Darn, this prog looked really useful but a modular DSP environment without VST hosting (or OSC) isn't generally useful today. There are too many good options that provide both and signal processing simply requires VST to build anything with any sophistication. I'll be hoping for an eventual email ...

i agree about python, it is better than ruby for desktop usage and it works while ruby is full of bugs and not well implemented in flowstone and also the timing precision is not fully solved, because the ruby interpreter cannot handle too much data as needed to work at audio rates.

I didn't know ...

Thanks for the reply. My need for convolution is not for reverb but rather for FIR linear transfer functions which require similar length for low frequency resolution.

I'm afraid that without VST hosting my initial enthusiasm for FlowStone has flowed away. To be viable in today's marketplace any ...

Can I include VST plugins in my schematic? If not, how am I supposed to do fundamental, computation intensive DSP operations like convolution?

Many thanks!

I personally like the rental mode and the way that they have set it up very much. My use is sporadic with months between projects. Suits my needs well. All I could ask for would be a time out after my last use to automatically go to rent idle but it's not hard to see why you wouldn't want to do that ...
