Thanks for the tip. Kontakt and some others also support the format. But it still feels pissiful to be abandoned.

Pissiful - that is a very good addition to my vocabulary! Very Happy Thanks Bachus!

Seriously though, it's more than a bit annoying when manufacturers drop products and their long-standing customers like that, a big BOO to Tascam! Twisted Evil

that's how the market works. You can't expect a manufacturer to support a product forever. they need to sell something else, newer, better, groovier et cetera Twisted Evil
