fantastic news... Im very happy with the Spectralis functionality, but some fixes for the odd bug would be really great. (and getting 1.5 on the Spec 1 is great news on its own).
Jorg, as a software developer, I completely understand retaining intellectual property... as I often do to.
I also get a little fed up with the current culture that asks (expects?) you to give this away for free... why?
open source is the choice of the developer NOT a right, and it doesn't suit every project/product!
(rant over)
but I wonder is there another way to involve interested developers e.g. by signing an NDA?
of course, I don't even know what tools you are using,
it could your using some expensive DSP toolset/kit, so this makes it impractical anyway for anyone who is not doing this commercially.
Id point out, that I'd not expect anyone to be able to help much on the core sound engine or sequencing, but perhaps more the surrounding tasks, like menus/options or adding more sequencer targets... again, I completely accept without seeing the code, this may or may not be a reasonable expectation...and the associated overheads may make it not very attractive.
anyway, thanks again for producing a fantastic product... and I really hope you can give us one final update to sort out a few 'niggles'.
Thanks again
Mark
p.s. I saw some talk before of a 'test build' for the spectralis, which had some more external control possible via NRPN... is this likely to make it in? this is perhaps my one 'wish', as it would allow me integrate my Spectralis with other midi gear I have a little better.
