I've started working on the first; a big app that connects "things" using jack and alsa seq. Basically a big gui and control engine to do what people are doing atm with all the apps that fall under your second category. So far, all I have are a load of thoughts and a few tracer-bullet bits of code to poke around the various APIs. What I envision being the result of this is an app similar to Logic Audio's audio configuration screen where there are a number of mixer strips with all the synth/effects settings configurable from it. Each track would have an audio-producing object at the beginning (a midi softsynth, or at least something which takes midi and gives out audio) which can then get streamed into whatever audio-processing objects you like, and finally shoved out to whatever jack app you want to use for recording. >From a programmer's point of view, creating a soft-synth would be as simple as inheriting a class and defining a number of ports designated as control, midi or audio. The app takes care of the rest. MIDI sequencing is a distant aim, but there's a few decent sequencers already, so it should be possible to wrangle them into fulfilling that function for the moment. That's all I have to say about that. Bob -- Bob Ham: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pkl.net/~node/
