@dezwo @scy Dude, open source firmware has become a major factor for hardware purchase decisions. My linnstrument is open source, my norms shield, my axoloti synths. The m8 was promised open source when I pulled the trigger, but the maker seems to be too lazy to release openly. Some of the major innovations in synth hardware were all open source (mutable instruments, for example). I am saving up for a deluge.

@dezwo @scy what I wanted to say, stability is more likely not an issue, because people who care have access to the code.

@tekknovator @scy I don't doubt that folks care. But forking and maintaining a proprietary code base is no small feat, so I was interested in @scy's experience (especially since he started the thread with an experience report or a crash and subsequent debugging). Anyhow, thanks for sharing your perspectives.

@dezwo @scy true. But from my experience this is a matter of patience and stuff gets fixed and stable. Whereas something like, ie. a Roland Fantom, just gets discontinued and never fixed or improved.
