DSP Robotics Support

Does it matter if you support it or not? For some reasons hey don't wanna do it, otherwise would've done it in a heart beat. But keeping people in dark isn't right.

... forget it.

Say Yes for 64bit!

People, please forget the illusion and move on.
For audio/vst the product is dead.

Else they would allready have answered any of the requests here on this forum.
Any other company reacts on topics if directly pointed to them.

There is no estimation, no reaction, no nothing if they will ever go 64bit or mac direction.

These requests are here now for years.

They kickstarted their PAW project, probably it won't sell as good as hoped, but i don't blame them, i would have done the same probably. If you see that some efforts are not going to give the reward you need, you will take an other path.
Even if they would like to creat 64bit/mac support for you. If it is not profitable enough then they don't do it.

Maybe a better solution is: make the 32 bit/win version open source and free. Make the 64bit/win/mac support paid.
You gain more users then ever before, plus they want more and will pay for the paid version.

See what Livecode did. They have a similair concept. Free when opensource, paid when not open source. And there are many many users and growing.

Looks like they are investing a researching in robotics and hardware support + Teaching. (sure FS is damn good for teaching)
This mean they have no intention to go 64 bit, at least today.
I think we are just a small market for them. And sure they go where money is, not where there's none.

Move on to what exactly?

you're rigth jjs, but you forgot that the product is sold in "license" to classrooms" and teacher. Maybe it's better for them to not release a free open source version ever.
It's an old and legit type of businnes. I say "old" since also microsoft now it's releasing things in OS. Look for example to azure platform.

The software is still good for making audio stuff. You can make good stuff, bud you won't get a 360° solution for plugin dev.
Look elsewhere for making plugin stuff, i mean code them. You can still use Flowstone as a good prototype tool.

I agree.

I mean Like CoreStyler says, move on to something which will get you 64bit, mac support, android, Ios.
Learn C++ and how to integrate the vst dsk if you want to evolve your vst's to 64bit.

For VST there will be nothing new here, not even an answer or a roadmap.

I want to kwow in what language and ide is developped "Flowstone". (Mfc ? .net ? with visual studio ?)

I think the real problem is not software. I'm a new user. I think it's the lack of doc of usefull cases, lack of tuto video in yt, and lack of "marketing" (communication campain), lack of arduino, rasp, etc, connecting bricks.
But... flowstone is a great software. Let's see the evolution in the future.
