Or am I wrong ? Well, I guess it would depend on how it's implemented. If the engine is set up to keep samples in memory as they stream from disk, this could be done with streaming samples. I would think this would be true for any looping of samples, that the looped portion(s) would have to stay in memory. > yes. and the user can write his own without needing to touch the core > engine.

Actually, one thing I really want to try would not need FFT in the engine (though I think FFT should be there anyway :). I call it "additive wavetable synthesis" which is already a misnomer since it would actually involve single-cycle loops rather than proper wavetables, but "additive single-cycle loop synthesis" just doesn't have the same ring to it. The idea would be to take recordings of an instrument, say a violin, and split it into several bands by frequency, with each of these samples being a single cycle. Then, based on an analysis of the articulations of a played violin, the different wavetables (again, for lack of a better term) would have a different envelope applied to them before being summed together. Of course, this analysis could be pre-done in pretty much any software that supports it. LS would then be playing back the samples, applying envelopes, and summing the results. I lifted this idea straight out of an article in the Csound book on synthesizing a French horn, actually, though in the article the partials for each wavetable were synthesized. See, CSound would be a great platform for prototyping if I could make it work. Anyway, that's enough rambling for now, but I hope it gives you an idea of what kind of capabilities I'm hoping for. -- Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
