Indeed...
I also still hope for more preset banks.

Yes, the FX are good also, and so I would use it more liberally as an FX plugin throughout projects if I knew development would continue.
Playing with it again, the chorus sounds great, the distortion has a dual-band option, Multiband saturation... all very nice.

Thanks, I completely forgot that Rapid has an FX version. I really need to look into using it.

Yes, more factory presets - it really lacks them atm.

There will be no silence after either. 1.9.5 should follow much more quickly than usual. The included features are uncertain at the moment. Just a rough set, so the time it takes is also uncertain. Goal being summer/fall. Some keywords: Quantizer + Arp improvements. So anything note/pitch related is the general theme and motivation.

Can you fix the MAC repeating windows when authorising please. Fixed in Windows but not in Mac

Totally misleading false information.

Indeed. Afaik the main developer is Rene Sanders who I don't think does any work for Refx.

The one thing they do have in common is Mirko Ruta, who does sound design and does some software development "DSP Elements" (at least effect plugins) for both. (he also does the same for vengeance sounds)

So less than two and a half months ago. Will be "postponed for a while. Not for a long time though" is an undefined amount of time so we just have to be patient.

different guy afaik.

as we/i said, this is just always the same move from Parawave so far each year, and it seems to be the same again, BF2025 maybe minor updates or the teaserupgrade he announced.

the marketing and interaction with the customers/users of Rapid is just awful. i wouldnt pay this dev any more.

It's a free update, anyway, so you don't have to pay for it. I don't know why you'd get mad over an already-functioning product receiving free update that the developer said was going to be later than anticipated. The existing version of Rapid works fine for me.

Parawave Rapid?
