Hello. Who of us are working on a modular synth GUI where user
grab&drag modules and connects them with cables? I'm myself
interested in the editor GUI development --- there already
are many modular audio engines, but not particularly good GUIs
(Quasimodo might be an exception if I remember correctly).
Below is a short list of modular synths. I'm still searching for
more. I will mail an updated list later, but at meanwhile you
could help me ;-)
Regards,
Juhana

supercollider James ???? ??? Yes
btw, "script GUI" is a bit of confusing term :)

I lost the original, but SyncModular is by "DrSync" and is UI only
(AFAIR).

Have a look at alsamodular.sf.net
It has ATM a modules + cables GUI, and we (Matthias Nagorni & me)
plan to include a scripting system somewhere in the not too distant
future.

Actually although I made some of the old buttons in Quasimodo I now
have come to dislike this kind of GUI and much prefer the free
organization that environments like Pd or jMax offer. So the term
"good GUI" is highly personal. Pd for example might not be good
looking but it has some features that are really unique, but a bit
hard to describe in words like "patch painted GUI elements" or
"swallowed, reusable see-through GUIs". Expecially the last feature
(called "graph on parent" in Pd lingo) is a wonderful invention
that all other modular synth authors need to copy. (Max/MSP
has a similar feature with its bpatcher)

Hi,
the project http://nmedit.sf.net tries to recreate the editor for Clavia Nord
Modular. The progress is slow but steady.
I had an idea that we should create a generic module canvas that could be
reused by other modular synthesizers. It would handle module visualization,
movement, interaction, cable connections, common widgets and so on. XML could
be used to configure the canvas for a particular modular synthesizer. Some
kind of event model would be used to hook up the canvas with the underlying
patch representation. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to specify or
implement such a canvas yet. I am not involved in the current GUI effort,
which is a direct implementation in java without the generic canvas abstraction.
As things look now, the architecture will evolve into a protocol backend and
a graphical editor frontend. This means that it will be possible to control
the synth through both a text interface and a GUI.

Cable GUIs are an anachronism to me, but it is hard to come up with
new versatile alternatives :)

the gui's changed quite a lot in cvs, but the modules and patching are the
same pretty much...
also check out galan : http://galan.sourceforge.net/ and ams
