The Next Ten Years of Overtone
summary
Overtone now targets stability and modern Linux audio: JVM segfaults and onboarding rough edges are addressed, it adapts to PipeWire and runs its synthesis on the SuperCollider server. Development shows concrete momentum with five releases in the past year and an active wave of PRs, and a new pattern library (used in the demo) for sequencing and composition. The codebase is moving toward a 1.0-quality core, usability fixes are landed, and contributors are actively rebuilding missing pieces rather than just promising examples.
