a softstudio;
it's pretty far already and
the first public release is scheduled Q1/2003.
for Linux, obviously? ;-) First, I
don't understand why you want to design a "synth API". If you
want to play a note, why not instantiate a DSP network that does the job,
connect it to the main network (where system audio outs reside), run it
for a while and then destroy it? That is what events are in my system -
timed modifications to the DSP network.
because a standard API is needed for a dynamically loaded plugins!
LADSPA doesnt really cater for event-driven processes (synths) For a complete contrast, please look over
http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net/amp_plugin.h which i am still toying
with as a(nother) plugin api suitable for synths. I was hoping to wait
I like this better than the more complex proposal being worked on, except
that I don't much care for MIDI myself. But I also realize the need for
the event/channel/bay/voice monster because it is more efficient and
potentially doesn't require plugins to be instantiated while a song is
playing. I don't think one API can fit all sizes.
