Since then they've been swamped with complaints about the software - it's buggy, it's badly designed, it's essentially crap. It was a complete turkey - rushed out before it was ready in order to make fxpansion some money before the sale to ROLI. I think Geist 2 is essentially dead at this point. And it obviously hasn't been working out. They probably sold to ROLI as a last ditch attempt to become solvent, just like Cakewalk being sold to Gibson. I honestly think they're going the way of Cakewalk. The fxpansion forum seems to be dying too - the Geist forum is currently inundated with a stream of spam posts spanning 2 days which nobody from fxpansion appears to have seen. The last update for Geist 2 was in March, and no more updates in sight. I paid for the upgrade and have yet to use it in a project - I just go back to Geist 1.
Otherwise the acquisition wouldn't make much sense.I think Geist 2 is essentially dead at this point. Roli is a hardware company and I doubt they would acquire FXPansion without Angus still coding the software.
The website is still up and I still get email updates from them.
