Not that long ago, in a galaxy not that far away, we released an update to Pharos IV: Assault!
This 1.1 updates unleashes computer assisted torpedo targeting for greater accuracy, resumption from highest level attained - no more starting over from level 1 - and fixed the stutter issue that affected iPhone 3.0 users.
Update is for both iPhone/iPod Touch and Pharos IV: Assault and Pharos IV: Assault Lite versions.
This latest update for Comic Touch (1.2.2) (direct link to App Store) addresses several issues that popped up with the release of the latest iPhone 3.0 update.
The update fixes UI display, photo rotation issues when going into landcape mode, and image effects display issues.
Please update from within iTunes or using your iPhone/iPod Touch device.
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/18 03:18I strongly second the idea of handing over the development to a company that is fully focused on audio software development...
- Native Instruments would be an obvious choice (tho perhaps not ideal).
- There is an excellent developer of RTAS plugins named Steven Massey (http://www.masseyplugins.com/) who's got his heart in absolutely the right place... perhaps he'd be interested in stretching out.
- Personally, I use Rax with my Vienna Instruments library (http://www.vsl.co.at/), and I would love to see them integrate the functionality of Rax and Wormhole into their products (as well as continuing to offer standalone versions).
It would indeed be a shame to see this software fade away just as studios are beginning to fully embrace the concept of CPU farms!
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/18 03:25i to have been using RAX with vienna VI and can't live without it!!! i was about to pop the dough then. BOOM!
i can live with the -12db but i need to save my projects too. what to do?
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/19 00:39There is a serious need for software like Wormhole in the Pro Audio industry. FX Teleport is great for some applications but not all even if it had cross platform support. FX Teleport supports only VST and not stand alone software. FX Teleport and Wormhole complement each other.
I don't think open source necessarily means lack of support but I don't mind paying for my software either. If you make it open source you should have one person or company which would lead the development. Not to take the blame or to be overbeared with support requests but to give a direction to the development of the sofware.

Eeee..I agree about giving/selling it to a specialist company, but please, not East West or Native Instruments, they both make some terrific sounding plugins but support them terribly IMHO (just look at the mess that is the DFD install you get when installing EWQLSO for example). Horrid horrid.
IMO a better fit would be a cool little independent company who put love and attention into what they do, and would understand your ethos and treat your work with respect and care. Someone like Audioease for example http://www.audioease.com/ (and if you've seen their forthcoming soundabout utility in action you'll see why I think they're a good fit.)Another smaller alternative would be VSL, since lots of their users will want to continue using these products, me included..http://www.vsl.co.at/. Finally, smaller I know but I'm really liking the guys that make Fabfilter - dealing with them just 'feels' good - so might be worth a try.
Re:Future of Rax and Wormhole2 - 2007/02/19 05:38RAX - keep it! Seems ironic that in the month you get reviewed in Sound on Sound UK mag (big screenshot etc), and the month after I pay my hard earned money for a macbook pro, softsynths etc (personal I know...but hey, we're a community...) that I then come to buy Rax to use live and....I can't....
I found out about you virally, it's just beginning to kick in....your short tail hasn't kicked in yet, let alone the long one.....!!!
Here's the plan......
1. Make it purchaseable again, but on the proviso that if you can't decide what to do with it, then support will disappear from January 1 2008. So, I pay $50 but on the understanding that I may lose support in a year or so. 2. You then have 10 months to sort it, pass it on, increase your user database as people hear abhout it, form a developer consortium, make it OpenSource, find a clever kid to work on it for you BEFORE Google hires them (haha)..... 3. Soft synths are the way forward for keyboard players and live DJ's etc etc, but NOBODY seems to be promoting it. There are no other standalone, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED software programmes that do what you do, You have the market for OSX aps, so what's the problem?!!
