@bliquid25

Will you still be developing these products or are W.A. taking over that as well?

Can you give any indication of what the future holds for Liquid Notes? I gotta say that I really love I2C8 and Spexx but Liquid Notes seems to have been forgotten. I don't even bother installing it anymore unfortunately. I'm curious if the porting of this old gem to W.A. will also include much updating.

All the best,
Nathan

Yes, we will continue developing all products. And, potentially also bring new products to market now that we've freed ourselves of the additional overhead of sales, marketing, etc., which is a significant burden.

First in line for the relaunch are Spexx and I2C8, due by end of this month and mid-November respectively (acc. to the latest planning). Liquid Notes will follow by end of the year or early next year, depending on the changes to UI/UX we'll make - this is under evaluation at the moment, so we'll only be able to tell in a few weeks.

Overall, the idea is to (significantly) improve all products by also utilizing the 'periphery' W.A. offer. There are a few things coming on their end that will work nicely with our products.

More on that soon .. we're cautiously optimistic that we can breathe life into Liquid Notes again.

I hope you can finally get Liquid Notes to work on Windows 8.1 so my purchase will not have been in vain.

So is this out now as Venom?

No emails from WA yet? I thought we got it for free if we filled out the form.

I don't own Spexx, but I2C8 (the chord tool) which is now MIDIQ. The mail from WA came a couple of days after they put MIDIQ out on PB. So this may be the case here, too.

It took a bit of time for me to get migrated from I2C8 to MIDIQ, so I assume it'll be the same for Spexx to Venom.

No worries, thanks for the info

So, Spexx has been renamed Venom? First time I hear about this, weird.

By the way guys, I just checked in my WA Production profile and I have a product key under 'My product keys'. I'll download Venom and see if the product key they inserted into my profile indeed works.

I checked my account when I posted earlier and it was empty, now I have 2 separate product keys for Venom showing in my account

So far from what I can see, the only changes by WA productions are purely cosmetic with a revamp of the UI that's it. Sound wise & feature wise, seems to be the same exact thing. So no need to run and rush to get it, it's the same plugin at the end.

Hopefully they’ll keep updating it with new features, a mix knob of each effect instead of just a single master one, new modules/effects, etc, in the near future.

Sorry for being late to answer all of you or make the announcement before @bob swans picked up the news.

VENOM replaces Spexx as of yesterday, with the product now owned by W.A. Production and also available through their partner Plugin Boutique. Info and details on the product are available here - https://www.waproduction.com/plugins/view/venom

The plug-in has been revamped with a much-improved design of the user interface which aims to provide more clarity and use of ease in the interaction with the tool. Other than some performance optimizations under the hood, and changes to the layout of the main controls, it is the same tool.

Maintenance and further development take place on VENOM only, Spexx is discontinued as of now and will cease activating by end of the year.

Customers who own Spexx are asked to transfer their license for free to W.A. Production before EOY. They are processing the first batch of customers now to assign license keys for VENOM in their W.A. Production account. Those should be with you shortly - give them a few days to catch a breath, two product launches, Black Friday, etc. is quite a load on them.

Thanks for the update on this. I have to admit, it looks stunning and very good. Indeed, clean interface with easy interaction.

Not a fan of the name neither, but at the end who really cares. It still sounds amazingly smooth and beautiful

Re-Compose Spexx (Now renamed Venom and owned by W.A. Production)
