i love sylenth1; we're not arguing it's MERITS, it's more about compatibility.
i'd like to run the beta on my mac and can't. it would be useful to have a 64bit AU on the mac.

sylenth1 is AMAZING, and i use it constantly. just want to see some updates; no one's arguing it's SOUND...

I'm not sure what DAW you all have but Sylenth works perfectly on my Mac wich runs OSX Lion. I run Logic 9.1.6.

Don't know what all the fuzz is all about! As for the post that Lennard stated that Sylenth is not dead I can surely say that if a project would die he would have the courtesy of telling us that he regrets to inform us that sylenth is not going to be developed anymore. But he has not.

So back to the issue. Sylenth IS working in OSX Lion!

are you running the beta? it's the beta that has the problem, and some soundsets now require that version.
am also on lion and logic; the last official S1 runs fine here as well.

i am glad lennar showed up here and promises future development. the site still wishes us happy new year...2009...

If you don't know what all the fuzz is about then maybe you shouldn't bother replying..

Lennard isn't exactly the most forthcoming person in terms of letting people know what he's up to. Many paying customers have sent emails to him without any reply whatsoever.

The fact that it took him this long to post here regarding all the rumours and everything else tells me he barely visits this 'official support forum' for his software.. Coupled with his website not being updated in years, and the fact that he simply ignores any emails about updates from paying customers - all leads me to believe that we will not be informed when sylenth1 will not be developed anymore.

but that's just me and my opinion.. someone who's had dealings with him, and been ignored while trying to get support.

I would like to add that I was very unimpressed to see that completely ignoring polite emails from paying customers is company policy. Contrast with Sonicharge (Fredrik) in reply to a customer enquiry on their slightly more active user forum.......
"Hi,
We are currently working on porting our libraries, that we build our products on, to 64-bit. Unfortunately it is very extensive work and I do not have any ETA for you. Once we get closer to having something in alpha or beta stage, I might make a guesstimate, but at this point all I can say is that we are putting a lot of work into it and that Bitspeek will most likely be the first release."

And then Magnus adds...
"Sorry to keep you waiting on the 64-bit version of MicroTonic and Synplant. The plan is to get back to 64-bit MicroTonic (and Synplant version 2) right after we have finished this new little effect we are working on. (We have some good reasons to finish the projects in this particular order.)
I'd be happy to let you beta test and we'll do our best to make it happen soon."
See the difference. It is possible to discuss future updates without the sky falling or pissing off customers who have legitimate questions.

With all due respect, I don't believe anyone here knows what is going on in Lennard's life. He could very well have a personal or family crises that he is dealing with. He could have other issues which occupy his time. He could be leading a double life as a secret agent. We don't know. He produced a wonderful tool that musicians all over the world are using to create music. Maybe you should think about giving the guy a break.

All true.. but if he's so busy or has other issues he could always hire someone?

Maybe someone who could mediate what needs to be forwarded to him (important issues), and leave what could be replied to up to the staff (questions of upgrades, or anything else he would normally choose to ignore).

i have no interest in stressing him (or anyone else for that matter). but...we are PAYING customers, and should be treated well.

i've emailed lennard with tech issues, and he was prompt and helpful immediately. he obviously does not want to discuss
future development, as it's true, he doesn't answer email about such things.

i hope we see some updates, but will do what i can with what i have...

That's certainly understandable, but I think the more customer-friendly thing he could do is have a canned explanation he can copy and paste each time someone asks about it ("Hello, and thank you for your email. It is company policy to not discuss future developments. Best regards, LennarDigital" or something like that).

No one, especially paying customers, likes to be ignored which is technically what he is doing.

Heck, an auto-reply saying he's received your email and it would be read/replied to under certain conditions and ignored on others would suffice.

Nothing like sending an email, and waiting for any kind of a reply.. only to never get one

agreed (both posts above)!

Sure I know Lennard is selecting his answers. He has NO obligations what so ever to let you know what he is up to. Sure a post that a 64-bit version is in the making. But still as for what I know he is one person and one person alone that has to answer to all our questions, make the code and handle all the logistics. Just because you buy a product you don't get the right to know all the secrets that is going on behind the scenes and when an update is to be released. As for me, coming from the scene in computing knows how big a project like this can be with hundredthousand lines of code. Coding all alone is a big undertaking and many other developers are in general more than one coder right?

You can say what you want about me I still don't care what your thoughts of me are. you have your right to express yourself and I have mine. Lennard choose not to ansver things about updates and what he is working on. If you have a legit problem I'm sure he will answer right away.

If I was him I would also get pissed. Sometimes this forum is like old women having a teaparty, spreading rumours and gossip.

Sylenth1 is a great product and great sounding. Only a fool would abandon a project like this. I bought Synapse Dune wich now also is my favourite VA synth! But Sylenth is still in the lead.

Yes I'm running 2.21. If I do an update it says I have the latest version.
