Hi guys.
I am in dissertation madness at the moment but already I'm getting excited about my next set of projects and coming back to SM! I am going to be honest, I haven't the time to look back at the past 2 years' worth of updates etc. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what has happened with regards to updates etc? Has that MIDI triggering thread bug been fixed yet???
I want to bring this project across to SM:

....and maybe try and release it as my first VSTi. I think it's probably doable but I'm afraid I've forgotten/lost touch with what will or won't work in SM now.
Thanks,
Mike

Very briefly...
SM doesn't crash half as much & a few new shiny things in the toolbox....
...but MIDI threading, green timing SNAFU.

But honestly, stick with Max/MSP since people can run your creations with the runtime. Cycling'74 put out 3 big updates to 1 SM medium sized update. If you're desperate to build a real VST, might be best to learn C#/C++; I don't see SM having stable MIDI this year at all.
That's an awesome project you have there! Mind sharing it? 😉

That's precisely what I don't like about Max. People want VST's! I've had quite a few requests for it so I'm still trying to decide what to do with the source code for the sequencer. Not sure if I want to let it go or make it into a commercial plug-in. C++ is my next mountain, after I get my work done, find a job and have some spare time!

Oh it is worse than that; the regular green trigger system has issues.

The runtime also works in Ableton Live 8, which is a larger % of your target market. Or build in OSC/MIDI-out/ReWire support, & sell as Max/MSP export with the idea of users downloading the runtime. Nothing wrong with that IMHO.
You can email me with more details about my opinion.
