there should be a crowd source funded project to track him down

We and other people have tried, without success.

Has anyone hired a PI?  Just seems so bizarre

I really like the way X3 hides the wave behind a melodyne or VV wave. Before if you opened the take lane you would get two waves and also the wave behind it could end up unmuted and I had doubling effects that I did not know where it was coming from.
 
And Melodyne editor costs nearly a couple hundred dollars more than Cakewalk??? Is there not something totally arrogant about that price?
 
I think that price alone should be a prime reason why VV's creators should add a bit of competition in the market...
 
Just saying...

I found his ancestry - parents and siblings, and tried looking for any sibling posts where he appeared, but he is a ghost.
 
I wish Google could process something like:
 
SELECT Address, Phone, from Earth.humanity
 WHERE Name = "Torgen Kjaerhus" and Associated_Domains USED TO INCLUDE "http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/"

Well I hate to be a downer, but this industry is tiny - which makes it difficult to amortize significant R&D efforts over a large number of units. There are exceptions like Cakewalk that sell to a broad audience and have multiple products, but it's tough for small companies selling niche products to survive. 
 
Companies don't want to charge more than they have to, because the lower the price, the more units they'll sell...up to a certain point. The reality is there are only so many people in the world who wake up saying "What I really need is polyphonic pitch correction software" or pitch correction software in general, and many of them have already bought into Auto-Tune. 
 
I'd be willing to bet that someone at Roland looked at the cost of maintaining and updating V-Vocal, projected the returns, and decided it would be a losing proposition. And based on what I know of this industry, if that's the case I'd say they would be correct in their assessment.

Rexred...um..there is competition in the market..Melodyne and Autontune are just leading at the moment, but there are others.  Izotope  makes a couple products.  So does Waves.

I have just seen Montey Python live. The dead parrot sketch is alive and well :)

@Alex - FABULOUS - wish I could have seen it - fortunately they will someday have to settle another law suit and will work out some sort of cable TV offering for the show.
