That sounds mostly agreeable, and I think after this we should continue over on yoshimi-devel. The thing that worries me: invasive changes in the background followed by a big merge is what I figured could happen someday, but then it means Louis would have volunteered for some work which gets really used for only a short time-- unless of course during that time I get hit by some harsh difficulty (or a bus). The other thing that worries me is Alessandro's patch: I still expect to borrow his UI but having looked again, I'm afraid I must say that the underpinnings of it don't seem properly simple enough to base things on. Therefore it's not ideal for me & Louis to work on different things together and this topic is like a real-life imitation of a mutex. I had to speak up, precisely because I wouldn't want anyone to waste any more time on The Knot unless they were already fixing it. I'll keep working on a branch in any case-- I have enough reasons, and extra. However: the modifications to LFO, Envelope, Filter, etc. to make them smoothly track GUI control changes in realtime could be done now, more or less orthogonally to any deep modifications. Last week I pestered Will about that, too :) About phases-- definitely yes. I had something more specific to say but the phases have changed a bit while my so-called strategy is becoming one that can be done sooner and involves less overhead. Whatever I think I'm doing needs to be simpler than what I started to describe :P 'til later... -- Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
