Postfabulations are difficult to model in the 8-bit-digital domain, Terry, and it's been a pet pooject of MLI for some years now, but TBH postfabulations as well as postfangulations are nearly-impossible to pooject as they, by-definition, violate temporal laws.

Development of a hardware version, such as the Legislation Prefabulator™ and Debunkulating Reconfabulator™ are, poses even-greater challenges. I don't like to say "never" as CEO and Grand Poobah of an innovative company such as MLI, but in this instance I'm tempted...

No need to sweat it, Stoivo; just make your own laws with the MonkeyLabs Legislation Prefabulator™. Legislate on-the-fly, brother.

Will I still need to confabulate manually, or will your Legislation Prefabulator™ handle confabulations as well? That would be a fabulous feature to add if it doesn't already.

It'd be a great feature, sure, but it'd affect Debunkulating Reconfabulator™ sales. MLI would prefer you ran both of them.

So, once your legislation is prefabulated, confabulate, if necessary, using the ever-poopular MonkeyLabs Debunkulating Reconfabulator™. Done!

Thank you for your business, Tezza. I may now be able to afford the hemp-fibre strings I've hankered after for months for my BarfRinger (Behringer to the ill-informed) El Torro Strat.

Glad to see you around these parts again, Master Monkey. Silly question: Why can't you just bypass the VPN when you want to log in to these here parts? BTW, the Opera browser has a free VPN server if you need one. Not sure I'd trust it with my state secrets, though.

Can I still pay in bananas? I'm fresh out of cash.

Terry

Hmm... I'll have to check with the hemp-fibre string maker, Tez. Wish me luck; he's usually out-of-it.

I told him, "Use Sativa for fibre, you fool!", but would he listen to me? Maybe, but he didn't understand me, so Indica it is. Poor fool.

Maybe I could just tell him the bananas are a new currency celebrating Jungleville's days of yore?

That's what I've done on the few occasions I've been here these past few years, mate.

Typically I'd take the opportunity after a reboot before I reactivate Care-free Mode™, but as I don't reboot often these days, especially seeing as I'm still(!) not running any audio software, opportunities have been few-and-far-between.

Good to see you're still kicking goals here, man.

It's the first step in evolution. Next you'll become a bot, and after that, an AI monkey.

Well, this AI monkey's been deemed a spammer again. D'Oh!

Created a tiny window through which to quickly let y'all know. I knew I shouldn't have got my hopes up. At least I got a few days out of it this time; it was just like old times. Loved it.

Billy, fantastic to see you're still here, brother.

Can't you turn the VPN off when you come here? We won't tell.

Call me lazy, Stoivo, but I'm gonna quote myself:

Hey Nicky, great to hear from you, albeit through the Monkey Spam AI maze!

Indeed, Billy!

Hey man, MLI owes you at least two E-Steamed Grand Poobah of Pooparazzi™ awards AFAICR - this year's (congratulations!) and last year's.

I'll get rid of the trophies... I mean, pass them on to you, as soon as you're able to upload / link to suitable images of them. I've given up on images in some forums for the time being (here and Rig Talk for instance); it's too hit-and-miss for a luddite like me.

On Ebay I just purchased a copy of MOTU Performer 3.21 to replace my pirated copy that the store where I'd purchased my Mac Plus had installed. (Using a Multi-Finder trick to get around the authorization and copy-protection...) Finally, I'm legal!!!

In the box were, mysteriously, licenses for BOTH Monkey Lab's Legislation Prefabulator™ AND the Debunkulating Reconfabulator™! I didn't realize the tech was that old!

My question now is: Can I still download the software and use these licenses??? (If I can, I realize I've saved over $100,000! The MOTU floppies were only $7 after the bidding closed.)

Terry

[Note - I only found out the other day that what they'd done with Multi-Finder wasn't "right".]

Congrats, brother.

It's not. The licenses were prefabulated post-debunkulation; the hardware units hit the streets 10 years later.

Both the MonkeyLabs Legislation Prefabulator™ and the MonkeyLabs Debunkulating Reconfabulator™ are hardware units, Tez, as evidenced by their categorisation in the MLI quarterly product updates and the following statement a few posts back by the CEO:

Now, digital licences are activated on the hardware via SCSI and proprietary software, so you'll need to contact MLI for a rigorous assessment of your eligibility for downloading the app. Also, you'll need to find a way to accommodate the SCSI interfacing. Some have bought EMU EIV samplers because MOTU implemented a sample-sharing option that supported the EMUs in later versions of DP, hoping that the company might one day decide to port the feature back to a non-audio Performer version. If and when the option finds its way back to your version of Performer, and provided you're running the proprietary licensing app in-parallel, communification will occur with the hardware units thusly:

MLI Proprietary-Licensing App™ <-> Performer v3 or earlier <-> MIDI interface <-> EMU EIV sampler <-> SCSI cable <-> MLI hardware.

Easy, peasy.

The BarfRinger El Torro Strat still hungers for those hemp strings. Gotta find a way to extract some of that moolah from your hip pocket, my cashed-up brother.

Fact:
MOTU did support sample importation from EMU EIV samplers into DP back in the day.

Rockwell is a bunch of charlatans and it stains the good name of innovative bodies such as MLI.

Still, I'll give credit where it's due; it thought of the Encabulator concept before my team or I did.

I just bought a CV Max with aluminum brackets. I could have had this instead. Nutz.
