What's Coming?
About the Future
This page used to be called “roadmap”. Roadmaps can have many purposes: to create a guiding vision for future development, to give a vague impression of what we think might happen, to try to get you to buy something that doesn't exist yet. We don’t want to publish those kind of roadmaps. We have tried not to include things here that might happen, even if we think they’re important or could be useful.
If you’d like to contribute to the discussion about what should be in future versions of AudioMulch, please post to the feature requests forum.
We’re still catching our breath after the AudioMulch version 2.2 release, so plans for the next release are not yet fully crystallized. We'll post more information once the dust settles.
What we do know: the next major update will be version 2.3. The features we've already mentioned are listed below. Please feel free to post to the feature requests forum if you'd like to discuss what's coming.
At this stage the following features look likely to be scheduled for version 2.3:
- Extend MIDI mapping implementation (NRPN support, improved note message support)
- MIDI fader feedback
- Cut, copy and paste of rhythmic patterns in contraption editors
- Rework undo system, add undo for Metasurface edits
- 64 bit executables on Windows and Mac
There may be more, or we may aim for a short development iteration with just these changes.
We started on these items during the 2.2 development cycle and we'll continue working on them for 2.3:
- Improve GUI performance
- New contraptions
Right now we think these things are pretty important for the medium term, but no promises, we haven’t got to them yet:
- Improve multichannel audio input/output configuration
- Hot-plug audio device support
- Improve input/output level meters
- Import/export hardware settings or “hardware profiles”
- Multi-core audio processing support
