Hello Sascha!
   I'm not good at coding at all, but I think a more useable framework for a 
softsynth, if you like to build it with an existing one, might be bristol. 
Bristol is a synth emulator. It has a couple of synths already. But it might 
not suffer, having a new filter or different oscillator in it, if Nick is OK 
with that. The synths it emulates, are basically built from the components 
(filters, oscs, etc.), that are in the engine. Then they are connected in a 
particular way and get a GUI/CLI put on top of them. Bristol has, what I would 
call MIDI learning. You can easily assing MIDI controls to controls of the 
currently loaded synth and I think you can save them as well. Have a look at 
his site:
http://bristol.sf.net
   The sweet thing about using this would be, that you have to implement the 
new components and then there is an API - so I believe - for relatively easily 
constructing the connections and the <UIs. I know only of the textUI, which is 
very clever and helpful!
   Kindly yours
          julien
