<my_opinion people_who_care="[]">
These extensions cost three times as much as they are worth.

I never really understood why companies would sell their stuff so overpriced (my opinion of course). I think if they'd sell it for 79$ or even 99$ they'd sell so much more, compared to the amount they sell now for those 149$. Plugin Alliance and Waves really got that and are drowning in cash.

I cant speak of their worth as I haven't tried them as I also think they are too expensive for 'more Omnisphere patches',

I think 40 each all 3 for 99 seem more realistic....they may have even made more money with that sort of pricing as more of us buy in at that level.

$150 to add more pre-sets (more samples) to an instrument- you could buy Spire, Pigments or Rapid, for that. For the cost of 2 packs you can buy Falcon, Avenger or even V Collection!

I think they're selling to the people they want and need to just fine

So... 2023 is definitely gonna be the year for Stylus RMX2.

I know I said this in 2022... and 2021... and 2020... but *this time*, *2023*. Yup. Calling it. For real.

(See you all again this time next year...)

Won't RMX turn 20 next year? I'm hopeful they don't keep us waiting that long!

It's a nailbiting race between the Stylus RMX replacement and climate extinction.

I think you are under estimating the amount of work that went in to these extensions:

Pfff, welcome late comer! I was saying 2015 would be the year of Stylus RMX 2. Given or take 5 years.

That has nothing to do with the build cost, that is the same if you sell one or a million...lower price 'may' get you mass market, if you sell 1000 @ $100 = $10 000 or 5 000 at $40 = $20 000 = cost lowered, profit doubled (this model works with software where is is almost no cost per unit after development, hence all the no brainer sales from IK et al...

Case in point, I own Omni, Keyscape and Trillian and have a pretty healthy studio budget...but I dint buy them...there is a price pint where I would be tempted, until then they are just leaving money on the table.

I lost any respect for Spectrasonics when they threw Omni 1 users under the bus when Omni 2 came out and was told have to pay full price for the upgrade. so, basically they are asking me to pay $600.00 total for this software.

There's still an upgrade, according to their FAQ.

If I already own Omnisphere, is there an Upgrade to Omnisphere 2?
Yes! If you already are an Omnisphere customer, you are eligible for the Omnisphere 2 Upgrade - available now in the Webstore/Techshop.

Following the link they give, upgrade price is half the full price

https://www.spectrasonics.net/sales/tec ... ucts_id=28

and its available at retailers as well.

Spectrasonics build up to Sonic Extensions....
