Yes. I believe double-precision is the standard
data type used by most
floating-pt processors. Single-precision floats must first be converted to
doubles at each computation, thus actually degrading performance slightly.

and other controllers using (yuck) MIDI for now. LADSPA
is interesting but
I do not see where it handles some of the issues of polyphonic voicing
and assignment control.
it doesn't. it was never meant to. attempts to create an API that did
do this led to discussions here (on LAD) about "XAP", but this has
just about all moved to the GMPI mailing list, where us LAD'ers get to
hang out and talk shop with the guys at Cakewalk, Adobe, FXpansion,
and several other companies who work on plugins and DAWs. devising
your own new API at this time is a bit like, err, err, i don't know
what its like but its like something.
Do not be discouraged by those that tell you that we
already did it and
why don't you use that. They are missing the point, aren't they! 8^)
not missing the point. i welcome any and all developers to LAD and to
LADSPA. but those who don't know and understand history are condemned
to repeat it, and the linux world is full of repeated false starts
while all the time promising projects cry out for more assistance to
flesh them out.
