this seems to be a eternal entry on their HP.
i tried to contact bitheadz many times by email but there is no reaction at all!

anybody of you have informations about this company?
(i have the Ds-1 and the Retro-As but i cant use them since a long time because of the (non)supported OS)

I am of the opinion tha tBitheads is incapable of programming for windows with their current staff, or they just want to sell software to less than 5% of the computer using population.

Its a shame really, Retro AS-1 was an amazing softsynth, and it was the first virtual instrument that would integrate with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0.(even if I was only able to get 4-5 voice polyphony and use a latency of 65 ms on my old 400 Mhz AMD K6-2 and SB live) Its a wonder I got any music made back then...

greetings ecaep,

I was wondering about the same thing as you are about Bitheadz and XP. I have Retro AS-1 VST, that I use in Sonar 2.2 through the adapter. It's a great synth. I had recently bought a new computer and it had XP, my previous was Me when I bought Retro. I got tired of waiting on them, they have been promising support for XP for a long time now. Anywise, I went ahead and tried it in XP and everything worked beautifully. I understand they don't officially support the OS, but that doesn't neccessarily mean it won't work. In my experience, it works excellent. I hate it when companies announce stuff without being able to follow through.
There are too many other good synths around that we don't have to wait on Bitheadz. Cheers

don't wait,
they're probably out of money anyway.
