Hey, the broken-record technique works ;)
I believe that its possible to use RDF to express all the annotations
neccesary to make complex (DSP) modules from LADSPA. The UI issue is
unsolved though.
Er, actually several of the compaines make hardware that is interoperable,
including Doepfer. You can plug AS modules into a Doepfer frame for
example.
In ultra pedantic mode its generally 1v / octave. Historically there was
also 1.2, but its pretty mcuh died out.

problem of the
hosts not completly implementing everything that is
supported by ladspa (until recently, i didn't know about this rdf
thingy, for instance.)
that isn't actually part of LADSPA. its an example of the extreme ease
of adding wrappers and new layers to LADSPA precisely because it
represents the lowest common denominator for an audio plugin API. And if you
think of it, the situation with all those modular synth apps
the situation is no different to the one in the h/w world. i don't
hear anyone suggesting that doepfer should quit because moog is making
modular stuff again, or even that they should work together. there are
probably at least a half-dozen companies doing this today - should
they all sit down and work out how to make their stuff interoperable
beyond a 12V/octave standard?
