AddStation, first product since 2017.
Lol, Robin is definitely not an iOS musician, otherwise he would have heard of the many other releases from VirSyn 😉
Sure, I saw the other releases but according the website 2017 was the last update to anything…. similar for Facebook…. Instagram has only 5 posts… so they’re not exactly getting themselves out there 😀
