Hello all,
Try to read all comments...
It is very important this. Tango it is a fantastic controller and if we had the
chance to go forward will some updates, let’s try it.
I have 3 Tango 2 working now with Pyramix 25th

Hi James,
That is encouraging. I'm excited.

Following on from Matt's comments ...
Putting the source code into an open source repository such as github or
similar really depends on who owns the code. Given that sharing the code is
legally allowed then that is something I could certainly assist with in
setting up. Open source projects can be a terrific way of getting this
moving.
I am friendly with the original inventor, I might even say good friends
actually, and have met the SmartAV developers quickly on a number of
occasions. I helped Stav write the requirements documents well before
SmartAV got involved. Whilst I'm sure that the system has well and truly
moved on since then (20 years ago!) I do feel I can be of assistance in
setting up an open source project that addresses some of Matt's comments.

Hi Chris
It's not unmanageable. In fact, it's very common to have multiple
developers working on the same code base simultaneously. The developers
need to follow an agreed set of processes, tools and steps but it's done
quite regularly. In fact, it's really important to enable multiple devs as
otherwise what happens when someone gets hit by a bus?

I think it would be unmanageable to have several people all tinkering away
on their own. I believe that there is an enormous amount of code which
would need to be coordinated, catering for both versions of the Tango,
although I do know that a lot of it is common to T1 and T2.
I would certainly be happy to pay for ongoing updates.

… which brings up a couple of questions in my opinion :
- if there are changes / enhancements made to the source code, shouldn’t
they be available to the whole community ? At least on a ‚own risk‘ base ?
- Shouldn’t the source code be available to everyone who thinks he/she
can use it for enhancements of their own Tango installation ?
- Wouldn’t it be great if we could do something like a ‚community
project' where programmers are willing to work on a certain part part to
fix problems or get the software to support current DAW functionalities ?
I don’t think this is a easy task and sure time consuming but might be of
value to a lot of us remaining Tango users.
Since I haven’t had the chance to look a the code, I cannot tell (for
myself) if it would be do-able.
AFAIR there once was a discussion about hiring a programmer to make the
Tango software up-to-date product that everyone having a Tango can use.
Maybe not for free, but we all like our Tangos and would like them to be
a tool for us as well in the future.
I know of other communities where a couple if the members are developing
soft- and hardware and make them available to everyone.
What do you guys think ?

Thank you Chris. I will do so.

Hi James,
Jan can be contacted at janmorgenstern.com.
I know he did some work on the source code for his Tango-2 which also
worked on my Tango-1.

Hi All
I have recently had a Tango fall in my lap and I'd like to have a look
at the source code if at all possible. I can see a few threads that
mention the code is being managed by Jan Morgenstern. Would it be
possible for someone to connect me with him please?
I have over 25 years experience as a c++ programmer working in
distributed environments and I am wondering if I can be of assistance
with the maintenance of the system.
James
