It's an hiloarious fail that everybody is bashing steinberg. With the advent of VST3 it was very clear from the beginning that VST2 will go away. It was a bunch of reluctant developers that a.) didn't move and b.) never supported VST3 fully ... for instance per note articulation. There are a few devs that kind of never complain like Melda ... that's interesting sort of.Trancit wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:33 amAt the very end it doesn´t matter...mudi1974 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 7:43 amSteinberg is owned by Yamaha. Why would they want to sell this core asset to investors? Don't think that it would make sense and don't believe this will ever happen.OdoSendaidokai wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:50 pm Maybe you can trust Steinberg, why not ... but what can happen when there are some investors buying Steinberg and wanting to make more money by selling licenses for developing and hosting. Or maybe just offering subscriptions for developers.
It´s dangerous anyway that the rights and the saying about a standard like this lies in the hand of a single company which is on top a competitor to all others...
So CLAP is the only logical way for every developer in the future and actually those people should be smart enough to understand that it´s easier and much more safe to go the CLAP route instead of hoping that Steinberg doesn´t get more crazy...
Why should this Version-to-Version mechanics of software development be different with Clap? Why is not governing an advantage? Peps can do forkes and f**k the whole Idea by forking and going different ways. That is simply the way product development goes. If a Clap 2.x supercedes Clap 1.x then what are your options? Windows 7 is gone ... everybody had to move. Even Java as a programming language got rid of some classes after years (it is owned by Oracle) and finally the force people to move in order to not block progress...
