[linux-audio-dev] Kaiku..ku..kuu.kuuu...

Kaiku. It is unfinished. I'm stuck. A lot of help needed! Don't use seriously. Not all important controls are in GUI. http://www.funet.fi/~kouhia/kaiku20060418.tar.gz Kaiku is now GVerb plus multitap, but will improve to different structure which I have already designed. I will complete the reverb code if the problems will be fixed. (1) Need better GUI. Control envelopes on time-axis for a few features. GTK2 and/or OpenGL. We discussed about the great amount of callbacks used in my GTK code years ago but I did learn nothing ;-) (2) Preset system. XML files. (3) How to run a Jack application in an editor as a non-realtime plugin? (4) Kaiku should start as unconnected Jack application. Or connected to Alsa or Jack ports given as command line options. (5) My computer is only barely running Kaiku in realtime, and that after I reduced the multitap delay complexity. I have not taken speed-ups from LADSPA-GVerb. Uh oh. The code has unused old code as well. Some experimental GUI stuff. Ignore them. I only would like to have a Lexicon quality reverb. Designing and coding such a reverb is a huge task, and it won't help if I spend years with basic software engineering tasks which any Joe programmer could complete easily. My private Lexiclone has several algorithms of which only GVerb has been turned to open source within four years. I'm not a reverb designer or DSP engineer either, and I'm not sure do I want be one. I started figuring out the reverb business with zero DSP knowledge, and only because we did not have a quality reverb -- I wanted to change the situation. Could we collect $$$$$ of money and hire Dattorro or any other qualified effect guru to design quality open source effects for us? Blender was purchased for $100,000, right?
