Tonescape and dreaming the future

Monz and all,

I really didn't want the tone (no pun intended) of that last post to
seem overly harsh, but it probably does, so I felt a small addendum
was in order.

I really do hope that, as some point in the future, you are able to
realize whatever dreams you have for Tonescape and any spinoffs that
may come from it. For anyone that doesn't know, I gave input to Monz
and Chris pretty much from the startup, and watched through most of
the development, testing as much as I could. I'm sorry that a good
number of issues I raised couldn't be dealt with, for whatever
reasons, and at some point the wheels came off.

There is still a solid core to the program, and I hope one day there
will be something available for people to use. For the right audience,
there isn't anything like it, so here's to the future.

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks Jon, much appreciated.

If worse comes to worst, and it looks like there
will never be any way for us to finish Tonescape
and/or reap any kind of income from it, i will
make a concerted effort to convince Chris that
we should migrate it to open source, as per the
suggestions by Aaron Krister Johnson. But we really
want to try to make it a commercial success first.
