I have a
couple of algorithms I would like to turn
into a softsynth.
I want the synth to be alsaseq->synth->jack .
And I want it to have a couple of GUI knobs.
...
I would really like to escape dealing with basic
functionality
which has been implemented tens of times in the existing
softsynths, but want to concentrate on the algorithms themselves.
Well, why not extend some of the existing softsynths? That's what I
do: Because I'm too lazy to write gui code I write Pd externals. The
GUI part can be quickly done inside Pd (and every other user could do
their own). jMax or SSM also come to mind
and of course it is also
possible to directly write a LADSPA plugin and load that in one of
.those softsynths.
Does LADSPA support alsaseq MIDI input?

Hi,
They can, the softsynths that are internal to MusE work that way.

Heh :) two different answers :)

So what do you guys think?
Does LAD community need an SDK for rapid development of
out of process, aseq-to-jack, (plus ladcca ?) synths?
Or are there some reasons why this idea is inpractical?

No, each LADSPA plugin could only be one voice, youd have to write a
wrapper to hand voice allocation and MIDI handling.

I can't remember the beginning of this thread, though gut feeling is that
there are already quite a few projects in this vein.
If you truly want to do rapid synth development you should construct synths in
Pd or Max, or even one of the modular synths, e.g. galan, ssm, ams + probably
several others, Supercollider comes to mind since it was recently mentioned
here.
But, if you don't find what you "need" in the current flora of projects, you
are welcome to try, it's your own free time :)

Well, I guess they are the same but from two different angles.
MusE's softsynths could be discribed as the wrapper Steve mentions.

Hallo,
nikodimka hat gesagt: // nikodimka wrote:
I don't quite see why you want or what you mean with "a single
executable". For example Pd is a single executable. It only loads and
runs the objects one uses in a certain patch. If the small Tk GUI of
Pd really is too much for a machine then it is possible to run without
it.
For a compiled language SFront might be used, where in the end the
synth description is actually compiled with a C compiler into a synth.
ciao

Its only a half of solution.
Can I "compile" or "render" the resulting engine into single
executable?
I feel pretty uncomfortable when instead of using a small
self-contained synth I have to load its guts into editing
environment.
