Jeez, it costs €1. Cut the guy some slack.

I think most of us paid a dollar, which was too much tbh. (But who cares about a dollar right?) he still made a buck or two with a load of hype for something that just doesn't work properly in modern systems.

Was a clever move but yes its a completely dead synth. I've never used it in a project once tbh.
LeVzi,

I’m not surprised you think that, probably more people do. I agree with you on one point and that’s the fact that the plugin should’ve been released sooner. Obviously it didn’t and not because I was lazy, but simply because I did not get the time needed to work on it. It was either finishing the product or focusing on my music/DJ career.

Releasing a 32-bit plugin in a 64-bit era is far from ideal and I know that. So at first I didn’t even want to release it, but later I thought why not. Who knows, maybe someone will find it useful in their projects, especially those using a DAW with an internal bridger. Turns out it was the right call, there are many people who are thankful for this plugin and use it daily in their projects. I had to charge a minimum of €1.21, not to “make a buck or two” but simply to cover the infrastructure and whatnot.

My goal has never been and will never be to earn big money on making plugins. Rather, all I want to do is share my work with this community, release very affordable plugins that are on par with expensive plugins in terms of performance, quality, features and content.
I’m working on a handful of new plugins and I hope to make that more clear with my next release (its in closed beta). Obviously I’ve been working on the new Genesis as well, which had to be rebuild from scratch, so it takes a bit longer. The difference in terms of performance/quality is like night and day between the Genesis Pro and the new version. I’ve planned the release for this year.

OK well maybe you've learned from your mistakes. Genesis was a failure but could have been a lot more.

Unfortunately, its tough to recover when people would potentially invest in your work, when you took 10 years to get it wrong.

Good luck though

And it shows. If it was $40 and worked and was released on time and sounded good then yeah no problem. I wonder how many people gave him $1?

I use it with jBridge. Works very well. Found its way into quite a few of my ambient tracks.

If someone wants a cheap/great synth, these days you can get the older version of Icarus (1.6) or impOSCar 2 for about $5 each with certain CM magazines.
