<insert obligatory GMPI joke here>
-dr
GMPI is quietly and successfully in use as the new native plugin format of
SynthEdit. I've so far written 70 plugins with it, and others are writing
more. SynthEdit's previous plugin format has about 1000 plugins available,
hopefully also will be ported to GMPI (aka SEM V3)... so GMPI can't really
be called vaporware any more.
From the KVR site:
"Like MIDI, GMPI will be
license free and royalty free."
"...and will cost you ~ $88 to acquire."
My addition.
midi.org is a kind of $$ machine, if you ask me.
They still sell midi 1.0 specifications - hard to believe.
20 years of income for 1 week of work ?

I really should open a specification store myself, looking at that.
Maybe LV2 was more successfull, if it would be sold for $88 - ha,ha.
FLOSS poeple - let's rather ignore GMPI as long as we can.
