    i dont really see why Spectra should rerelease it for STEAM, i assume the market is probably pretty small for such a product.

    This Stylus RMX, deserves a final cracked version to the last update.

    It's fun, but never used it really, then I sold it just two weeks ago. I feel sad for the buyer (I could not imagine it would become a legacy product two weeks later...). Hopefully they'll introduce something new... "Drumosphere" or smth, like they did for omnisphere at the time (Omnisphere is a sort of evolution of an older plugin called Atmosphere).

    imagine it being upgraded to STEAM finally and you can use it in Omnisphere finally?

    Maybe they create a new STEAM plugin, this would be awsome. its been over a year since Sound Expansions for Omnisphere.

    Any change you could make up your mind @ArticStorm ?

    Stylus has its own thing. It was very advanced when it was released and the regularly updated editing features were very useful.
    Like anything, even in real life while sometimes sad and true, objects and people get superseded in the name of advancement.

    EDIT: - It's a shame really, because there are some legendary artistes who Spectrasonics used to create some really great loops and patterns. You won't find some of them elsewhere unless there are sample dumps done , and for some of the libraries, that's a LOT of work.

    There are many things in life that would be great to happen, but probably won't happen because the time and expense don't make it worthwhile. It is not contradictory to say Stylus for STEAM would be great while still feeling it's not necessarily a good idea for Spectrasonics as a company. We shall see.

    not sure - maybe Spectra has a new idea how to improve on Stylus RMX.
    i agree Stylus doesnt work anymore with the current market rivals! the methods are now ancient by todays standards ...

    I agree mostly. The ability to edit and combine on the fly - dragging into your DAW is commonplace now, but there are definitely some things that you do not see in an all-in-one i.e. many have more advanced features but not everything Stylus has. I do believe it is because they are going to release a new product as you suggested earlier. :)

    i was wondering for a longer while why Stylus wasnt put into Legacy status, after all the long time.

    hit me with any new concepts speculations for Stylus, bcs i cant think about a single one right now.
    how would you improve Stylus?

    There aren't any new concepts I can think of immediately off the top of my head, other than one improvement where each sample could be assigned to MIDI notes and you can play them (standard in other apps), rather than the existing built-in MIDI drag 'n drop.

    As for concepts - maybe another thread for this might be a good idea?

    Let’s hope the new one has a recycle type feature built into it too. For actually making Rex files out of own breaks. That would be cool.

    Stylus RMX is one of those products that if you asked my opinion on it I'd tell you it's excellent but if you asked me how often I use it I'd say almost never! Go figure.

    this, recycle is still a very good way to slice breaks. i tried abletons method is works okay, but then you have to manual change the type for each slice if you dont want to repeat the slice over and over if you play the note.

    Yet still, there isn´t replacement for Time Designer® and Chaos Designer® by other companies.
    I really hope there is a new major update coming up....
