I have been thinking about something similar to be used in the nmedit project. A Modular Synthesizer GUI Framework. It would contain implementations of useful widgets and handle user interaction, like module placement, cable connections and module parameter settings. The framework would then be individually customized for each particular synthesizer and connected to the synthesizers backends. Unfortunately, I will not have the time to implement it, but I could contribute with ideas.

Hello.
I feel we should write a modular synth editor from scratch. I have checked many existing systems but none is good enough.
The editor would just be the editor. There would not be anything related to audio processing. Developers could use the editor in any project, audio or not.
The editor would handle GUIs such as in AlsaModularSynth, Arts, Galan, Gdam, Glame, NMEdit, PD, Quasimodo, SpiralSynthModular.
Also we should have an API and a script in the system.
I can set up a project folder to our ftp site, ftp.funet.fi, for resources (manuals and screenshots of existing systems, research papers). Coding should happen in some CVS site.
Any comments?
