Was it csound, supercollider or chuck? > I guess you refer to Faust which can generate several formats and plugins http://faust.grame.fr/ There is also csLadspa which converts csound patches to Ladspa plugins. But actually you guys lost me a bit, what is so important about the plugin paradigma? The only benefit I can see is total recall but apart from it I see no use over using stand alone applications. The plugin idea comes from closed source environment which doesnt allow to make interapplication connection like you can do now and here with Jack and Alsamidi.
