Hi all,
After the LAD Conference and using apps which used the lrdf taxoomy
(putting plugins into categories) code it became obvious the the current
taxonomy wasn't really useful.
the current taxnomy looks like:
Utilities
Generators
Oscillators
Simulators
Reverbs
Time
Delays
Phasers
Flangers
Chorus
Reverbs
Frequency
Measurement
Filters
Lowpass
Highpass
Bandpass
Combs
Allpass
EQs
Parametric
Multiband
Pitch shifters
Amplitude
Amplifiers
Waveshapers
Modulators
Distortions
Dynamics
Compressors
Expanders
Limiters
Gates
This makes a certian amount of sense from a theoretical point of view, but
isn't much use when you're trying to find a compressor.
So, we need to deine a taxonomy that is more useful to users.
I recon that something like this is a good start, but feedback would
really help:
Utilities
Generators
Oscillators
Delays
Phasers + Allpass
Flangers
Chorus
Reverbs
Filters
Lowpass
Highpass
Bandpass
Combs
EQs
Parametric
Multiband
Pitch shifters
Modulation
Distortion
Amp effects
Waveshapers
Dynamics
Compressors
Expanders
Limiters
Gates
Feel free to suggest changes to make it easier to use. I can drop in the
new taxonomy without changing any code. As soon as we decide on a new
structure I will distribute a new .rdfs file then you can just copy it
over the old one and try it out.
