flexor 3 manual?

Will we see it at some point? I'd appreciate it, I find the documentation lacking a bit...

And how's the next generation flexor coming? Will it be vst only?

Thanks

There will never be a Flexor 3 manual. The devs have more important things to do than support their current software.

manual in pdf will be posted next week, until then you can use the help boxes on the modules they have the most important information.
i know there is no excuse for this...

Thankyou for getting a manual together, Red. I do appreciate this and am aware that you have lots of other critical stuff on your plate at the moment with various releases and wotnot.

excellent, I'm looking forward to study it!

I know you might not want to give too much details, but could we have a little hint as how's the planned flexor vst coming along?

Thanks

yeh crazy stuff going on...
scoring a film (complete orchestra) deadline is next sunday... havent finished all of scores yet.

FleXor Modular is coming along at a fast pace, in messe we gave a small peak into the working software :P
more substantial announcements are soon to follow.

the manual was actually ready, for a while, the formating is the real time consuming part, im just gonna crash on it next week after the recordings....

When Flex 3 was released nearly two years ago Adern claimed there would be a manual "soon." No manual. Red posted above there would be a manual by April 19th at the latest. No manual. The impression I get is that a manual for Flexor 3 on Scope is not a priority and never has been.

Despite being told repeatedly to click on help buttons or whatever, it would appear that many folks would love a manual for this product. I am one but have given up hoping for it. You know, an all in one reference to be perused leisurely without having to search for info in multiple places or load up modules just to get a clue.

No offence to Red or Adern. They make good software. But not good manuals. To leave purchasers of a £250 piece of software without an up to date manual for two years is extremely poor support. The day that Flexor VST comes out it will have an all singing and dancing manual, guaranteed. I'll probably be advised to go read that.

Yup, its late, but I still think it will be coming.

People can always kill some dead time by reading the Flexor 1.5 manual though, so they will have less to read up on on the (late, but probably) coming manual.

It would be great to have a huge help bible for Flexor but I guess even with that, we'll still point out the fact we need help using it :D

I dunno what wad made as a help file for, let's say, a Nord modular but I guess they detailed each module/parameters and proposed some use cases through their patches.
If so, that won't be of much more help to me than the tutorials presets we already have in flexor.

But when I think of it... I'd like to have it as well, just to be able to compile it into a full-text seach db here, with other products documentation 8) !

Talk about thorough. Great detailed explanations of each module, how it effects and modulates...I'm really impressed!

That was a lot of work.....WELL DONE!!! :)
