Re: [linux-audio-dev] Project: modular synth editor

Hallo, Dave Griffiths hat gesagt: // Dave Griffiths wrote: Pd will probably not stay with tk, and some of its ugliness is rooted in cross-platform thoughts (like using the Courier font everywhere). The jMax folks have been doing some cool stuff with Python recently in the effort to get rid of the dependency on the proprietary Java. I think this is a really neat approach. Regarding a common modular patch editor: although softsynths are relatives, there are various important differences between them. For example, the Max family is very dependent on character input: You create objects by creating a generic object and then giving it a name. Afterwards the objects stay just that: a word, and it can be treated like that (search/replace for example). This is very much different from traditional modular synths that follow a hardware emulation approach, like AlsaModularSynth or Reaktor. And then there are the modular synth languages, that have a GUI as optional interface, like Csound. Basically they don't need a patch editor besides Vim/Emacs. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
