Nomadfactory's Plans For The Near Future., Updates on NomadFactory products. Rating Options

[syurin]

Hello Eric,

I'm looking forward to the upcoming announcement regarding the update to the Liquid Bundle. I'm also eagerly anticipating the updates to the BlueTubes Bundle and Magma, which are expected to be released later this year.

Recently, I’ve gradually started incorporating products from Nomad Factory, BBE, and Plug and Mix into the projects I handle as an engineer. Everything has been working very well so far, and the recently updated Motown EQ has delivered excellent results.

Besides the updates to the Liquid Bundle, BlueTubes Bundle, and Magma, are there any other products scheduled for updates within this year? Additionally, do you have any plans or ideas in place for next year and beyond? I would really appreciate it if you could share any information.

P.S.
I have one question: In the past, a license for Integral Studio Pack III allowed activation on up to five computers. However, it now seems to be limited to three. If I were to purchase another Integral Studio Pack III license now, would I be entitled to receive future updates for all included plugins with six activations under the same terms?

Second P.S.
In recent years, the wave of the ARM platform has also reached Windows.
Some DAWs and plugins have already announced support for Windows on ARM.
Do you have any plans to make the plugins from Nomad Factory, BBE, and Plug and Mix compatible with Windows on ARM in the future?

Hi syurin,

Thanks a lot for your message and kind words — it really means a lot to hear from engineers and producers who are actively using Nomad Factory, BBE, and Plug & Mix plugins in their day-to-day work. That’s exactly why we’re putting so much effort into modernizing the entire catalog: to make sure these tools stay relevant, powerful, and reliable for your creative needs.

Now, about the updates…

I've learned over the years not to make promises when it comes to plugin development — especially around release dates. Our dev team often comes up with clever new ideas or improvements while working on legacy code, and I always encourage them to push further. That means things can take more time, but the results are well worth it.

The Liquid Bundle is just about ready and we're aiming for a mid-June release.
After that comes the big one: the Blue Tubes Bundle, including BlueVerb and Analog TrackBox — 20 plugins in total. It’s a flagship collection, so we’re taking extra care with the update. A lot has been done already, but there’s still some heavy lifting ahead. If all goes to plan, we’d love to launch it around September for the Back-to-School season. But again — no promises until we’re confident with the beta.

Then comes MAGMA — a beast with 65 plugins. After the work we did on the P&M V.I.P. Bundle (50 plugins), we’ve built up some great experience and momentum, but MAGMA is still a major challenge. If everything stays on track, we expect the full Nomad Factory product line to be updated by mid-2026.

As for the license question: You’re right — the original Integral Studio Pack III allowed up to five activations, while newer licenses are currently limited to three. However, all updates to the included plugins will be provided for free, regardless of when you bought the bundle. That’s a commitment we made years ago with my late friend and co-founder Bernie Torelli, and I intend to honor it. It’s not always easy, but it’s the right thing to do.

And to answer your last point: Yes, we do plan to support Windows on ARM. All of our updated plugins are being built on a modern cross-platform framework that makes it easier to follow OS and DAW evolution — including ARM support, both on macOS and Windows.

Hope this gives you a clearer picture of what’s ahead!

Kind regards,
Eric

I was helping Bernie and Dmitry with testing Magma some years ago so if you need any help just let me know. I've already got a valid Legacy Key.

Looking forward to Magma and the Blue Tubes updates.

Hello Eric,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply.
I'm looking forward to seeing the full lineup of plugins, including the Liquid Bundle, Bluetubes Bundle, Magma, and others.

If development allows, I would be delighted to see more updates on platforms like X, Facebook, and YouTube.
There was a time when some friends to whom I had recommended Nomad Factory asked me, "Has Nomad Factory shut down?"
We live in the age of social media, and I believe that promotional activities through platforms like these will become increasingly important for brands such as Nomad Factory.
As a personal fan of Nomad Factory, I try to gather and share information myself, but I believe official updates would carry even more weight and credibility.
I sincerely hope that the outstanding work by your team reaches a wider audience.

Additionally, here in Japan, where I am based, Media Integration Inc. serves as the official distributor.
However, the information on their site is outdated, and there have been no recent sales or promotions.
It would be wonderful if you could coordinate with Media Integration and consider running some promotions for Japanese users as well.

I truly hope that a bright future lies ahead for Nomad Factory.
