The ld10k1 API provides a very thin layer between the DSP microcode and the ALSA mixer API, creating standard ALSA mixer objects on the fly for the control GPRs. ld10k1 currently just loads the DSP patches. The kX driver OTOH provides a pretty thin C++ wrapper around the DSP patches, which lets them have custom GUIs, load, unload, and generate microcode on the fly and control everything with midi. It can query the kernel part of the driver what hardware is available and load specific patches accordingly. > i'm also not quite sure what the deal with the dsp effects and filters > are though - i couldn't find any way to load them in the dsp routing > interface (like the ones included with the kxaudio drivers - maybe these > have to be installed seperately ... i should read more documentation > ...)? all i saw were the chorus and reverb fx busses ... Many of those plugins are free (some speech, some beer). There are also many free plugins (well patches anyway) available with the OSS driver, and floating around on the net from miscellaneous soures. It would be good if someone had time to assemble them all and figure out what works and what we can redistribute. Lee
