I want a revamped program and tubesynth with more modulation options. Or at least something that we could load custom wavetables and have a multimode filter.
I am kinda disappointed with Fabric as it is very basic in terms of modulation features

Interesting to see what happens as while I can see the free expansions not receiving much more than the odd bug fix, it would be unusual to not provide some level of ongoing development for a premium plugin. I mean, if you paid $150 for an actual VST, you'll at least expect some 'point' updates to polish things up a bit.

Fabric would benefit from being able to lock to two layers together so you can easily make equal adjustments to both sounds,. And of course being able to load in custom samples/waveforms etc. Or just bring some of the juicier fabric features to standard keygroups (would love some of those additional LFO waveforms, like the random drift).

given that Tube synth was free u would not expect any further development; fabric xl maybe but the regular free version again prolly no additions but maybe people expet too much from these instruments they like the mpc should be taken forwhat it is currently, which is still way beyond many products of yesteryear.

also who cares if a product does not have every single feature; people always talk abut how limitations are beneficial but then as the same tie complain about missing features

u want a virtul mpc 60 on the mpc; that is pointless

I have their Matrix 6 keygroup. Sounds great.

If you have an ipad, Korg has the iM1 with all expansion cards available.
