Hello! What is the road map for TX16Wx? Is it pretty much feature complete, or do you have plans for further improvement and features? What do you envision for TX16Wx over the next five years?

I'll take the silence as no comment. ;)

Mmmmh, maybe we should take a look at the excellent
TX16w and the sampler landscape from a distance:

Just like Akai and Roland, Yamaha also had a nice hardware
sampler - the Yamaha TX16w. With the “cwitec” project, “elcallio”
has essentially recreated this as software and even far exceeded
it. Today the TX16w is a stable, impressive sampler.

Overall, NI-Kontakt dominates the sample landscape today - and of
course most sound libraries are in this format. There are also all the
“small” samplers with their comparatively small worlds: EXS (Apple
Logic), Halion (Steinberg), countless small specialized samplers
and of course SFZ.

And the question arises: Where in this landscape does the TX16w
want to play? Stay as it is - as a small but beautiful niche - in memory
of Yamaha's former hardware counterpart? Or increase the
possibilities?

The TX16w can currently read SFZ and then converts it into its own
format. Anyone who has all of their samples in SFZ format on their
hard disc would not use the TX16w because it would unnecessarily
bloat the library with a new niche format.

On the other hand, if the TX16w can read and process SFZ,
without the conversion into its own format - and only the parameter
changes in the GUI would be saved as a preset in the DAW - then the
TX16w suddenly had many more users. It would then win a “new
world” for itself.

Well, that probably won't happen - I was just thinking out loud. :wink:

I was thinking to myself that TX16Wx is pretty much feature complete. So, I was curious what, if any, future plans might the software have. I'd still love to see Linux support, but the developer has made pretty clear his feelings about this, so I was curious what plans, if any, there might be for the future.

Is it really stable now.? ..I love this thing but over the years spent way too much time dealing with crashes. If it is stable ...I would gladly buy it all over again

1.) TX16Wx != SFZ player. The sound engine design is in parts fundamentally different. I could write a dedicated SFZ player, but there are loads of them. Some might even be usable.
2.) TX16Wx == continuous test bed for DSP experiments and features (some so sneaky you might have missed them). It will continue getting fun little things, and eventually maybe some big overhaul things.
3.) Linux version will come. Can't promise when, but eventually.

Just the idea that you are still involved!!! Bug fixes, keeping up with OS changes and making small improvements is more than enough for me. Thanks for all the years of development.
