Interesting Developments for CW Scope Users

In its time, Creamware's Modular was the showcase instrument
for their Scope platform, boasting great sound quality and
terrific programming potential. Modules designed by third
party developers filled gaps and took the platform to the
extremes of sound design, and Adern's FleXor pack is widely
regarded as the best of the lot:

Fast forward a few years through Creamware's insolvency and
the resultant stagnation of the platform, and you'll still
find FleXor in development, realising the best aspects of
the Scope concept, but change is coming, and it's not
looking good for Scope 5 users.
Adern and CW {now Sonic Core} have apparently not been able to reconcile
issues related to distribution and finances since
Creamware's bankruptcy and subsequent restructuring as Sonic
Core and Use Audio {cf. Plugiator}, so Adern are striking out
on their own and developing a native version of FleXor:

Note that it will run "natively, as well as on DSP systems."
Use Audio's Plugiator seems a natural candidate, since the
codebase is already there, but I wonder if there are other
options, like, say, Metric Halo's recently sexed-up audio
interfaces, which employ SHARCs for DSP duties.
Incidentally, have you Mac users seen what Metric Halo are
up to, lately? Arguably the best interfaces for the Mac jsut
got a hell of a lot better.

Nice, very nice.
