This I like. Is there any reason not to create DSSI modules with no
MIDI support?
I really think that's something you should support if not. I would
really like to use DSSI as super-LADSPA, "soft synth" be damned. A
sampler plugin would be #1 on my list.
-DR-
I really (really) would like to have a sample
module too, but you can't
do it with LADSPA, and I'm VERY hesitant to introduce another
program-specific module format (ala SSM, ams, etc.) The duplication of
effort there is awful.
I think maybe DSSI can provide this, but I'm not sure. It's definitely
on the agenda though, I'm looking in to it. I'd like the ability to
create drum synths, with sampled waveforms as well as synthesized (so
you could run a waveform through a filter controller by an envelope etc.
etc.). You could do it now by running say, specimen into a modular
synth, but that's just a nuisance.
Yes, DSSI can handle samplers - fluidsynth has been wrapped as a DSSI
plugin I think.
