Current Development on [BLOK]

[BLOK] is still under active development, aiming for a commercial release of the VST as soon as possible.

Zephod works using the following priorities:

  • 1 Fix bugs (see Category:Bugs).
  • 2 Make the interface work as expected.
  • 3 Make the sound work as expected (or write wiki pages explaining the design choices if some result is not obvious).
  • 4 Add new sound features.
  • 5 Write new sounds for the default banks.

Using the following design principles:

  • 1 Minimalism. [BLOK] needs to remain simple and obvious in its use, complex in its output only.
  • 2 Things should "just work" with no penalties. This means sometimes parameters will not be automatable because the cpu usage would go through the roof.
  • 3 All hosts are equal, but some hosts are more equal than others. The VST version has some obvious benefits. (more midi, patchbank etc). Functionality of the audiocore will always be equal between the different versions, but surrounding GUI will probably not be. Dont ask for this to be fixed, since there needs to be -some- incentive for people to buy the VST version.

Zephod prefers working on priority 4 and 5.. and will sometimes randomly do so if he is in need of some entertainment, even though some bugs still exist. Also, he probably has probably got more demands/ideas than anyone would even dare to suggest.. so please read the current todo list. If a feature is not on there, it is quite possible that whatever you want to do is already possible in some other way. Ask around on the forum to discuss your request with others before adding it to the list here.
