I'm planning to build a special controller based on the Theremin, with MIDI and/or CV outs. All material released for free: schematics, software...
Yet, I was wondering if an built-in expander was needed in addition, for live use; or if it could simply rely on a computer (my use). Hence my idea to use a kinda port of PureData to DSP so that the user could get the same sound either from hardware or software means, just by dumping patches; instead of having to write a separate pure C/C++ DSP source code with specific non-compliant patches, [...]
I don't really see what your Theremin-style MIDI controller has to do with the synth. It's a MIDI controller, it's seperate from all that stuff by design.
I'd just write a program to do it. If you really think a nice little DSP box would be useful, do that later. You've got enough problems on your hands building the controller. One step at a time. ;)
