Flowstone or Workaround?
sorry but I'm bored, because everything to make it work you must always work around.

It's not that bad. After switch from Synthmaker to Flowstone - Ruby is new fellow here, and it causes mixed feelings. Among other things - everything else seems to work either better or faster or more stable. But not everything requires ruby. A lot of things can be done without it, and to acceptable degree.

Regarding working around. Yes and no. If you create your own or find tools made by others (check synthamer forum, osm files can be loaded into flowstone), then you can have pretty well prepared. Then - specify your needs, ask what can be done and what not.

Sometimes, things impossible to do - are being made after some time. As an example - on synthmaker forums you will find great scope for slow preview (made by cyto), great filter designs (made and modified by Martin, MyCo and others), optimized sine design (which may require some work around, depending on your understanding of quality), even FFT tool for very precise measurements. But to make impossible things happen - learn to communicate with people.

If you know what tools you need, and have them or find them, then test your needs/expectations vs results you are getting from your apps. Sometimes high expectations are based on theory, not practice.

As a non-programmer - I'm creating pretty extensive and satisfactory projects. Sure, it takes some time to get used, but FS is a very friendly and easy to use environment, because it's so visual and so modular.

One thing FS is not doing yet for me. Coffee
I guess I need some phidgets

Nicely said !!!

thanks for the reply, but they are only words of bitterness in the mouth

Well - a lot of times I struggled too, had my toughts. Spending so much time, and getting (almost) nothing? A few hours more, in order to find out, that the whole thing did not worked at all (due to errors or environment limitations)? Most difficult - was to predict, whether time spent on some part - was not wasted. I even abandoned the development of my projects for a few months, because I reached certain threshold, and there were things I could not get to work. So I know what you are talking about. And yet - I was able to get results beyond my initial expectations.
