i still expect the same sort of quality.you were both as important as each other really and brought different things to the table.in my opinion it wont change too much,perhaps a little slower as its only you but still quality

good luck luigi

big fan of / and constant user of LeSax ...
could really use the 'pro-user' sound set update ...
as previously stated , there are some 'beating' problems ( loop point ? )
in the current sound set ...

still love it though ...

I think it's sad William has left and I know he had a lot to do with EVE in particular but I don't know about the others - from what I can see certainly things like EMM Knagalis are more your own creations as they are based on ideas first debveloped in your Reaktor and SynC creations many years ago. But I do wonder a bit about EVE and QUIK - these have great potential.

I think it would be worth considering merging the DASH Signature and NuSofting product base now though.

The only path is forwards. I still plan to expand my dash library. I agree with the merging idea also, I believe you'll do much better consolidating your products under one roof.

many many thanks to all of you,

which name for the common roof?

one of the two, which one?

I would take the possible confusion out of it all and re-name everything under the NUSofting brand and dump the DASH Signature name altogether.

The DASH Signature name is associated with up’s and downs, and a certain lack of security to product longevity (if that is correct or not)

Best regards,

Spe3d

:O)

I would either do as Spe3d suggests and consolidate under Nusofting, or dump both names and call it something new.

I know you have a million great ideas Liqih! I expect great things...You'll be damn busy, but I can't wait to see more of what's floating around in your noggin'...

One thing I'd suggest if you drop the Dash name; do it slowly. Its got a certain amount of recognition, and I think abandoning it straight away would be slightly negative.

Rebranding stuff as "Dash by NuSofting" (for example) for a transition period would give customers/press/users a chance to get used to the changeover...

o.k. - for the sake of truth

:

I voted 'I think DashSignature has lost it's strenght'

I'll explain why:

It seems to me that your work in DashSignature has
been more the emulation-of-real-intruments-side.

I bought the bundle and:

I love Eve

I love DaHornet

I thinks DaAlpha is a good VA

I think Combosister is great

I have virtually no use for LeSax

I have virtually no use for Knagalis

I have virtually no use for theAbstractGuitar

and I have virtually no use for Peti

The only emulation of acoustic instruments I really like are Pianos and Organs because I have the ability to play them like the real thing - the rest sounds to me like toys and I cannot be bothered to put hours into trying to program automations for these toys for making them sound a bit more real.

Of course this is only my opinion and I know there are a lot of people who have a completely different viewpoint and I wish you nonetheless all the best.

Just wanted to express my opinion

In contrast to jens, I consider the analogue synth type products to be the most 'predictable' of Dash's output, and the other stuff (especially Knaglis and Abstract Guitar) to be the most interesting. I dont really need more and more analog synths, because once you've got three or four good ones, is there really a need for that many more of them? But I do want new and interesting stuff. And, whilst, to be honest, even if the niche products may not sell as well, they certainly establish a unique identity for Dash. Not that Im convinced that is such a great business idea offering nothing but more and more analogue synth emulations anyways.

I like one-trick ponies. I'd rather buy half a dozen cheapish one-trick ponies than yet another bloody analogue synth (YABAS). And Dash/Nusofting are good at giving a fair amount of depth and flexibility to those ponies...

I

EVE. Thats all I know. The other products are pretty average to me (Kgnalis and Abstract guitar are very interesting, just not my style). I would rather there be one company name for all the products. It should probably be NuSoftig. Just my $.02

EDIT: I also voted, "I expect great products anyways"
