Which is the main reason we didn't include any synths of our own. Most users have their favorites and there are also so many free ones out there, it made no sense to us to try and reinvent the wheel. By the way, one trick to allow you to keep using a plugin like Alchemy is to install a great product called Loopback (Rogue Amoeba makes it) and it lets you trivially route audio from one application to another. So you could leave a MainStage instance running with Alchemy and then use IAC (for MIDI) and Loopback (for audio) to route everything back into Gig Performer. I use this all the time to leverage some audio stuff in MaxMSP that I want available in Gig Performer




I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you :-) More seriously, we put out significant updates pretty much about once per month. Some very cool stuff running in house already that will be of interest to anyone interested in such things as automation and real-time processing :-) We do have a couple of interesting plugins coming as well - essentially to address solutions that don't seem to exist already though third party plugins. SIgn up for our news letter if you want to be notified.
