Nevertheless, I gave a little try to an VST synth using WDL-OL libraries some time ago, following Martin Finke's blog, but I finally came to the conclusion that there wasn't a considerable difference (compared to FS) in terms of latency and sound quality, to continue using archaic and tedious ways of programming.
Now, to be honest, I don't own a business and I'm not selling VST pluggins; at least, right now. I'm just learning how to use this beast called flowstone because it's the most productive development environment I've ever had the chance to use in my life. It's so "straight-forward" that I didn't even need the documentation to create a complete synthesizer with it, for the first time.
Well, yes, I can agree that FS is really cool and moreover, opens the universe of software development even for very poor skilled coders like me. But it still suffers from the not-existence of cross platform plugin rendering (for mac, linux, andorid, etc) and yet doesn't support a decent sample adopting method (like disk reading) nor advanced midi handling (for instance, working with midi files), so knowing other languages still has it's strong x-factor.
About your plugin: I tested it and it's sounds full of potential, but still needs a hard cooking. The syncing with the DAW bpm is yet not perfect and the step sequencer GUI is quite confusing. Also, the virtual keyboard doesn't respond to pressing ( I have no idea if that what you've been meant to do or just a bug...)
But overall it creates powerful and very musical note combinations and that's a huge reason to wait for a progress.
Thanks for sharing and keep it coming
