these same questions to tech support; but perhaps someone else already knows the answers...

We hope you are going to enjoy it. Just let us know.

This is fantastic, Frederic. I have been playing around with the synth for the past hour. These new modulation and filtering features open up many great new avenues for exploration within this particular instrument. Thank you to the entire Arturia team for this extremely nice update. Everything is running fine here with Ableton Live 8.0.1 on Windows XP SP2

Kind Regards,

Jason

Okay, here's my problem.

Purchased the miniMg V in 2005.  Registered the product, license code, everything.  Have since purchased prophet v and jupitor v, which both use the syncrosoft key.  Both are listed on my profile along with the license but no miniMg!!!

Downloaded and installed v2 today, but it will not let me use it without a license for the syncrosoft key.  What do I do??

When in worry,
when in doubt,
run in circles,
scream, and shout!

Ive had a similar problem. Spent the last 2 hours trying to get version 2 working but my MiniMg license number supposedly doesn't exist when I try and register it in my account. All my other serials for the V Collection register fine but MiniMg V - keeps telling me it doesn't exist. And I was so looking forward to playing...now I have to wait for tech support...
Unless someone can see I am doing something stoopid?

[codemonkey]

 
Yes I was doing stoopid - if it helps anyone - try rebooting and for some reason then I could enter my serial in the website - must have been some sort of caching issue. Anyway - all installed - love the map browser!

Had to do some digging but I located the V2.0 MANUAL. The current link in manuals still has the V1.0 manual. Now I can figure out how the soundmap works. Here ya go!!!

What happens if you bought your Arturia synths before they started to use dongles? Do you now need to buy a dongle before you can upgrade?

[airspeed]

Sweep, hope this helps (click on link below). Make sure to hit the SUBMIT button on the LEFT (not the "I don't have a Syncrosoft key" link on the right) when you get to the activation screen to get a new code for the Syncrosoft E-licenser. I've got a V1.0 CD and everything is working great after entering the new code into the E-licenser (if you have XP it's located in START/ALL PROGRAMS/SYNCROSOFT).   : )

Well I got it working. But unfortunately the VST version doesn't show up in Ableton Live. Wasn't there a beta testing phase ? Were there not people using VSTs on macs?

[airspeed]

Rob, did you click on the "rescan plug-ins" button in the Ableton OPTIONS/FILE FOLDER?
