Current state of kX project

PooshhMao · May 23, 2005, 10:09 AM

Hi,

I know I don't have any right to bitch about this, since all of the fabulous work
Eugene has done is entirely voluntary and unpaid.

I've been a kX user for a good few years now and I love it - it allows my consumer grade soundcard do tricks my 1500€-soundcard-owning-friend is jealous of.

I'll just say what everybody here is probably thinking - the rate of development is agonizingly slow. 3537 has been the official stable release for what - 2 years now? And installing the most recent version requires a hacky procedure, plugin packs are being held back by it, the remote control support hasn't advanced one bit.

There's SO much potential here, I've been patiently waiting for 24/96 ASIO for years now and it's been promised for just as long. We've been promised - sort of - to have 3538 final around new year. We're almost six months further now, still no news.

I realize kX is a large and ambitious project for just one person to maintain and I understood due to legal complications, opening up the source isn't an option.

I don't want to be ungrateful, I'm not. Eugene owes us nothing after all...
But please, throw the fans a bone here...

All vented out now.

Thanks for reading,

It's not that bad. It only takes a few minutes to install.

That's not entirely true. Eugene posted a few days ago. Looks like release 3538i is due to come out soon.

The 3538 final version will be released soon as well as the kx preset exchange system on which I am currently working.
