both the videos have been removed now it seems

Or the cool velocity offset from the main page in os1. Amazing for acid as you can vary the accents live... But hes not like the modern programmers, all online and looking for feedback, he kind of lives in his own world it seems.
I got my 1k after 03 was released so jumped straight into 3 so havent got much experience with that. Every time i try it it always feels like loads is missing. But i use MIDI all the time and everyone says 02 is far better for that. If the projects were compatible with both it woudnt be so bad but you need to kind of commit to one.
Again, I really dont want to criticise in any way, what hes done with what would otherwise be pretty obsolete technology is amazing. its just like you say frustrating when with a few tweaks we could have perfection...
Cheers
From my understanding, source code of OS(2)XL isn't entirely available (or editable bc of old tech or something) and is already using all the memory, so besides the few bug fixes he had to do OS3 to do new things at some point.
Regarding the dev process, yea he's really doing it from his bubble but the language barrier is pretty steep. Very few Japanese understand english, especially when it comes to technical stuff. I mean, look at the manual you get a good idea about the struggle
But it doesn't take away one bit of his legendary "Japanese Jenius". Thought, It'd be great if someone fluent in both english and japanese could assist him in his spare time so the community can get in touch with him. Maybe with a Q&A to start with.
