Well, I've been away from SynthMaker for quite a while now. Feels like almost a year but in fact it has been quite a bit longer.

I've never actually stopped using it, since my digital drum kit is in SM and I prefer it over the commercial alternatives like BFD and the Toontrack stuff. So I do maintain it sometimes. Also SM is still a great tool to do GUI control prototyping. But I now touch it for a few hours a month at most.

Since then, pretty much nothing has happened as far as development, despite a large number of unresolved issues with it. And the community seems to be slowly dying as well with far less activity.

FlowStone doesn't seem be doing much better. It's getting development but, like SM's latest releases, mostly just useless stuff the developer liked to make. The community there is still as dead as it was at the start.

Does Malc still talk to anybody and is he working on anything? Does he even communicate at all with the community?
