Yes, more or
less. I was using instrument as in VSTi instrument, ie
an instance of a thing instantiated from a .so file. The word
plugin is far too overloaded.
Ok. (But VSTis can be multichanne/multipart, AFAIK.) The word "plugin", AFAIK, simply refers to
something you plug into an
application - it's not limited to DSP plugins or generators, and
doesn't even have to have anything to do with audio. It's just the
music industry that has hijacked the word. :-)
Sure, sure. But it has been hijacked, theres not much point trying to
un-hijack it.
