[linux-audio-dev] Terminology / sampler architecture

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi all!

Besides widgte-level gui standards another topic for 
general usability is terminology. Naming of concepts 
like sessions, banks, presets, patches and so on.

I expect quite some resistance about renaming stuff 
in existing apps, but a guideline would still be a
good thing for future developments and minimizing 
confusion.

So I would like to hear of personal preferences  
and known differences in naming on existing apps.


Of special interest to me is naming and structure of 
the different organizational levels of samplers.

And a specific questions: what is thought to be the 
best approach to allow both having multiple samples 
with greatly varying setups of filters/amps/etc 
(drumkits) and multiple samples for chromatic 
instruments with smooth changes of filter/amp/etc 
settings?


Thanks in advance for any input!
