I haven't seen a single post from UVI or anyone even remotely employed by UVI here. Some forum members have reposted quotes from other forums and that's it. I play music mostly in bands that get underground recognition, nothing more. Never worked for any manufacturer of anything. I never have and probably never will take a sponsorship of any product, goes against my life philosophy.
I'm simply reporting what I see, that M53 is stagnant and UVI have moved on. I see no reason to place blame onto either companies shoulders; we simply do not know what happened there.
MOTU haven't updated or improved M53 or any of their plug ins for some time, years actually. Some of us feel that's a good indication that it's time to move on.
I think you're blaming the messengers a bit for the message that's all.
