    No, it was something else. The GUI was flat, but not in the usual windows grey. I think these plugins had like a brownish frame around the gui and a black background where the matrix with the dots/circles for the delays were. In thing the controls were on the left were knobs. It was something with dx or directx in the name. There were more plugins in the bundle with different colored frames around the gui i believe. damnit :D All I need is a text file with all the releases around this time 98/99/00 :D

    Found it: DSP·FX its on the sister site, btw ;)

    I think this is a pretty cool and useful concept for a UI - I think you could move the nodes with the mouse pointer, too but I am not certain.

    e-LAB. Remember Obsession and Foundation?

    Xfer's older stuff: Devine Machine, and Lucifer 2. Where they hell did THEY go? Lucifer 2 was incredible, though I'd say Sugar Bytes absolutely took the cake on glitch plugins.

    Has Eventide's Ursa Major Space Station plugin been mentioned? I'm sure a lot of people would like to have that, but they inexplicably discontinued it. I hope they bring it back as VST.

    Definitely and sadly true, one of the biggest case in Denmark

    https://www.bt.dk/krimi/sexmonstere...obbeltliv-paedofil-boss-og-kaerlig-familiefar

    On Friday, the verdict fell on the accused in what the prosecution at the East Jutland Police calls the largest case of child pornography and sexual abuse of children in Danish history.

    During the trial, the prosecution has drawn a picture of a cynical, pedophile man who until his arrest in June 2014 sat like the spider in a web of pedophile networks, where users shared photos and video recordings they had made themselves when they abused children.

    With the sentence, Torben Kjærhus Larsen, as the 48-year-old man is called, was convicted of having sexually abused four children, just as he as administrator of the two pedophile networks 'Hoarders Hell' and 'The Love Zone' participated in rape and other sexual abuse of children.

    But the people who were close to him in the years leading up to the arrest did not know what eerie things were going on behind the facade. On the surface, Torben Kjærhus Larsen was in many ways an ordinary family man to three boys. It tells Rune Ravn, who was a friend and business partner with the convict, and who did not know about the convict's double life.

    “I perceived him as a completely ordinary man. We saw a lot of each other because we ran a business together for a long time, but I never thought he would be able to do such a thing. It got a lot behind me when he was arrested. If it was not fodi, he acknowledged part of it, then I would have had a very hard time believing it, "says Rune Ravn.


    Torben Kjærhus Larsen grew up in the Aarhus area with his parents and three siblings. During his teenage years, he was placed in a social institution for young people due to behavioral problems at school.

    Father of three
    Even in his adult years, Torben Kjærhus Larsen has lived a tumultuous life, where he has had difficulty holding on to his jobs. In 1989, his eldest son was born, and later he and his then-wife had two more sons.


    ‘I have experienced him as a caring father who took care of his boys because their mother was having a hard time. He has always been very caring towards his children, "says Rune Ravn.

    When he was in his 30s, Larsen completed his education as an electrical engineer, and together with Rune Ravn, he had success around 2005 with a company that made computer programs for the music industry.


    In 2008, they chose to stop the collaboration after some disagreements about the company. Torben Kjærhus Larsen then moved to Randers, where he abused four children.

    At the same time, he had created a role as an administrator on ‘Hoarders Hell’ and ‘The Love Zone’.

    “It does not surprise me that he has had a leadership role on those networks. One should not be mistaken by Torben. He is very intelligent and can be very manipulative and therefore he is good at getting people to do what he wants them to. He is good at getting his way, "says Rune Ravn.

    A forensic psychiatric statement from Aalborg University Hospital, which was presented during the trial, states that he admits to being a pedophile and that he is without guilt, shame, empathy and empathy with the victims.

    When the verdict fell yesterday, the sentence was six years in prison. Rune Ravn hoped that it turned out differently.

    “What he has done is completely reprehensible. I do not think it helps to put Torben in jail, because it does not change the fact that he is a pedophile. He needs treatment, "says Rune Ravn.

    So he is getting released soon! Six years seems like they went pretty easy on him! I find it hard to understand the pedophiles, but with the help of Netflix, "Cuties" and other stupid propaganda moves, I am affraid that soon it will be legalized (God forbidden). :thumbsdown:

    This should be posted in the Mac forum not in software

    Mac OS refuse old plugins to work so stupid not to mention all the "fanboys" that updates the OS a.s.a.p in some believe that it will make their computer better.
    Wow so it didnt work good on the previouse OS whats the deal with that oh yeah i forgot the Apple conspiracy of i mustr be safe bla bla.
    Windows use Antivir for that.
    Apple updates the OS so fast that no developer can update their apps hell they even foget to update Apples OWN Daw Logic so funny to read Logic doesnt work on bla bla new OSX it has happen more than one time.
    Unfortanetly Windows seems to copy that path nowadays.
    I am still happy on Win 7 i use Reaper both 32 bit and 64 bit so i can use old 32 bit plugins that i like.
    But some old midi programs and very old plugins installers i used on Win 95-98 XP doesnt work on Win7 unfortanetly but in some cases it will work if i can unpack the dll file from the installer.

    I've spent some time to figuring out why AIR Creative FX Collection Plus still works on Catalina while for a year now 'everyone' - including the AIR sh*tbirds themselves, instead of fixing it - says it's not compatible. Well, here it is: the installer won't work indeed - "this package is not compatible with this version of macos" - but because the 64-bit components and all the other related files including iLok stuff were already installed on Mojave, it works.

    So to be safe for a next clean OS install, which is always a good idea from time to time to refresh your system, I saved all the installed files. Using Pacifist to see what exactly where belongs. Drag and drop should be the solution and workaround next time. Theoretically that is.

    I guess this could work for all their installers! The only thing I'm curious about now is, why did no one else mention this? Meaning: on their Facebook page or their getsatisfaction forum - which is offline now, probably due to the amount of compaints - or other places. Maybe it's too complicated after all?

    Because we already figured out in this thread that AIR and Sonivox belong to inMusic Brands I wanted to go a bit further with this subject. For example: Sonivox Film Score Companion. I didn't install this one on Mojave. Now the installers won't work anymore so I can't use it, right? Well, let's use Pacifist instead. But this time the extracting method. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
