1 year!! The so amazing "non-possible-to-define-it-version-2.0" 😠 What i don't undestand is why they not release an SDK, an API in order to make people able to expand sm and create primitives...

Once they do that, they couldn't possibly earn from new versions anymore :P. People here seem to be quite competetive and creative on their own. on the other hand, Synthmaker on its own is software-creation tool which allows quite a lot of options and levels of abstraction. I don't think we could expand it a lot more without a risk of breaking things.
Unless you want to make it open-source, which is another question. Fans of Blender once bought rights to it for

Yes too. But an SDK and a way for creating primitives does not matter if can make it unstable. Private things make possiblity to do different things on your own project, and to share/sell primitives too. They will not make SM unstable because, removing 3rd party primitives/modules you will have the SM basic software. Imagine to create an entire FX DSP, like a compressor, using an SDK and making it a primtive. This mean you can sell it as a component, or share it without making anyone able to reproduce it. Im not one of the "guru" that can make custom DSP, though i will be one of the people that will buy other guru SM primitives to use in my synths.
This also mean that mp3, sf2 or any other format can be implemented (and any function) without the need of waiting ufficial expansions of primitives, and sure, will make SM surely more well known and widely used (buyed too).

Happy Birthday 2.0.5!
But, wait a moment, that little animation up in the top right corner still keeps flashing up "get the latest 2.0.4"
OMG, maybe like ladies of a "certain age", they have begun to lie about their advancing years and are counting backwards - version 1.0.0 is going to be a "killer app" for sure! 😈

Hehehe. Yes just a restyling "plastic" for next 1.0.0 release. (codename "young beautiful girl")

Happy Birthday ! I can't remember any software that still is being sold with the same version one year later, eeeh maybe Synthedit then... But most of the time there is a new version or a totall new alike product and the old one is officially no longer supported, but they told us to be positive 😊
Anyway i do my time now watching the european football championship and of course hope the dutch will do ok the last match against Portugal 😀

Yes, they come to take a peek every once in a while - though it's not possible to tell what they actually look at while they're here (they would have to log in even just to take "moderator" actions for users' login problems, for example) Either way, they are aware of the concerns of the user base from the folks who contact them via e-mail, and I have noted in past threads/posts some of the stuff in their replies - but they have always made clear that they will not comment explicitly about future development of SM, other than to say that they still have an active interest in musical applications of their software. As Philter's post hints, despite the age of 2.0.5 and the targeting of FlowStone, their support is still there for users contacting them with problem schematics etc. - so SM is still not yet a complete 'orphan'!

He he, ever the optimist eh, DWB! 😉 More like the Mary Celeste than the Titanic, I think - becalmed in the doldrums, rudderless, and so many of the old crew no longer here... 😝
