Disk streaming is mandatory Is it though? I've just measured: VSCO2 CE + VPO + Salamander Grand Piano + No Budget Band comsume about 6 GiB of space. Assuming they are 16 bit int and I store 32 bit float in RAM, they would occupy 12 GiB of RAM. That would still fit into my 16 GiB. And that's 2 full ...

You don't have to be in the copyleft sandbox on the extreme end of the spectrum in order to be "free" in a useful sense. You're mixing up copyleft and free software. MIT, BSD, GNU/GPL, Mozilla Public License, CC0, etc. are all free licenses as defined by the FSF. Whether a license is copy...

The reality of software appears to range from completely locked down to completely free, and all stops in between. There are no stops between proprietary and free. It is either free or it's not. If it isn't free then by definition it is proprietary because it doesn't meet the 4 clauses that define ...

but which one is more free?. There is no such thing as more free or less free if we are talking about free software. It is either free (it meets the defined criteria for free software) or it is non-free. There is no middle ground. Sure there are different licenses which allow/restrict other things ...

Excellent, I'm genuinely interested to hear your ideas. Aw, hell, here's the draft I've written a couple of days ago: ## License ### 4 fundamental freedoms ### Manual license audit ### AI legalese interpreter ### Database of copyright/patent/trademark laws ### Automated license audit ## Step 2 ### ...

+1 to this. SFZero has disk streaming but lacks a million other things.

Yes, I'm gonna write the article after I convert my site from Jekyll to Hugo. Both systems suck but Hugo sucks less.

The HISE sampler engine might be good if you can build it without needing JUCE - I know your views on JUCE

As far as features are concerned

The implementation of as many opcodes as possible - Key switching, Dynamic crossfading, round robin, legato.

It is correct. I think FSF should have spent half of the effort on combating malicious features in free software because this is very hard. We need awareness. We need people to understand that just reading the license is not enough. I agree that malware in free software is a terrible thing but I do...

I'm openly and extremely hostile towards Free Software Foundation. I read your article and from what I gathered it seems like you're hostile towards the FSF because they achieved their goals but they don't care about other things that you think they should care about. i.e. They want software to be ...

Does HISE use its own language?

Yes, HISE Script. The syntax is very similar to java script - in fact the file format is .js

Make files are never easy to compile unless the call the package manager or become the package manager.

Linux distribution all are open source. Android isn't open source. There is the difference. :wink: Erh no that's not true at all. It's true that all Linux distros (including Android) contain "open source" software. But very few distros are entirely "open source" and even fewer a...

Interesting... well if it's got Linux I call it a Linux distro, but if it's got GNU then it's a GNU distro. :p
