A special upgrade price is available : Full version and all its further updates can be purchase for €69 ($99) by all the no-brainer customers read more  ....

We do what we do so musicians can do what they do :

Software makers invest as much time and brain power in developing their musical products as hardware makers do.
The big advantage is that once we are done, you can get our creations via a download. And, we can fix things or add features.
The downside is that unlike hardware, software can be copied and shared.
So the challenge becomes, what is the right price so that the customer gets a great value and we can eat?

Now is the time for us to see how to best get our instruments into your hands.

The No-Brainer version has limited features and won't be updated ( It brings all the V1.0.2 features ) but bugs will be fixed :
