I suspect that that was an earlier version. Live now gives you fair warning (and an opportunity to cancel) if you want to use a feature that's available as a demo only, like the Operator synth.

(this problem is in addition to the fact that i've been too lazy to learn the software and that it's tied to my desktop while i'd be more willing to use it on my laptop. and, of course, it was free, so i can't feel too bad about it.) i have live lite that came with the emu 0404 card. so new free upgrade for me. anyway, i never really used the software, although this site has proven time and again that live is teh awesome.

The combination of all these features means it is probably worth upgrading. I think MIDI support was missing. The combination of all these features means it is probably worth upgrading.

If it's the same, it is well worth doing if anyone was once inclined to use their old lite version. I had a version which I think was called Live Delta, which was like a bad version of Live v2. Pretty much unusable. This new one is essentially v5.2 with track/plugin limitations. I'm not in love with Live enough yet to to get the full package, but it has been handy to have for doing plugin beta testing.
