As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, you can
apply effects to
Specimen via jack-rack. However, since it only has
one pair of output
ports, using effects is a sub-optimal experience (to
put it nicely).
When each patch has it's own port, the situation
will be much better.
Will the design be for user definable ports?
I'm not familiar with Specimen and don't know how you
define a patch. Assuming that a patch is an instrument
and a drum kit could be eight instruments (one patch)
then the drum kit patch could be eight 1in/2out ports
for a total of 16. It isn't difficult to begin
exausting available ports.
In my mind a routing system similar to that in Ardour
would be interesting because the user can manage
physical and user defined ports in anyway that fits
their audio hardware and personal preferences.
I don't think having one master bus output to hardware
is ideal either because a user might want to process
the snare drum in a rackmount reverb that's connected
to a hardware mixer.
I don't really know what you're designing but thought
I'd make a few assumptions and toss a couple half
baked thoughts in your direction.
