Speaking only for myself, I'm very excited about Max for Live and the
Akai product.
However, having purchased both the Albeton 7 Suite and Max/MSP/Jitter
in 2007,
I would like to know how much it's going to cost me, if anything, for
Max for Live?
I will be upgrading my Ableton Suite 7 to 8.
I have applied for the beta testing for Max for Live.
I'm going to try to trade in some other equipment or sell some
hardware on eBay in order to get the Akai Product for Live Performance
(meaning on stage; MainStage :)
So I hope it's not some big costly hassle to use have to purchase an
expensive Max for Live.
I would hope that Ableton and Cycling '74 can work together to provide
Max for Live as a Free option when upgrading to Live 8 Suite, as I
have no need for "Latin Percussion" (one of the items included in the
Live Suite 8 upgrade).
Frankly, I wish they'd just provide the option of including Max for
Live as part of the Live 7 to 8 Suite upgrade and replace the Latin
Percussion.
I've just purchased Max/MSP/Jitter so I have other motivations for
wanting to go the Max for Live route rather than Pluggo (though I plan
to learn Pluggo in time).
Someone from Cycling '74 please contact me regarding this if possible.
