Roland disappeared at the shop?!

Huh, was scrolling through the UA shop and there are only 3 Delay/Modulation plugins left. What happened to the Roland-Plugs?! (or am I blind?)

EDIT: yes, they are gone, no more avaible for purchase, but to be supported.
So now we have the silent switch to +VAT for europeans AND the silent drop of the Roland plugins (glad I bought them) - what comes next?!

what? thats so weird.. i justed checked the shop and they are really gone..

the RE301 is such an awesome delay and the roland dimension D is one of those plugins i will use on every session..

why have they been removed for purchase now? strange
perhaps a licence with roland did expire?

I couldn't find anything on the web, but if you google audio and roland, you get this. This bundle is no longer available for purchase, but will continue to be supported.

On the Dimension D page, UA suggests the MXR Flanger for a possible replacement.....

Sooner or later we'll find out what happened - luckily I have all of the Roland stuff.

Question - What happens to software updates - will the "legacy" Roland plugs still be installed?

Too bad they didn't give us a heads-up. I would have liked to pick up the chorus pedal, which is the only one I didn't have. I waited until just a few days ago and jumped on the deal for the Space Echo; really glad I did.

I thought it was just a store update glitch but I see now on the product pages that it's not. Good thing I bought the bundle during the summer sale. That is, unless they have something better coming. :) I think they better have replacements in the pipeline because the catalogue is seriously lacking in that department now.

They might be getting a bit old but they are still really good plugins (never cared much for the chorus though to be honest). I haven't been able to find any plugin that matches the Dim-D.

It's 10 years since they released the first plugins so it might very well be that the license expired and they didn't renew it.

But then again, they could have re-release them as non-branded - of course, if they did/do own the code.

BX Tuner also seems to be gone. I didn't find it anymore...
It sucked anyway. That said I own two copies of it because yes indeed I did re-purchase it for a better deal at one point.

Kind of sucks that the Roland stuff is gone away, I would have liked the opportunity to buy the chorus as well (in fact it was next up on my plugins to purchase list, DOH)

maybe this is one of those DirecTV deals where the license expired with a certain channel and they are renegotiating it's return??? :confused:

Maybe someone at Roland threw a fit because UAD had "their" stuff on sale (they do get quite funny about all kinds of stuff like that) and they decided to leave the sandbox and take their toys home.

Very odd - glad I have them all already. The Dimension D is one of my desert island plugins - couldn't live without it!

I was in the process of demoing the Dimension D and would have ended up purchasing it. A real disappointment.
