hi mimo,
are you thinking of something like buzz (or maybe max/msp) where audio
can be routed in a free-form network from sources (generators) to sink
(master output)? i'm a big fan of this idea.
the Preprocessor Level that lazily generates a set
optimised list of instructions for the audio io level
can you go into more detail on this point?
are you planning to use ladspa/dssi plugins as the machines?
i think it's a good idea to make something that can be relied on in a live gig.
