Hello,
Knows anybody why since June 2014 no update was published?

    Because the firmware is quite stable now, is my guess... What are you looking for in an update? Is there some bug that is annoying you?

    I'm satisfied with the June firmware. :)

    second that! there's always room for improvement, but I think the firmware is not really mature enough to not having to be updated every month.

    For market reasons and new LXR interest persons the number 0.34 indicates a not ready in early development stage product. The same topic was/is with the Spectralis (a great machine) the other way round. It has now OS 1.5 but still some functions are not programmed (useless knobs) or anounced fuctions were never implemented (like live input recording of knob movements).

    regarding the firmware version I just incremented it with each 'release' so far.
    never came around to make meaningfull version umbers or a roadmap.

    there are still a few things I'd like to implement soon and a few bugs I know of.

    development stalled a little bit over the last months because I needed a little distance to the code (works wonders for the motivation!) and worked on a few other projects. But that does not mean I won't do any LXR coding anymore.

    Don't know how to proceed with the version numbers and when would be a good time to call it 1.0

    Hi Julian,
    I understand that because I think the LXR is far more near to 1.0 than to 0.34. But 0.34 suggest new interest
    persons a very early stage of OS development. That was my intention to say.

    Dayflight: For DIY-people, the version-numbers ain't that important. Especially not when it comes to open source projects... I believe that it is very strange to compare an open source DIY-project with a commercial product. The audience may in a few cases be the same, but the expectations of the product is quite different.

    You are correct that 1.0 would be better if the LXR was a product competing with the Tanzbär, Tempest, Rytm, Machinedrum, etc. But it is not - as you can't walk into a shop and get one. You can ask someone to build you one, but already there you probably know lots more about the product than the average joe walking into a Guitar Center to get a drummachine. And for the most of us it's been a DIY project - and the version number is not that big a deal...

    So enjoy your machine. If you're missing functions or have ideas about how things could be done differently - please let us now - even if you can't implement them yourself, I'm sure I or someone else can do it if we find it important. The wonders of open source! :)

    Best regards
