Ircam Max Objects' Protection is gone...

Arshia's icon

Dear colleagues,

In an effort to enhance art and music making and their dissemination, Ircam Forum has decided to remove its software protection from All Max Objects. All Max objects downloaded since November 2014 will no longer require software activation.

Cycling'74 members can use the "CYCLING74" voucher during checkout for 10% discount on Premium Membership purchase providing access to all technologies until the end of 2014.

Premium access gives a one year access to technologies and their updates for all Ircam products including standalone applications such as AudioSculpt, Modalys, OpenMusic Libraries, Orchis and the following current Max Objects out of Ircam R&D:

  • Antescofo : Ircam's real-time score following and reactive language for automatic accompaniment

  • Gesture&Sound: Including state-of-the-art gesture and voice tracking and real-time motion processing tools.

  • Modalys: Mlys objects for real-time synthesis using Modalys Physical Model engine

  • Spat: Ircam's high-quality spatialisation and room acoustics tools

  • SuperVP: Super quality real-time phase vocoder for real-time transformation and time-stretching

  • Max Sound Box: including Yin~, Chromax, Chant objects etc

  • and more...

Dear Arshia,
this sounds fantastic! But sadly I get "This voucher has expired (usage limit attained)" if i enter CYCLING74 as a special reduction code. Will this voucher be enabled "until the end of 2014" again? You are writing "Cycling’74 members can use the "CYCLING74" voucher" - do I have to prove the Cycling'74 membership during checkout, and if so where&how?
All the best,
Johannes

Anyone able to access this? I get
"This voucher has expired (usage limit attained)." when entering CYCLING74 in the 'reduction code' field...

Ouch.. my bad!!! try now.. the person who do this is on vacation so I attempted to do it myself.. seems like I'm better with C++ than web! :) Sorry.. fixed

@johannes: No proof of Cycling membership necessary! The whole deal of removing protection is to get rid of such proofs and wasting of time!!

Man I haven't looked at Audiosculpt in years but the interface looks much improved. Problem is I can't get the Forumnet site to ever load the login or cart pages so I can even try to renew my subscription. :-/

Wow... That's a great move, and will utterly simplify playing any piece using ircam's technolgy in real time, outside of its creator's studio ;)

Arshia - does this mean that the SuperVP objects can purchased once here and then be used indefinitely without any other paid subscription?

i understand what Europe and Us like , that each sector must be privatizate , but the money where can the ppl find each time all day ?
Culture in function of moneys is not culture or art but something else

I saw this post in December and, when I tried, the voucher code was not working (as reported above) and then... I forgot to try again later. I tried today and noticed that the voucher had expired...
Will it happen again or was it a one time promotion?
Thanks.

Yes, I'm also interested in some clarification if possible...

Same here. Site wouldn't work when I tried to go in and renew my membership in December and after that I got busy with the holidays and forgot about it. :-/
