Re: [music-dsp] Creating new sound synthesis equipment

Hi Paula,

 

VST's GUIs are diffucult to handle and for me often frustrating to control with mice.

I think, VSTs are much liked, because they are free or easy to steal ( or used to be when they came up in the mid of the 1990tees.)

 

Another question: Were did you hear about MIDI V2?

 range really come into their own.

 The main advantage over softsynths (like VSTs, etc) is that musicians prefer a "tactile" surface rather than a keyboard/mouse when "playing". Though I know a lot of composers (including film composers) who prefer scoring using VSTs.

 I also agree that MIDI is now at a stage where it's not adequate to meet the demands of modern synths (VST, DSP, FPGA, or otherwise). Yes you can use NRPNs and Yes OSC exists, but noether of these are widely used. There are rumours about a MIDI V2, though I suspect that's a long way away from being ratified and set in stone.
