    Huge legendary monster:

    huge - Everyone knows
    Legendary - Long time in the game
    Monster - Overblown product, expensive, marketing more than the product itself

    I am very curious to know who these people are who have been waiting for so many years for PT ???
    Are you a license holder who no longer wants to pay and wants to switch to K-ed version, or are you someone who is waiting for an opportunity to test it?

    someone came up with the theory of Dragon at AZ which I believe is the closest so far.

    I think it will be UAD, because they've never appeared on stage. :dunno:

    Unison Bass Dragon fits most of the description... but then, its the furthest thing from ever being "legendary". Still, that would be funny on so many levels if they did it just to do it in a "gotcha! just kidding dumbasses!" sort of way :mad:

    Since it's never been released, the first things that come to mind are Cedar Audio, VSL Mir Pro/Synchron, and UAD (I doubt it). Cedar and UAD recently changed their approach to sales and licensing, which makes sense. I don't think it could be Mixwave, because they only recently started making plugins, and here they say "never." For the same reason, I don't think it could be Schwabe or Massenburg; that would be too small a number of plugins. All the other companies have already appeared at one point or another.
    But, considering that r2r has been mostly breaking Falcon and Spitfire virtual instruments in recent years, VSL is the only major player with ilok

    is there a monster named XFER or something because I haven't installed the v2. Still using the old R2R v1.

    UAD and CEDAR are the only huge monsters that have never appeared in warez history. Both hard iLok. Or R2R found a way to release UAD-2 DSP plugins with an emulator. That would be the release of the century. But I don't think so; I see it as unlikely. Honestly, it's hard to guess this time.
