When we get the new software Breakaway….(Wish List)..

Hi Leif,

I watched with great interest the video of the new Omnia 9, it’s going to set the bar very high for the others to follow, Congratulations.
I was also very interested to note that at least one of the new features may have been born from a conversation we had some 18 months ago, the MPX over IP.. http://www.claessonedwards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=699

The Undo feature sounds fantastic and the new MPX clipper is almost like magic and finally, at last, the legendary Leifcast is being released to the public. You have done a superb job, I only regret that as a mere pauper, I will probably never own one of these myself 🙁

Which brings me nicely to my main point, I know it’s been touched on in a roundabout way but I want to try to get some clarity over what features we might expect to see in the next iteration of BBP and which ones we might be left without.

Firstly, the 1st priority to all would be the MPX clipper but I understand that this really is the jewel in the crown as far as your work towards the Omnia 9 goes but in terms of performance gains and really unleashing the full potential of BBP, this is where it is..

Secondly, the MPX over network is a great feature which is obviously the fruition of the talk and work of the Breakaway STL we have discussed at length in the past, I would love to see this feature in BBP too, I also had to smugly take some credit for your comment about the "pirate version" and your reference to the comms authority raids, something which had not entered your thoughts until I pointed this out to you a while ago..

Then there is "Undo", what an absolutely brilliant idea, a game changer in itself and the real suprise of the whole unveil, we were expecting to see the MPX clipper, we were expecting new GUI/Framework and possibly the STL but this was a total curveball and completely unexpected and the results, even with the poor audio of the movie clip, the benefits of it can be clearly heard.

Finally, Leifcast, this would just complete the utopian package you could make available to us, maybe as a reward for our patience in awaiting the updates, you have no idea how hard it has been, especially as we have been teased/tormented with the audio clips of "Passive Aggressor"..

If you do feel that some of these features are of higher value than the $299 price point, maybe some of these could be purchased as add-ons or maybe you could produce a "Lite" version and a "Full" version at a higher price point for those of us who would like to use the full package.
This may not be a popular statement with all current users but I most certainly feel you are due some kind of reward for all of your efforts and that there should be a small fee for those upgrading from the "old" version to the new, maybe BBP ASIO users can step up for free to "Lite" and pay say $150 to get the "Full" package. Users of BBP (non-ASIO) maybe $100 for lite and $200 for "full".
I have only ever deployed non-ASIO versions to my clients so I would be paying the larger amount in all cases to upgrade and all of my clients would get this upgrade paid for by me as part of their service agreements.
Even though this is going to cost me quite a significant sum to upgrade all of my clients, I believe that it will be a significant upgrade and I am happy to provide them with this upgrade at my expense as I am sure I will get rewards back in repeat business and new clients coming forward, wanting to sound like my other clients..

You may ask why you should make these features available to us mere software users and I have the perfect quote for you, from a very wise man.. "Gewoon omdat het kan" 😉

Regards,

Yorkie.
