What happened is they just had an update.

Over a decade after the thing was released, if I'm correct?

No, those are only several examples.

The Virus TI OS is upgradable and it works well.

All modulars are upgradable and fare well with that.

Many Nords get OS upgrades.

The Waldorf Q got an OS upgrade lately. Mind you, no additional
features, but still. How many years is that after it was first
released?

etc


With regards to the Solaris, I wonder who is working on the DSP right now.
