Re: [LAD] Software sound

PS: So to provide a new electric instrument even nowadays not only a computer and a keyboard is needed. The virtual instrument might work on some distros and on other distros it might not work. It might work with some computers and sound cards and MIDI interfaces, but not work with other hardware. If somebody want's to provide the complete solution it's not just having a computer and keyboard. Even when a software developer just cares for the studio in the box and maintains it for several releases of just one distro, but does not care about using it with external gear, some algorithm (user friendly or not) might need much computer resources, could cause unwanted latency etc. pp. In the end building a synth by a circuit layout and some semiconductor could be easier to do, than to provide software with the guarantee that the software will do what it should do, since a wrong MIDI interface already could cause ground loops, assumed somebody want's to connect the virtual synth with what external gear ever. Making new sounds for a synth always needs a learning curve. A good GUI isn't the solution, if a user e.g. doesn't understand how a filter does work, the best GUI for a filter can't help. What ever synthesis is used, there is the need to have knowledge, no new synthesis will be a solution for this "issue". The only way are "workarounds" such as the vector control, or anything comparable to it. Computers can't solve higher-ranking issues caused by nature.
