Why was it pulled from product line?

Yeah, I always thought the Abstract Guitar was kinda cool. I'm curious to know if it's related at all to MicroRock.

When I became the only owner of Dash Signature, its products + the NUSofting ones were really too many to handle,
so I discontinued the oldest and lowest selling plugins.

Some users complained about daAlfa2K and the Abtract Guitar, but then we had PS-1 and Microrock,

But never in these years I heard comments from users about the Abstract Guitar VS Microrock, strange, <sigh>

overall everyone here at KVR was raving about Slayer or Real Guitar or String Studio, so I gave up on guitar synths even though HarpTime and Modelonia can do some nice guitars

Well, for whatever reason, the star of Abstract Guitar is shining now!!!

For me at least, the feedback oscillator is the selling point. Abstract Guitar seems to have great potential in that respect. Microrock Pro seems to all but have dropped that aspect of innovation, with only one single preset dedicated to feedback, and seemingly, no real way to edit/control it, in any detail!

Aloysius, Modelonia also has feedback oscillator but yout don't like it at all, <grin>
so what's the difference,

seriously sometimes it's very hard for me to understand which sounds users like

I don't blame you. Half the time I think it may depend on the weather.

As regards Modelonia, I seem to remember commenting that 'I didn't like it at all' when someone mentioned that it was good for orchestral patches. Better than WIVI and all manner of things perhaps. I wasn't hearing 'good orchestral' at all from Modelonia. Far from it! I also mentioned sometime earlier than that, that Modelonia seemed to be at a bargain price. Again, same product, different discussion.

Ok guys, if you want to help me, (and therefore helping you to get better plugins)
you could post or send by e-mail very short examples from the synths and tell me what you like and what you don't, for each sound in the esamples.
Especially about Modelonia, the Abstract Guitar and Microrock, they share similar technology
so I may be able to improve one of those plugins mixing the code and enhacing the features.

Aloysius, that was clear,
