Pulsar 900 Series

[Cinebient]

You'd have even more enthusiasts for P900 if it were ported to Windows.


Why not subcontract the port, get another team member or something?

But maybe also more need for support, tons of different software and hardware configurations and piracy might kill it too?
An iOS port might make more sense even since the GUI is also heavy metal optimized.
Also users might still want windows 7 support and cpu´s which are 10 years old and stuff.
I can understand if that is a bit too much for a side project from an independent developer.

As if macOS platform isn't devoid of piracy, come on.

Also users might still want windows 7 support and cpu´s which are 10 years old and stuff.

Also not really a strong argument. If it works on W7, it will work on W8 and W10, it's as easy as that. CPU matter is solved by stating minimum requirements, that's again not a really good argument.

I can understand if that is a bit too much for a side project from an independent developer.

TAL is also one guy, independent, and look at the number of plugins he has (it's more than JUST ONE), that are cross-platform. Again, not a strong argument. pulsarmodular's biggest mistake was not starting the project with JUCE, IMHO. That would've gave him cross-platformness nearly for free (i.e. not as much additional work).

Maybe true but i´m sure you know what i mean. The problem could get much bigger.
I also remember (maybe i´m wrong and confuse it with another thing) that P900 was planned as iOS app but because of some trouble and also that Model 15 was released about the same time it was cancelled. And i think iOS and mac has more in common as windows and mac.
I might be wrong on this because sometimes my mind playing games with me
Of course in a perfect world every tools should run on every OS on every device if you ask me.

Maybe but JUCE cost something i think and from other developers i heard that it is not great for everything.
Also every developer makes his/her own thing and we don´t know exactly why some make crosslatform tools, some prefer iOS, some windows, some mac etc.
From some i know piracy killed them, from some i know they see a better market elsewhere anf for some it´s just a hobby and they don´t want to make it too big since that would involve a lot more support for something you son´t want to do as your main income.
In general i agree with you and i think P900 is a masterpiece (but also has a few little bugs and tings i miss) which should be everywhere.

There's plenty of cross-platform plugins using JUCE. So "not great for everything" is again a copout non-argument

He should perhaps get in touch with Arturia, and sell his development and code to them. They would likely jump at the chance of a major new version of the Moog Modular, with that kind of sound quality. Besides that, they could use his code for their other analog emulations. Then everyone wins.

Oh hell no.

Oh hell no.

Agree, hell NO.
I think it is in good hands and belongs there. Of course before it would die i would see the code elsewhere.
Maybe Apple would buy it

Oh hell no.

Oh hell yes. Arturia would likely dominate the market, at least take it away from Native Instruments.

Baaahh, the only i would trust would be U-he.

[EvilDragon]

Thankfully Patrick (TAL) seems content with doing his stuff on his own. Phew.

I guess that the only thing that is troublesome to port is all the GUI part. DSPwise I think that the port can be quite straightforward. That's why a multiplatform environment / library like JUCE is a great idea.

[EvilDragon]

Yes, dev said so himself, all the DSP is portable C/C++. Which makes the proposition that a port is unlikely such a bummer, hence my suggestion to subcontract the GUI porting...
