After all this time, I'm still not clear on all of the "Cease development" I'm in business but I'm not in business stuff. It appears to me that Tone2 will remain in business, but does not seek to expand beyond the existing portfolio of apps. Development will continue to maintain and keep these apps working for future OS changes, but no further new features will be added. Am I reading all of this right?
In other words, we are not purchasing a dead, no longer supported plugin, but we need to be aware of the expectations of the company moving forward. Correct?

A Filterbank plugin with the new and improved FX from Icarus3 would be awesome! I hope UVI will make an FX version of Falcon too.Caine123 wrote: Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:12 pm i still hope Tone2 will give Filterbank3 etc. a resizable gui and up to date dllsso they will last a long long time! filterscape3 is still so lovely.

Personally I see a potential confusion when 'no new products' seems to include 'no new major version upgrades of existing products' something which could also be implied as being included in 'updates and enhancements'. That ambiguity would be helped by a more explicit statement, IMO.ramseysounds wrote: Tue Apr 02, 2024 12:13 pmPage 1 line 1 - I will not longer develop new products.

I see it as ‘we are not making anything brand new, but will maintain existing products and add to them (enhancements) if required and as we see fit.’ The crux is they are not making any new products.

Yes, I get that. Disambiguating properly, though, as Ive suggested, would mean that everyone got it.ramseysounds wrote: Tue Apr 02, 2024 1:07 pm I see it as ‘we are not making anything brand new, but will maintain existing products and add to them (enhancements) if required and as we see fit.’ The crux is they are not making any new products.
