^ this is true, it’s just unfortunate when the developers lose interest and the project dies half-finished or un-updated (as is the case with Guru and several other great Renoise scripts). As great as user scripting can be, this is the major drawback, and it is a major drawback. I see the same thing with Reaper scripting all the time, amazing projects abandoned at 80% completion. Even the legendary SWS Reaper extension appears to be dying. So as great as the scripting stuff can be, and all its potential, most of the time it ends up sputtering out and dying and is left to torment late-comers who want that functionality but will never have it unless they learn to code and are willing to invest the time. Experience shows me this is exceedingly rare – once a project like that dies, it’s dead, most of the time. Nobody picks it up, even though it’s open source and they technically can do so.
When software like Renoise or Reaper has third-party user scripting, they should (imo) commit to a willingness to take on the best projects and actually roll them into the main program, assuming the original author agrees. There are rumours (for example) the Cockos guys are going to roll SWS into the main app, I’m really hoping they do because without SWS Reaper will no longer be Reaper. With Renoise, the best stuff – and it is awesome – is coming from danoise lately, and he’s part of the Renoise team…
