Hallo, Malte Steiner hat gesagt: // Malte Steiner wrote:
Its scary how sudden a good platform can vanish,
While scary it's not too unusual for closed source software, if the maker goes out of business. That's is one of *the* major reasons people (like me) only use open source/free software.
So the jMax case is even more scary: It shows, that even an open source software can be killed. However I'm sure, that if there hadn't been an alternative to jMax in the form of Pd, then jMax would have survived even IRCAM. Somehow Max (the very old one) survived in the form of Pd.
