Conditional LOOP Prim

Post by keyjslider1 »

Dear developers,

please include into package the LOOP module primitive for green with conditional behavior incorporated. I mean logic like "loop while" or "loop until". This should be the module much alike the existind LOOP prim, but without fixed number of iterations. Instead, the looping stops only after the extra input condition becomes true or the iteration number exceeds the predetermined max limit.
Personally, I would need this prim to quickly read out array values, e.g., while the next equals the previous one. This is useful, e.g., to play MIDI score stored as array, when it comes to events, aligned to a single time signature (chords) etc. One might mention Ruby - please, no Ruby, cause Ruby loops are substantially slower, then those, implimented with prim. Additionally, yes, I would with pleasure use ASM module, if it could output triggers or numbers faster, then the sample rate...
Not only me could find this functionality useful.
Thanks.

multi touch and 3d touch support!
If it is implemented, FlowStone app would prevail over Liine Lemur.

something like cycling74 Max's object "vst~", which is a very exciting feature.
One can access and manipulate all the parameters of 3rd party VST.

Do you know "axoloti"?
cf. http://www.axoloti.com/

I strongly wish that FlowStone had such a feature (hardware DIY kit), although I have no experience with axoloti.

Although I'm a bit late, here you have three more wishes:

1. A new icon to distinguish easily "original" modules from "added/customized" ones.
2. A tool to search a string through all the modules of the schematic, not only through source code.
3. A direct access to video RAM function, for fast pixel manipulation. (e.g. scanline function or similar)

And finally, to the DSPRobotics team: Congratulations and thank you so much for your clever, useful, and affordable piece of software; it's so pleasant to work in a real visual programming environment like Flowstone that I can only expect it to become very popular in the future.

(Sorry for my bad English)

Hi all,
I am quite new at FS and my use case is probably a small minority. I use it to make small tools to automate calculations or tasks for my company, so, probably, my requests are somewhat strange:

1) Easier use of gems for Ruby and the possibility to package them in the same single executable to improve distributability.

2) Packaging as Android app.

3) Support for some useful API like Google maps.

In general it would be nice to make FS a more general purpose environment and not so focused like it's now.

Best regards
Michele
