Does anyone know what happened to Electronics for Music (EFM)? I was interested in some of their plugs but their site is down. This is the latest working web address, but none of the links work:

http://ele4music.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

EFM = Tom Gamble, aka tomg. His last post here was last December, and then http://www.ele4music.com was still online. I dunno what happened, he didn't say goodbye or whatever afaik.

He's sick, and probably doesn't want to talk in circles about virtual analog stuff with strangers.

Thanks! I sifted through hundreds of posts on KVR trying to find alternate places their software may be mirrored, but found nothing. I was hoping for a situation similar to that for Fretted Synth, where Rekkerd hosts all of their plugs (http://rekkerd.org/fretted-synth/).

Regards,
Dom

Sorry to hear that. BTW, I'm not interested in talking endlessly either. Just wanted to know if the software was available and where.

Well, you can try Gersic:

The EFM synths seem to be stored over there as well.

Unfortunately, they're not stored there, just listed. All the links are to http://www.ele4music.com, which is down.

Thanks again for your help! I really appreciate it.

Thats weird. I clicked on one of the pictures, and was promted to store a zip file. This then got blocked, since I can't download executables here at work.

You're right - about half of them are directly downloadable.

Unfortunately more than half don't work since they point to EFM's site. Naturally, the ones I want fall into that category...

Thanks again; at least I can download some of them.

If you go check, you'll find that some of the links on the Gersic site work, and some don't ... DrumKit2, Alpha2, Micro-Modular, SCI Prophet 5 Emulator, Pro-1 and JXEmulator are all available. I just downloaded them.

[EDIT] I see you sussed it out

Unfortunately, it looks like the Gersic site has been abandoned altogether. It is still up, but a lot of weeds are growing around it.

Yeah I think Gersic isn't going anywhere, no new listings in a long time since the spammed forum got locked.

Yeah, the loss of Gersic and EFM make me sad. I was just looking for EFM's synths the other day... I hope he feels better.

I think about Tom every day. I hope he is having some good days.

Didn't he say something about his health issues in a thread last january?

I hope things do get better for him....

What Happened to EFM?
