    Im sure many of you have use some WOK free & pay plugins, not sure who hear of this i dont see any post when i search here.

    Now the info:

    So what has happened to WOK and his VST-plugins?

    For a long time I provided many kinds of (free) VST plugins to the community.
    This has been mainly a hobby all the time, nothing to make a living from. Developing the audio and graphics part of the plugins ate up all my spare time. Things also became more difficult with 64-Bit Windows raising up and Synthedit-64 never leaving the alpha-state.
    Because of my personal situation having changed severely, I may not be able to continue on this; my stepson, who is living abroad, became seriously ill, so my wife and I had to spend all our remaining income for his treatment, while my own worsen health situation does not make it possible for me to spend so much time for an additional, non profit, work.

    Whereas my own medical condition is serious but not critical, we now have the situation to have spent all our saved money for medical treatment of my wife's son. As this has become a financial problem above all now, there would be one solution for me to be able to continue plugin development: I started a fundraising campaign to collect money for further support of my stepson (please read more details about the story there).

    If this would indicate to succeed, I would be able to spend time and energy again for this (much more fun) work. I would then reissue all my existing plugins as freeware and publish new ones as donationware.

    Please learn more about the story here. Please also spread that link. Thanks for your support!

    Oh my god, this is so disheartening. My thoughts go out to the developer and his family. :(

    A heartfelt thanks for all the excellent plug-ins that you've contributed to the cause. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to assist you.

    Guys please donate to the cause, every little bit helps. Perhaps we could do some kind of drive to help in some small but tangible way. It's always the good people that suffer the most. :sad:

    Not only that but the WOK Lexor Chorus and the WOK Phaser are AMAZING FUKN PLUGINS! BLOODY BRILLIANT for someone that does this as a ONE-MAN-TEAM!

    Unfortunately I am more broke than a fuckn broken record. But I swear if I had the cash den ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... I would so donate hardcore. I would donate so hard porn be like, "damn boy, ease down on the hardcore..."

    For now the best I can do is BUMP this thread up till everyone sees this!

    And guys if u can, share the OP's post around to every sound engineer or general human being you know!!!! :)

    BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!!!
