it does? it just looks like yet another windows VST synth to me.

the small clique of 'talented' hackers, the ones who continually change their name to things like Radium*, (Mid)Air*, Oxygen(8)*, H2O, ArcTic, (O)Zone*, etc, dont even bother cracking things that are challenging anymore. like the recent versions of Samplitude and Cubase. who knows, maybe half of them have switched to linux for their own music making. and its not like they have a real incentive to provide for a bunch of lamers, other than boredom. 

* if selling a bunch of deliberate plasticy junk wasnt enough to make M-Audio lame, how about naming all their MIDI controllers after cracking groups?

how would U-He get paid to do that?
