5.1 Channel Dolby Digital Audio Editing Software under construction

This page is dedicated to my AudioEditing/Composing software "Sampletron". In short the following properties apply:
- reads nondecrypted ordinary .wav sampling files. Loop and tuning infomation of wav if stored separately.
- depending on the computer's power and core number Sampletron can be 16 to 80 voice polyphonic.
- native 5.1 channel handling with every sound stage.
- supports 1) wave-based voices. Voice is a lowest polyphonic one wav sample soundsource with full parametric editing (VCO, LFO, VCA, VCA1 etc.).
- supports 2) Expanded FM/PM synthesis with many extra morphable waveforms.
- supports 3) FFT (Fourier) soundsource modification.
- supports 4) keymaps which are like dense splitted instrument, e.g. piano sampled with lots of semitones.
- Sounds which are made be Voices can have upto 10 overlays, so one key note produces 10 Voices simultaneously. As to mention, best hard synthesizers produce 3 or 4 voices simultaneously (e.g. 3rdWave).
- for waves there is a loop tuning tool.
- three effects panels each with 2 delays, chorus, flanger and reverb (latter needs still improvement)
- 16 channel sequencer, with possibility to reapply saved audio into second pass sequencing if needed extreme polyphony (kind of layered DirectToDisk).
- everything including sequences are saved in open text form like:
voice {
 pszVoiceName = "AIRY-STRINGS";
 pszWaveFileName = "AIRY-STRINGS.wav";
 VCO {
  iLowNote = 12;
  iHighNote = 107;
  iOctave = -1;
  iSemiTune = 0;
  fFineTune = 0.000;
  fPitchBendRange = 2.00;
  fLFOModulate = 0.000;
  fPortamentoTime = 0.10;
  ...

I would strongly state that this has nothing to do with DAW's (DigitalAudioWorkstation) or VST's! For me, an individual from the stone age amongst Fairlight, PPG, Synclavier, Ensonic EPS16, Kurzweil K2500S etc, it feels bad to see the nowadays music tool development direction; far too many incompatible hard to use softwares and mostly unusable samples, which does not need user to sample themselves anymore - every thing is ready for the money and made secured that no-one can have access to the raw data.
Big companies just take the money from the users who are insecure with the plethora of choices.

My dream ideology was to make open audio (not open source code) solution where data (wavs, text form voices and sounds, text form sequences, text form settings etc.) could have been utilized in music making without having this file to Ableton, that file to Reaper etc. nightmare. Of cource if wanted some of the components can be crypted by musician, but still that would be usable in software although not revealing its secrets.

I made a quick survay, but I think my idea was not understood as a liberating and connecting and treated like non-understandable and kind of rejected.

Okay, some screenshots of the current development stage:
