Seriously though, I’m looking hard at the year-end special on Numerology. Some hint of a finish line would be most appreciated.

Very good idea because you could end the wait and have a lot of fun the next years...
Hope to see you at the five12 forum to help you if something is needed.

It also appears that anyone purchasing Numerology 4 now will get a free upgrade to Numerology 5.

Tell me about it, I can't believe it's mid-March already: at the beginning of the year, I would have happily bet money on the new product being out by now too! Seems I'm much better at coding audio software than estimating timescales.
Soon, my eager followers, soon... !
( We're on the cusp of having the beta feature list locked down: when this milestone is reached, and the final UI polish is complete, all shall be revealed. )

Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:01 pm
Aiming for a public beta this year; we're definitely on the home straight now. I'm working my way through the a short list of outstanding development; unfortunately, I'm also adding to it each time someone suggests a good idea!

Thu Dec 06, 2012 3:19 pm
So we're now feature complete and onto final polish and usability testing. Not long now, my patient followers, not long at all!

Sat Dec 22, 2012 6:51 pm
'fraid so. With the best will in the world, the chances of this getting to beta over the Christmas period is pretty slim. So 2013 it is.

Thu Jan 03, 2013 4:34 pm
I wouldn't like to narrow the release down to anything more accurate than early 2013. It's feature complete in terms of being ready for a beta release, but there is still tidying and improving happening; lots of little tweaks, rather than any grand renovations.

Mon Nov 25, 2013 11:32 pm
Yes: I'm still aiming to get a public build out sometime before the chimes of midnight on January 1st 2014 (and I'm hoping that I don't cut it so close as to still be coding on New Year's Eve!)

Wed Sep 03, 2014 8:15 am
I'm aiming hard to still get it to you this year, and I sincerely hope to get it out this year. It's looking likely: the feature set is more or less locked in for version 1, and so a 2014 release is probable.

Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:44 pm
Thanks. I'm on the home-straight now; I'm confident that I'll have something for you all before the end of the year. I would say, "if not sooner", but I think that'd really be tempting fate.

Sat Nov 29, 2014 8:03 pm
It's looking likely that I'll have a beta by the end of this year or thereabouts, and then aim for a 1.0 release for some point in early 2015.

Sun Dec 21, 2014 11:05 am
It's all bug fixing and usability tidying now - no more feature development for v1 - so things are really looking good for getting it launched.

Thu Jan 01, 2015 2:35 pm
Thanks all for your continuing patience and support in this matter: I can confidently say, 100%, no excuses, early 2015 will see this in all of your eager hands!

Mon Jul 20, 2015 8:02 am
Still aiming for soon, and I can't see it slipping into 2016: there simply isn't much left to do,

Sun Nov 08, 2015 11:03 am
Long before that, my eager pals. By the summer, you'll all be nagging me for version 1.3, I hope.

Sat Dec 26, 2015 3:48 am
So close, you can taste it. I must admit, I didn't hit the coding as much as would have liked over the Christmas break, but I'm back on it full-time now, very refreshed, and ready to fix those last issues!

Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:38 pm
Aiming to release within the next couple of months. Admittedly I'm terrible at deadlines, but by sheer virtue of having little left to polish to get this ready for public consumption, I'm confident.

Wed Feb 15, 2017 10:13 am
At the beginning of the year I totted up the outstanding work, and based on this I'd have estimated completion at the end of February. A few other things - minor omissions that slipped off the development radar - have cropped up in the interim, and so have pushed the date back accordingly, so yes, next few months, March or April, seems likely.

Thankfully, Zeno's paradox fails when one accounts for the summation of infinite series, hence Achilles (me) will catch the turtle (release this year.)

Come on gentlemen, don’t you all know what it’s like to have a project that takes forever to complete? Damn, it took me 8 years to complete a 26 minute long LP...

VariKusBrainZ · Post by **VariKusBrainZ** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:21 am

So it's going to need a price tag of £500 + to account for the research and development period

nilhartman · Post by **nilhartman** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:27 am

Haha! My aformentionned LP ended to be a Name your price release, it was impossible for me to put a fair price on all the work involved. Not implying that Colin must release for free here though ^^

if only it was on windows I would have bought it years ago

Should be released before Trumps son-in-law brings the peace back in the Middle East. So no hurry

I’m almost entirely on Windows myself. I have a MacBook Pro that I bought so I could collaborate better with several friends who use Logic, but my daughter has more or less commandeered the computer and I’ve barely touched it. But Numerology was one of a small handful of programs I was interested in getting. Metasynth being another.

As for software taking a long time to develop, yes, I get it. I’ve spent most of this year writing software myself. My management wanted it finished within three months. I told them at the time that it wasn’t a realistic deadline, but no one wants to listen.

But as for !Epoch, I would be frustrated if I bought Numerology and then Colin finally released a beta in January. If we’re still six months off, or a year off, or some indeterminate amount of time off with no public beta in sight, that would make my decision easier.

that was my position this year but I decided to buy some sequencers anyway

I now have Cracklefield, Stochas and Kirnu Cream plus started scripting my own stuff again

When !Epoch comes out it will really depend on the pricing and how much I am using those sequencers. Stochas looks interesting - and using all of those interactively to control each other should be musically interesting

(I've been following this since the beginning but under a now "deprecated" KVR name)

You might want to check out Obscurium by Sugar Bytes, if you haven't already. It's pretty nuts
