According to his linkedin profile, Jørgen is working full-time at finn.no as an Android app developer.olikana wrote:if jorgen really "fixed a bug with sampler playback ( I guess referring to the broken playback when multiout/groups are used) then why he's not released it yet?
it is really all that is urgent to fix to make xt3 a fully functional product.
I would guess that energyXT simply doesn't make enough (any?) money to support him, so the effort put in is probably reduced to reflect that (kind of a catch 22). Does energyXT even have a Flattr or Patreon account?
(Does Jørgen even have any telemetry for eXT usage statistics?)
Personally I still find that eXT 3 (even with missing features from v1.x) in 2017 is *still* the best for 'music composition' for my purposes, and I still use it (also use iPad Korg Gadget).
I suppose we all find it strange and annoying that an application like energyXT could be semi-abandoned because we don't know if there are structural code reasons that caused the development slowdown.
Also, we probably all find it strange that even as a secondary or part-time project, that some other 'volunteer' C++ developers are not kept on the project (as a background task) to keep the application up to date with the industry (not necessarily paid developers but simply to have their name added to the About box).
This post is not written with the aim of drumming up hope or support, but rather to gain understanding of how the project entered this 'slowdown' stage.
