Dave, do you think there is a place for a softsynth that would be
modular but with a fixed set of modules, everyhing controlled from
one window, no patch cables, only 'hardware controls' such as
sliders and switches, each one assignable to MIDI, and of course
uncompromising audio quality ?
In other words a synth that would be easy to use and optimised for
'live' work, sort of a MiniMoog on steroids ? Polyphonic of course but
not multi-timbral - just start two or three of them if you need that.
Sure, the more the merrier. :)
But perhaps Nick Dowell's amSynth already comes close to your suggested
design ? Its GUI certainly got spiffier recently. :)
Current Csound5 is also capable of such designs, examples are already
available with FLTK interfaces, but of course you must know how to
program Csound.
A question for Frank: Can Pd's wiring be made invisible for a finished
patched ? Even with subpatching I get some real rat's nests onscreen.
Best,
