I'm not a CS person, I'm a math and engineering person. I truly and honestly believe that it will be easier for me to start from scratch than to try to wrap my head around someone else's codebase. That being said, I mentioned starting with a code framework that would allow the creation of any kind of synth or sampler, not just the one I have in mind (which is inspired by the upcoming Omnisphere more than anything else). I may not be a CS guy, but I do understand the value of planning in advance. Nevertheless, anyone who quotes John Miles in his sig must be a cool person, so I'll certainly wait a bit for other ideas and advice before barreling off on my own.
