Where would a Vocoder fit into this?

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.
