I just checked, discoDSP facebook page doesn't exist anymore. So two developers out

RIP Linplug, such amazing instrument. Spectral was very innovative

Yeh. all plugs seem to be $49 and sound packs $9 so bargain bucket time!

I think 'belly up' is a bit unfair, I can totally understand small developers just walking away at some point, there are sooooo many good plugs and so many bargains out there (that's without factoring in piracy) I think many of us who haver the typical bundles '(Arturia, NI, AIr etc) and then the 'do not all' synths (Falcon, Reactor, Avenger etc) just have so many bases covered there are not a lot of gaps to fill...I tried the Linplug stuff but it didn't really do anything I didn't already have covered, and to be honest I am not even tempted at under $50....

I got a bunch of plugins including e.g. Arturia V-Collection 5, NI Komplete 10, Falcon, Avenger etc. (those that you mentioned above) but did not really find one yet that fully replaces Albino 3 and Spectral for me. As long as those keep working (both are available as 64-bit plugins for Windows) finding a replacementt is also not really urgent for me...

Oh, that's sad.

really sad

Well, now I feel bad. Sorry, GeorgeZ. I think I took my "disappointment" out on you.

Thanks for changing it, though. I, too, am happy with the way the plugins were "left to history." I've been using Octopus on the last 20 songs I've recorded - for all parts but bass (Spectral - it has my favorite bass for a "real sounding," deepness (traditional sounding). It's been fun getting to know how Octopus is really unique and manipulatable. Peter was always helpful and appreciative of our use and dare I say "love" of his art.

Very sad news, Linplug is so much part of the history of plugins. Wishing them well for their future endeavours.

Ye, I didn't even think about it... it was like a sort of "WHHHAT? Another one....?!?!

" sort of title. Been a bit rough in the last year for devs, it seems, or ppl just moving on maybe, all at the same time.

I would certainly recommend getting hold of as many Spectral libraries as you can before too late, I have found almost all of them are great quality

Best of luck to LinPlug.

I believe that the original release of Albino was one of the first VSTi's that I bought, along with ReFX's Beast. I'm very sorry to see them go. Over the years I've bought most of their products, although I never bought Morphox, but I might do it before they finally close their doors.

Bought Spectral and CRX4 while I still could.

Spectral for peanuts huh. Damn good deal for anyone who likes synths that don't suck.
