Robin might correct me if I'm wrong, but the
primary objective of him
creating Reasonable Synth shipped with A3 is that A3 used to produce
_no sound whatsoever_ when you tried to play back a .mid file in the
importing dialog.
Any MIDI track, actually (midi auditioning only came later).
And there had been no synths in the binary bundle
before either, AFAIK.
well yeah. The primary objective was to no longer answer the recurring
question "Why can I not hear MIDI?"
Even though the way we preempted that question won't make the user any
wiser about why s/he cannot hear MIDI, adding a synth was deemed the
most _reasonable_ reply :(
Moreover, not producing any sound by default from MIDI
data is exactly
the problem that Rosegarden specifically had to address in the _FAQ_
(not even actual features). And Qtractor doesn't make it a lot easier
either.
Don't you see what's wrong with this picture?
yes, using proprietary DAWs dumbs users down.
