Nice idea!

Alien Seed is still developing PSDN 2.0 and KRON. Mr Seed just recently gave a short statement with screenshots in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7492557

Studio Corbach just released version 2.0 of their Mixfood Ambi Nature.

And I agree with Electric-Metal:
ThatMusicCompany just released ver. 1.4.5. of T2 Phaser in January.

That music company needs to fix Mr Overdrive with the random crashes. I can't get it to do it on request but it happens. I quit using it. I thought that maybe since they updated Distortion they may update Mr Overdrive. I love the tool but the crashing kills me.
150 paid RExtensions and still no Grammy

You missed Flower Audio and Sugarbytes.

I would also like to know if Universal Audio, Waves, IK Multimedia, Fab Filter, ReFX, Roland, Lennar Digital or Cabelguys are interested in the Re format.

Alphabetizing would help ;)

Also is DNA Labs now Cube6? Or do they just happen to have very similar looking images?

I'm being realistic. Fabfilter, REFX, Waves, UAD, NI and the others you listed have no desire. I asked them multiple times gotten nos and now answers. They aren't interested and you know what that's okay because we don't need them when we have Xfer Records considering development.

Sorry but... what? Can you elaborate more on this, please? The last public statement from Steve at NAMM was that he had no plans to release Serum as a Rack Extension. Was this a private email exchange between you two? A tweet via Twitter? Facebook?

I don't mean to be skeptic (sorry not sorry :lol: :mrgreen: ) but this is huge news if true.

I think this thread would benefit greatly from two things:

alphabetization and references/sources. If we can get that going, we can maybe make it an official thread and pin it ;)

Well I think they must be associated in some way or they are transitioning or somebody is on their A-game with copying everything from fonts (Look at the E in 'access' and 'plex') and the just about everything else haha. Maybe we could inquire?

Yeah Serum would be a pretty big deal but from the sounds of it it won't be any time soon. Still, would be good eventually.
