I can tell you they are all currently being refreshed. So you will get an updated UI and bugfixes at least. No ETA.

We pulled them because, at the time we were not supporting them to the standard we require. Now we have hired a full time developer to work on them. That is happening.

If we were a cash-grab company we wouldn't have done any of this.

Thank you for that update. Like I said you guys are the best (and I love Hooverphonic, though I like Noémie's voice best...just a comment based on your location).

I literally own almost everything from you guys (except for a few sample/patch packs). Keep up the great work and again, congratulations on the newest release version!

That is excellent news! Edison the editor was by far the best little audio editor VST plugin ever. So convenient for quick sampling sessions in other DAWs.

Also, if you have a possibility of updating Patcher plugin version, it would be awesome!

I was gonna buy vocodex and sytrus vst so that I can use it outside of of FL producer and then you guys pulled the plug on purchasing vsts of those plugins and dashed my hopes of getting them. .. so we have to wait see what you guys do in the future or I must look at rather buying alternatives.. unless you guys open up to sell the vsts again with compatability updates. Feature wize your plugins are excellent!! I would even go as far as offering Flex as a vst plug to be sold outside of FL

Are they also being developed for Mac?
Please say Yes

I didn’t see your apology when it was pointed out its not C/R.
Some people really need some manners. I guess Santa wont be coming to your house tonight as you’re on the naughty list

If I upgrade my signature edition to the all plugins version now, it'll have pitch shifter included, right?

Yep, AFAIK.

Thanks for the update. I just tried it yesterday. ImageLine are doing some truly great stuff these days. Running it on Windows 10 x64 here, and no issues so far.

What is it then, if not C/R? You need to send a key (presumably based on your hardware given that the license is machine locked) to a remote server, which then issues you with a response that unlocks FL. I'm not sure what it is if not C/R, or is this just a question of semantics?

Response from IL, page 1.

’The online unlock system works simply by logging into your account through FL Studio just as it always has. No challenge-response.’

Can’t be clearer than that

That's great to hear! I don't user FL anymore but I love Harmor and Vocodex and would hate to see the VST versions abandoned. Also if you are ever able to give Sytrus VST useful mono/portamento behavior (which is lost in the VST due to the absence of the FL plugin wrapper) I would be thrilled.

Care you list some of these decisions?

The last thing we do is aim for a quick buck. We tend to think in 5 year time-frames for payoff. So interesting to see what you think these are?

Yeah sQeetz i'm eager too. We waiting.

Is that true also for the Sakura and Biohazard? Hoping all means really all of course

Now that's great news! I take my comment back because the main event which led me to perceive you that way was the discontinuation of the plugins
