I got a license for it about 2 years ago and the developer seemed very busy working on it.
And then no update (or news) for the past 1 and 1/2 year.
Has it been abandonned?

Same here and i ask this myself. anyway the website is still up and running it looks:

http://www.blokmodular.com/

Besides that it's still an awesome plugin (and one of the few fully modular synths i got) but there is rarely any feedback about it at KVR.

At the Twitter page BLOK SVN-X2 is mentioned:
http://twitter.com/BlokModular

I just logged into my account and downloaded the Beta SVN X2 mentioned at Twitter. Will have a look at that soon. The lastest stable release is SVN 336 from 2011.

Aahh yes, thanks for reminding me of that hidden gem in my vst arsenal. I remember it was great fun to play with. Will install this and have a go at this again

Too bad that the development seems to be very slow though

Same with that other modular, Straight Arrow Quiver

And what about yet another modular, the Sonigen?

[Blok] is a modular synth, so I guess it would be best to post a thread about in the sub forum for modular synths.

There is already a thread about [Blok] in that forum by the way.

You know how to use the search function in the forum right? No need to start a new thread when there is already a discussion about this subject.

In the modular forum most posts are about modular environments like SynthEdit or Synth Maker and also Reaktor. BLOK Modular is a synth so it fits to the instrument forum nicely.

Anyway i just looked there and found the thread already mentioned one post earlier.

The Modular sub-forum is about "Modular Synth design and releases (Reaktor, SynthEdit, Tassman, Synthmaker, VOID, etc.)"

[Blok] is a "Modular Synth Release". If Tassman is supposed to be in that forum, then so should [Blok]

This one seems to be the last thread directly related to BLOK (besides those just mentioned) and it was in the instruments forum:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0

Zephod (the dev) posted in that one too and those seemed to be his last posts at KVR.

Sonigen works great! I got struck by modular mania after watching a namm video *mouth waters* so i went to download nord modular g2 demo and then after some kvr'ing the database i found sonigen. Took just a little while to figure out how to create connections, but once i did everything was easy. Glad that you're not bogged down by a set amount of connections .. .and that you can reshape the cables so they don't get in the way!

But as with anything with oscillators and filters... i've been fed with a certain high standard and i look with suspicion on stuff not having named their method with convincing lingo.. no mention of circuit modeling ...

50% serious, 50% ironic

Back from the dead!

I have been selling my soul to the corporate world for a few years... Saving up enough money to continue development on things actually worth building. (Sales from plugins are barely enough to pay for the powerbill to compile new versions during a year

)

I am glad to say I'm now "financially independent" for the next few years, which means playtime!

Meanwhile I have been getting the sourcecode up and running in all the latest versions of visual studio and experimenting with a 64 bit version.

My hosting company was taken over by new management and my sponsored account got lost in the transition - I will move the domain over to some other server and get it all back up again.

*glad to be back alive*

Also - I am quite active on Twitter (@blok2009 ) - if there are direct issues/requests, I'll be glad to answer them there. KVR forum is not really one of my regular hangouts.

But now the website seems to be gone?: http://www.zephod.nl/

Is Twitter the new homebase to check for news about [Blok] ?

Correct one should be this:
http://www.blokmodular.com/

Does not seem to work too. I get the message "Our website is temporarily closed for maintenance."

Is Blok Modular dead?
