Well, we have reached the final conclusion. It all depends on Taktik and his way of thinking.I think that answers what is happening today.
@Fsus4.Maybe Taktik does not care about this situation.When he pleases, he will return, and will do whatever he wants or decides.In these forums it has been proven many times that certain customer requests will never be added, such as audio tracks, pianoroll and all that. What is the reason?Supposedly, Taktik will not want to.Moreover, the situation that you proposewith third party developers, already could exist with Danoise, or DBlue, programming also under the bonnet of Renoise. And that does not happen, perhaps because Taktik acts as a brake.
The current stage looks like the following (“seems” because there is nothing official, just some comments from Taktik in the forums months ago), speculating:
- Taktik is working on another “great mysterious project” unrelated to Renoise. That’s why there’s nothing new about Renoise these days…
- Renoise 3.1.1 in this year?: small update with bug fix.In my opinion, it should have been out months ago, because it only corrects errors.
- Renoise 3.2.0 in 2018-2020, 2022? with new plan included: serious update with GUI for high resolutions and other important things, according to Taktik’s comments,January 17, it will only touch the current GUI to adapt it to high resolutions, not a new code for the GUI to work better, using vector images, for example. Currently, Renoise uses small PNG images on the icons. And the tools are a brake for Renoise to evolve as it should, when they should not.
- Renoise 3.2.1 with error corrections in 2022-2024???
- …
- Renoise 4.0.0 in 2040??? …an important version every 2-3 years
I hope Renoise 3.2.0 marks a before and after with a new GUI with new code, not based on the old GUI of 3.1.0, to mark and guide the future of this DAW.GUI with a vision of the future, not with vision to preserve the past…
