Roadmap

Floe is an ongoing project that will have lots of backwards-compatible updates. We want to be able to release new features and improvements as soon as they’re ready.

• Finish VST3 and AU support
• Complete the GUI for adding multiple libraries to a single instance
• Recreate the presets infrastructure and GUI
• Comprehensive testing of all plugin formats in all DAWs and operating systems
• Prepare a couple of Floe sample libraries ready for release
• Ability to split layers to different ranges on the keyboard
• Implement pitchbend
• Macro parameters

Later down the line, we’re hoping to:

• Refresh the GUI: make it more consistent and performant, and refactor the code for easier expansion
• Support MPE, MIDI2 and polyphonic modulation
• Add more features to the Lua sample library format to allow for more complex instruments: legato, key-switches, drums, etc.

Even further down the line, we’re investigating ideas such as:

• Allow for creating custom GUIs ‘views’ using the library Lua API
• Adding wavetable oscillators/granular synthesis as an option to layer with sampled instruments
• Adding a more comprehensive modulation system
• Granular synthesis

Give us feedback on these using Github’s discussions section. FrozenPlain also have a Floe section on their forum.
