I think ArtsBuilder had this last time I used it - GUI
elements were
treated just like modules. Positioning them was a pain though, but
it's been about a year since I looked at it - things may have improved.
gAlan has a nice GUI builder (but on a seperate window) It much more usable
than aRts when I looked at it, IMHO.
I quite like the separation of the wiring (which
really only for initial
setting up) and the control (which is used when performing). I don't
like, for example, the way the Nord Modular does things, by having
wires/connections at the front: What if you slip and pull out a wire
instead of turning a knob during a performance? Same result as
tripping over a cable on stage: Oops!
True, but it would make controlling the patch much easier to navigate like
that - just everything would be much bigger :( I think some experimentation is
going to be neccesary.
