i've said many times before: i don't believe
that "the desktop" is
something that developers of "music" apps should concern themselves
with. [...]
i think we should focus on writing good applications that are
independent of what a "desktop" does.
Yes. It is more useful to think of real time CHI (computer human
interaction) and not real time CHI.
I play my keyboard and the computer makes a sound. This is real time
CHI.
My video monitor displays level meters for the audio interface hardware.
This is real time CHI.
I change the settings on my synthesis program so that the keyboard
causes different sounds in performance. This might be not real time CHI.
In general, you will find that the more you move into real time CHI, the
more robust your audio synthesis/production system will be.
