On top of that, the components that had to be replaced were no longer available, not even as NOS (new old stock) and the unit was distinctly different sounding. I sent it to a place that specializes in old MXR repairs and with shipping, it was more than a new reissue. I owned an MXR “Script” compressor and it stopped working. However, if they break, trying to get them repaired may be costly or not even an option. Hardware is much different from VSTs as they are “self-contained” and not dependant on a computer to run them so new OSs and computer technology advancements do not affect them as they do software programs. If you go back further, pre VST there is even more MIDI software no longer available nor the computers to run them readily available either. VSTs have been around since 1996 and so there are plenty of them that are not available anymore…just Google it. What do you think? Will this move affect your work? Let us know in the comments! More information The full list of products to be discontinued after is available on the Native Instruments website. Many sample libraries by other developers that rely on NI’s infrastructure are also on the list, including products by East West (EWQLSO Silver and Gold, Boesendorfer 290, SO Brass/Percussion/Strings/Woodwinds, Stormdrum, Symphonic Choirs and others), Best Service (Chris Hein Horns, Galaxy Steinway and more), Zero-G, Big Fish Audio, Garritan, and others. Included in the list are many older versions of NI mainstays like Battery and Battery 2, Absynth 2 and 3, B4, B4 II, Guitar Rig, Guitar Rig 2, FM7, Pro-52/53, Reaktor up to version 5, older versions of Traktor, and many more.
But given the popularity of NI’s plug-ins and their widespread use during the 2000s and 2010s, not being able to install them anymore could still mean trouble for anyone trying to revisit an older DAW project on a new machine. Most of the affected products are more than ten years old, some of them 15, and it’s obvious that the support can’t continue forever. We don’t know if NI’s move to pull the plug on these products is part of the company’s restructuring. All NI products will rely solely on the newer NI Access app in the future. The Service Center application will also become obsolete. Native Instruments says that while the products will continue to run, you won’t be able to install and activate them on a new machine after that date. The list contains many NI synths and virtual instruments, as well as third-party sample libraries. The company has posted a long list of legacy products which it intends to discontinue after May 31, 2020. If your hard disk is full of old projects that rely on NI plug-ins, it may be time to act.
