But what he is implementing with specimen could be made significantly more powerful and be useful to a larger number of people if he did join forces. But that applies to anyone. And maybe Benno or someone else on the Linux sampler team will fuse the code for specimen themselves seeing as it has most of the basic things they need already designed. A useful thing about a gtk2 interface coded with glade-2 is that with a simple change of a config option the files will be built in c or c++. > >>Assuming you have some spare time it would not take you very long to add >>the calls for each button and place that shell up for one of the main >>developers to make some changes to the backend. > > > You are drastically understating the complexity of what you are > suggesting Pete should do. > > I saw it happen with jamin and it worked very well. >>Then you will be >>transformed from "man working alone on small project which accomplishes >>some new things" to "part of professional team creating new project that >>amazes a whole sector of the professional audio world". > > > Patrick, please don't take this the wrong way, I'm really not trying > to be offensive, but you, as someone who doesn't code (please correct > me if I'm wrong) it seems a little strange for you to be handing out > this advice.

But I haven't written a lib yet so I'm not a guru. However Pete has implemented what I consider a very good basis for a gtk2 frontend for Linux Sampler. If I was to start on a front end for linux sampler I would take the .glade file from specimen and use that. However if Pete was interested then he could extend the backend functionality of specimen by giving it the power that Linux sampler makes available. Eric.
