Please do not transfer my patches that I posted free to use on Squarewave for the new Moogspace pay site unless they available for download without a subscription. Free for anyone.
I love Moogmusic and people I’ve worked with there. I’ve played Bob Moog benefits and I have no issues for you and Moogmusic to start a site that requires a subscription. Best of luck to you. I may subscribe at some point after I see where it’s going as well. I just do not wish to have sounds I created at a site that people must pay for. I’m more from the school of Fugazi dig?
I make the same request as DSS. The patches in the LWG folder were created by me as public domain offerings for open access and not intended for commercial use.
I will continue to support Moog products and wish much success to the new Moogspace forum. If Moog Music plans on building up newer files of patches on Moogspace, I would be glad to contribute as time permits, but as a rule I prefer to maintain my own public domain and commercial offerings as separate entities.
How about a one year free subscription of MoogSpace for contributers of at least 3 usable files ?
Of cause including the authors of all SquareWave patches that were transfered to the MoogSpace without asking first.
That isn’t the point. These people have created patches to be freely available for other people, and they object to those other people having to pay for them. So giving the patch creators a free subscription for creating the patches doesn’t solve the problem created by replacing a free site with a paying one.
That’s the thing some of us seem to have to keep repeating over and over again. We’re not objecting to having to pay ourselves, so much as objecting to the creating of a small exclusive club instead of a freely available area for any interested people This was my point regarding the forums. Make them a closed and paying site and interested people are far less likely to come in - and less likely to get interested in playing Moog instruments in the first place.
Of cause, all contributers of patches for the free and now gone SquareWave Group should have asked before. I wasn’s asked either.
And if some say it is OK for them to have their patches now available on a commercial site, they should somehow get a reward for giving their patches to MoogSpace.
But again: GregAE should have asked each and every contributer FIRST.
Getting a reward would not allow commercial useage without asking first.
I think it’s good they have the patches on the moog members site, but i don’t think that they should only be displayed there, because, as has been mentioned countless times before, the people who love moog instruments are a special breed, and we need to keep the community alive, without having to pay for that service.
Done - your patches have been removed from MoogSpace.
For the benefit of all SquareWave patch contributors:
All of the SquareWave Voyager patches were transferred to MoogSpace as a convenience to keep the patches available to anyone who wants them (the SquareWave site is no longer online). To view these files, look in ‘Files/Presets/Voyager Archives from SquareWave’. All patch contributors are identified by their SquareWave member names, and their patches and complete description files are intact.
Although you have to register to join MoogSpace (just like SquareWave), there is no charge to check it out, and members have 60 days to decide if they wish to join. During this time, members can download all the files they want, including the SquareWave files, for free. Since MoogSpace just started, this makes it free to all for the next two months.
That said, anyone who wishes to have their SquareWave patches removed from the MoogSpace site (whatever their reason) can do so now or at any time by contacting me.
