It's starting to sound more like they're developing a military defence system against galactic invasions than a music making software... .............. http://www.exploitation.nl/impulsetracker3.asp "About 2.5 years ago I was talking to Jeff (*) about going commercial with Impulse Tracker 2 (It2.5 or it3). Anyway, he indicated he wasn't interested at the time and so eventually I ran into Lada Lostak (Ray) and the rest of the crew. Ray wanted to create the "perfect tracker" and had bought the rights to the IT3 name from Jeff. We had also recieved bits of IT2 source code as reference points. Anyway, I went to the Czech Republic to discuss IT3 with Ray, Axl, and PG. I agreed to fund the project and they would create the tracker. Ray hates throw away software development and so he chose to create IT3 on top of a component system he was building. This delayed IT3 (basically all the way up to the time of me writing this.) Now, during this time the rest of the team was creating the Layouts, UI, features and functions of the software. Thus, we should be able to quickly deploy the IT3 product within a few months, and the IT3 DSPaudio team is working on that. Now, About 6 months ago I became concerned that Ray's need for the perfect dev environment would delay IT3 several years more than it already had, and from my perspective a release of it might happen as late as 5 years." .............. ---> jab (*): Jeffrey Lim, the author of the original Impulse Tracker
