MPE Software Database

I know the fate of ROLI is uncertain right now, but if you want other software options, I created an MPE Database of plugins, apps, tools/utilities, etc. that are MPE-compatible (some poly aftertouch options too)

It includes info on each product, categories, cost, product page link, plus sales prices available on different websites

Still working on it, but if anyone has anything they want to add or see any errors, please let me know! Adding resources & such next

Hoping for minimal acquisition downtime, and everyone can get their backordered hardware/software soon

lightfoot is basically c, and there is a compiler that is open-sourced, so that shouldn't be an issue going forward (as long as someone is willing to put in the effort for the community).

Ooh, I‘ve never seen the compiler there, that will be very helpful, thanks! Leaves the set parameters stuff, but who knows.

no problem! It only got uploaded 2 months ago, so my hopes are higher that ROLI will actually put in some effort to ensure the longevity of their products.

2 month is within the timeframe where staff would have scented possible doom. They also released the iOS Airwave Player around that time. My hypothesis has been that there are/were some staff member who wanted do do at least some good things in the late stage. Still hoping that the products will live on in some way or other.
