I'm done with this debate, as it's not really up for debate. It is as stated. If you've decided to deny the plain facts, be my guest. As instruments Tone2 plugs are great. Their business strategies... are less than great in my opinion.
What was said, in a thread many moons ago, was that *some* users, when the plug-in phoned home, had their plug-in disabled as it was reporting that it was a pirated version. Only some users.
Tone2's plugs work fine with no internet connection but my experience with them is when there is one they, as well as other plugs like Nexus, Xfers stuff, do automatically phone home unless blocked by a firewall.
Also, anyone confirm if Electrax actually has a randomizer?
