So it would be nice to know what country the programmers of Spire are from and where they live...

Good to see Spire get another update.
Looking forward to many more.

It seems vega555 is not bothering getting questions answered, so better take my money elsewhere if this is the support I'm going to get. Good luck for you, mysterious Belize author. It's now clear there is something fishy going on.

My guess is that the developer was hired by the NSA to spread the PRISM software all over the music community. Originally it was planned to name the plugin "Spyre" but that would have been too obvious...

Or maybe we just get a little paranoid here in Germany, who knows...

Joking aside it is indeed a bit strange that a developer keeps staying anonymous like this. I was not able to find real names or an address anywhere. Not in the plugin (demo), the website, the manual the review or on Facebook.
I have participated in many betatests for different companies but never noticed anything like this. Also no names of the Sound designers are mentioned.

Coming to think about PRISM, when I downloaded Spire, my antivirus went haywire and what came up with something behind the code that allows for tracking aka surveillance... maybe I'm paranoid too and I'm not even from germany.

I guess you recognized i made a joke (besides also adding a more serious comment now)...
I had no problem with my Antivirus while and after installing the demo.

I don't think that's a russian location.

Maybe developer can explain what's going on... hope it's not money laundry.

Ever thought about the possibility that it would be financially more interesting to have a business registered on paper in a country outside of Russia than within? Taxes, laws and stuff..

Could be a boomerang though if they have to close down business due to legal issues... tbh i find it a bit cheesy too that the dev's don't want to reveal their real names, and that the company's office is in some carribean state. Not that i want to claim it's a scam, but i think it would probably boost the business if they decided to play an open hand. I wouldn't like to give my money away in doubt.

And all your life savings of 69 Euros too... I understand.

This thread is turning strange and loosing IQ points quickly.

We could always talk about Spire instead of weird speculative crap about the developers.

But this is a forum, on the internet.... if things get too serious/reasonable/intelligent...how will we know where we are??

I've been using this for a while and the sound is just amazing. Best "digital" sounding synth for sure. All of the digital warm Sylenth is known for, but this sounds clearer, and isn't weak in the mid bass frequencies.
