It just occurred to me that I haven't seen any new ProChannel modules in a long time, either from Cakewalk or 3rd party developers. Perhaps I'm just out of the loop. Has interest waned, or are there some I just don't know about?

In the beginning when ProChannel was introduced Overloud came on board and added the VKFX Suite and the reverb, then Boz came onboard with the 10+db, Panipulator and a couple of other I think, Softube gave us the free Saturation Knob and the Softube Mix pack modules (paid) were also added as PC compatible and with all that promise it seems to have died. Feel free to fill in bits of history and plugins I missed.
Recently we've had some Cakewalk updates and releases of 3 high end plugins for the PC so clearly Cakewalk don't see PC as a dead standard.


It would be nice to see some other developers come on line but before that happens the GUI for displaying the available plugins needs some tidying up.

I wish they would give us a way to allow plug ins to be modular sized for use in the PC.
Even if we could add a smaller gui like the FX chains.

That would be cool. Is there another Prochannel delay plugin or is it just the one from Overloud?

The VKFX one is the only one I'm aware of....

Yeah a nice delay unit would really round out the Pro Channel for me. It's the most-used plugin in my FX Bin insert.

As much as I love the PC, it's a big ask for developers to release in this format given that they can release a vst plugin that will work with almost any DAW including Sonar. The downside of the funky,  bespoke plugin :(
 
Even the full version upgrade of Breverb does not come as a Prochannel module.

Yep, so easy to do as it's just a striped down FX Chain.

 
And some PC Menu options, the list is too long for one menu. Even a simple, submenu by type/manufacture would help. Submenus exist, as the Style Dials has one.

I was hoping with Boz adding PC format for a few of their plug-ins, Imperial Delay would be one of them. Unfortunately, it has not happened. While not my favorite delay, it would be a welcome addition to the PC.

I would love a Klanghelm collaboration, which would answer requst for an RMS meter. Having SSDR, with a flyout to it's full VST would be cool. 
 
I think a transient designer would be cool too, maybe extend that XLN connection.

The 6 modules of RC20, could be 6 individual PC Modules, in the same way the VKFX comes as a full VST, but is broken down into PC parts.

 
P&M stuff looks like would fit easy too, above in the XLN pic and here.

 
I know it's down to the manufacturers, but it makes the PC format so much more appealing and sonar with it. To have these to choose from would cover masses of ground.
