Hi Lemur users,

I am happy to let you know I have finished arts|UNMUTED reCHORDER - a powerful chord machine optimized for DAW workflow. It features the following:

- 8460 chords triggered by a smart 3-octave keypad (controlled by inversion and chord type selectors)
- 234 scales that modify the content of the keypad (note names and available keys)
- velocity, CC1 and CC7 parameters for the whole chord or separate notes in the chord
- the possibility to send each note to different MIDI channels
- powerful memory system - 16 memory banks that store and recall all or selected MIDI parameters and trigger complete chords - and display complete information on the stored chord (chord name, chord type and inversion)
- oversized 16 pads for playing stored chords
- and much more.

It costs $26 and can be purchased at www.artsunmuted.com.

reCHORDER is also a great Lemur design with custom selectors, great ergonomics and awesome interactivity. Watch the promo video at http://youtu.be/Ah-W41Zsf0k and see it in action at http://www.artsunmuted.com.

I hope you will find it interesting.
Ok just saw the "Store" link - I reckon you should also add "store" links to each of your template presentations on your website.

Sincerely, Im not very fond of this approach - selling templates for Lemur, dunno, seems a bit weird to me....If you want my honest opinion I would most likely give roughly the same amount of money for "reCHORDER" if there was a "donation" button with the freedom to give nothing up to anything.

Im sure you have put a lot of work into these templates and probably they are worth their pricetag but still....many other people do (put a lot of work in their tempates) and do not ask for money...

Also, how are you secured that, say, I wont be buying your template, change a couple of things and then just freely share it in the forums or in the user library? Oh wait, dont answer that! I dont want to know! ;)
I agree , I put a lot of work into the lpad and its free , could have made a bob or 2
In fact I got similar harmoniser template in the works , started it when the last user charged for a chord generator template
Think ill complete it and share it.
You are entitled to your opinion - I just can't see how Lemur differs from other great pieces of software like Rapidweaver, FinalCut etc. where you have also lots of user-made content (both free and premium). I simply don't like the idea of donation - I am not a beggar to ask for your money. If you don't like my products, just don't buy them. But the whole idea to discredit them because they are not free - no comments. And stop patronizing me - creating one good template doesn't make anyone King Julien XIII, if you know what I mean:-).
The real cost to the community of these for-sale templates is the chilling-effect it has on people freely posting anything beyond the basics.

I know I resent the idea that I can innovate something, post it here on the forums and others like this chap, Traxus or the other guy who counts Scooter among his clientele (you know, the guy with the patent on music-theory) can come along and use that work freely in their commercial templates.

It has already stopped me from posting some of the interesting things I've discovered (and still haven't seen in any publically released template so far).

Probably the only counter to this is for some of us to get together and clean-room reverse-engineer or otherwise build and release alternatives of similar or better quality, gratis.
I don't think this thread should be moved just so people can pipe in with their opinions. Here's mine... I have absolutely no problem with anyone charging for anything but it should be done in the right place. I think your templates should be sold on your own website and you should pay for your own marketing if you're going to turn a profit. Not post them here (for free). When I bought the Lemur App I bought into this community. The app alone to me wasn't worth the asking price but all of the amazing work that users have done here and offered to the community more than justifies the expense. Wul's template the LPad is phenomenal as is Rheyne's Jammer (I guess he got some kind of deal from Liine because they offer it in the premium content, maybe something you could look into). I don't think this forum should turn into a store with free advertising for everyone's charged templates.
There is ...

Freeware
Donationware
Shareware/Cripleware
Payware

All of them have proven to be valuable. None of them is better than the other. No right, no wrong. They do co-exist for several platforms that support templates/sounds/plugins/etc. Bottom line one has always to make her/his purchase decision based on the value she/he will get of it.

And I do believe a separate "Commercial Templates" section in this forum could be beneficial to Liine. Since this could motivate MORE professional "template artists" to provide MORE professional templates. Which would help a lot to maximize value of the original lemur purchase. Don't get me wrong here, but there are tons of free templates I consider, öhm, nice ... but not great though. Pretty much similar to the ones I could provide. :D
