Hello,
I would love to have a scripting engine on LS !
Recently i've been working hard to create a SFZ drum preset for live use,
and the hihat escpecially cannot be done as i want without scripting.
So i need to use either mididings or puredata to trigger special events
like "pedal is going down" or "pedal is going up" and do tricky sfz layouts
to achieve realistic player's sensation.
Having an embedded scripting in LS would be of great help here, and also
help in realtime treatment of these events.
I have no preference for a language, but definately interested !
