Since Logic has had major changes in the sequencer engine this had to be re-done. It would have been simpler to go ahead and leave the level of rocket features the same as it was in 4.8. but a lot more is possible now [if you have used rocketpower with ProTools, you'll know what I mean.] Emagic is a small company with limited human resources, and they have been concentrating on getting the core app right. They can now make sure rocket implementation is as good as it can be, so, hopefully we'll see something from that soon. > In general, I was one of the folks initially euphorically excited about > rocket network's promise, imagining a world in which people using any app > could link up to be productive, etc. But unfortunately, it's turned into a > proprietary system, with no app compatible with any other app, Rocketpower was designed to be cross-compatible, but it was up to the individual sequencer apps to support this. Lets just say, Emagic has *not* been the one to pull a 'microsoft' in this case.

You can still get support by email from support@... . The online support was initially funded by rocketnetwork, but was up to Studio Center owners to decide whether they wanted it to continue , or not. [bear in mind it was fairly costly to maintain] It pays to get to know a few of the regulars on the rocket servers, as they have a lot of knowlege, and quite a few of them run more than one sequencer app. They just use whichever app they need for their current collaborations. [i.e. a few of the cubase users you see are actually primarily logic-users] If anyone has any general questions they would like further clarification on, that don't specifically fall under the tech-support/trouble-shooting umbrella, they can try posting a query on this list or the OT list [depending whether it is Logic-related], or on the 'Logic Transients' sub-forum of the Logic Forums at http://community.sonikmatter.com/cgi-bin/emagic/ultimatebb.cgi There are a few users at both places who have a fairly deep knowlege of rocket stuff.
