Every once in a while on a forum or blog some one gets around to asking, “What was the first commercial plugin you bought?” I suppose it’s something like junkies describing their first fix, or remembering your first cigarette or beer: a mixture of nostalgia, reverence, and regret.

If my email archive is to be trusted, aside from Vintage Warmer and M-Tron, my earliest plugin purchase were a couple synths from Muon Software. And, to be frank, I didn’t get much use out of them; I think shortly afterward I got Rhino, impOSCar and Albino in short order and I sort of began to learn synths through them.

I hadn’t thought much about ‘em other than to wonder why they went so quiet. Now they’re better know for developing a few of the ComputerMusic Suite of software instruments, which is probably what persuaded me to buy them. I guess I softa just figured they went a lot of smaller music developers go.

Come to find out, via the noble Rekkerd.org, that are they not only still chugging along, but recently updated there commercial plugins.

I wrote them about updating, since the info they had on me was from an entirely different web era, and they quickly got back to me with new software.

I guess it’s time to take these for another spin.
