The Logic Off Topic list

*Hopefully* there are people developing such beasts secretly right now.
Maybe at that German music convention soon where Emagic will hopefully
announce the 5.0.1-or-whatever features some new 90'ish digital VSTi synth
will be unleashed by someone. 

About selling custom built instruments... IMO it's just like the Swiftkick
stuff Len sells. Many great environment objects and Reaktor ensembles are
available for free yet for very high quality stuff (the whole Swiftkick
collection, or professional-quality synths like some of the ones Dash has
created) cost a bit extra... $100's would be too much for anything short of
*SPECTACULAR* but a small US$10-$25 fee seems reasonable to me for hours and
hours and hours of virtual construction work and ideally good documentation.
