I had Catanya and Harmonizer 32 bit and these are two of the funnest plugs you can imagine to play around with.
 
However, these are the only 32 bit plugs that did not survive my transition to 64bit.  I have sent about 10 e-mails to 7 aliens asking them for help or any news about 64 bit versions, and there is a stony wall of silence.
 
They have not released any updates in 2 years.
 
There web page is still up and it looks like they will take your money.
 
Does anyone know if they are still in business and have plans for any future releases ?

Despite the "7" in the name, I believe "7 Aliens" is a one-man operation. He is most likely a hobbyist who thought he might make a few bucks with his creations, but found he couldn't make enough to sustain an actual business. So he leaves the website up (which a third party manages for him) in hopes of snagging an occasional sale. But he's moved on and provides no support. Your only hope is that he's still dabbling with it on weekends, but I doubt it.

Do I have any inside information on this? No, I don't. I know his name is Branislav Dimos and he's from Czechoslovakia. Other that that all I know is the guy hasn't posted on KVR since September 2009, and hasn't updated his website or his software since January 2010. That, and I know that his is an all-too-common story.

So is my story all to common too Dave?

It is on this forum...

Dang, that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Dave - That is what I thought.   Just thought someone else knew something.

I may install reaper 32 bit (where I know it works) and then I can just move any midi patterns over.

I emailed the developer in November last year to ask him about 64-bit and he responded within a few days with the following reply:


"Yes, we plan to release 64bit version as well. We hope it will be soon. We will keep you posted. Have a nice day."

Cryophonik - have you ever got Catanya or Harmonizer to work in Sonar X1 64 ?

Yes.  I had to update to the latest version of jbridge (v1.4) in order for it to work, but it seems to work fine in 64-bit Sonar X1 and Studio One v2.

No luck for me with jbridge 1.4  (Demo).  Immediately crashes Sonar when I try to add Catanya.

I also tried jbridge with Jamstix which is 32 bit.  It would load the VSTi in the project, but everytime you try to reopen the project it crashes.  Put Jamstix back to Bitbridge and it works like a charm.

Maybe I am missing something, but it seems it is supposed to be pretty straight forward.

Hi ,
I really apologize for keeping you waiting so long on my answer, but we had some serious unexpected personal problems in our Customer Service but now everything is all right. Our company ist not „dead“.
It´s really good to hear that you are interested in our product. We plan to release new version catanya and w2 harmonizer with new features and new presets and many other cool improvements that will be compatible also with Mac and 64 bit Windows. It will be really amazing stuff. We hope it will be soon. So once again, thank you for patience. Keep your fingers crossed!
