Instruments • Re: The Legend HZ by Synapse Audio now available!

Of course no money changed hands, Hz never made a penny, he doesn't need it right?
Is your assertion factual though because judging by the price I'd say it has all the hallmarks of a business agreement, not just a casual exchange as you suggest.

Given that HZ approached Synapse, I'd suggest if any money were to have changed hands, it would have been HZ paying Synapse to do the work. I think the most likely scenario, however, is that they came to a mutual agreement - "we'll make this for you if we can use your name to sell it to the rest of the market" of "if you make this for me, I'll be more than happy to put my name to it, if you think that might help you with sales". A bit of bartering, if you like. Pure speculation of course, it just seems to me the most likely way it would have gone.

When kvr auto inserts an asterix or two in a word that exists in a modern dictionary, that's when you know the gig is up Bones

No, that's how you know what a sad f**king place this really is.

what If someone doesn't want the complexer Legend HZ but the simpler, and yes, cheaper original Legend?

Ditto for Hive 1.2, which is my preferred version, over Hive 2. But you can't buy Hive 1.2 any more, nor do you get access to it when you buy Hive 2. And u-he is a company that employs dozens of people.

Simply asking a simple question as to why they decided to take that option off the table..

Because it's an upgrade, not a new instrument. Synapse is two people, they don't have the resources to maintain multiple versions of everything, across multiple platforms. They'd never get anything else done. Synapse have discontinued many things over the years, as maintenance became too much of a burden - Orion, Scorpion, Junglist, their Poly800 emulation, etc.
