Yep, that's revenue, not profits. They make a lot of hardware, which usually has pretty low profit margins. And they have around 450 employees to feed.
More BPM please

Yup. I don’t know why people think that plugin developers are making bank. Must not be thinking about the variables. I think it’s clear when so many abandon their software because they figure they’re busting their asses to go broke and have families to feed and eventually just say, “f**k this. I can make a lot more in a different area.”

As per an older thread about this, it took U-he something like 6 years to make 3000 sales of Zebra2. And that was when it was 'the' synth.
And to another point, yes, more people use plugins these days, but its still a relatively small niche, and there's far more competition. Its also the case that people expect plugins to be cheaper than used to be acceptable.

Yeah but Australia doesn't have much going for it and this is obviously reflected in the price he paid.

I think Spitfire Audio are swimming in money selling mega bucks libraries to composers. I think Avid are racking in the cash too, with all the Hollywood post houses subscribed to their software suites.
I read somewhere that Dirk from PA drives a Ferrari?
At one point Roli were absolutely swimming in investor money. Now they started selling off assets starting with Juice.

Yes I believe Pace is doing really well in the plugin business with their iLok security software.pandashake wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 12:13 pm As a former player in the game, if you are looking to make a living coding plugins, don't. Write security code instead.

The Term "succesful" seems quiet problematic to me. We can´t really know which Synth is "succesful" concerning Sales Figures - which should always be the primary Indicator - if we don´t know the Sales Figures - and maybe also the Turnover.
AIR Hybrid for Example is maybe more succesful than any U-he wil ever be - just because it´s cheap and has a worldwide Audience.
Maybe Ummet Ozcan can tell us more about his Sales Figures. He recently released the famous 1$ Synth.
You should definitely consider Price Categorys in your Estimations. 150$+ Synths are probably not sold that often - also because each one of them can entertain you for a Lifetime
