Re: [iiwusynth-devel] Some wished improvements for better interoperability

[Peter Hanappe]

Hi Juan,

That's a good idea. Actually, I was thinking about that when Steve
Harris showed me more of Ardour and SpiralSynthModular some two months 
ago. It would be re ally nice to output the instruments
separately so you can mix them on the fly in Ardour or another
JACK client, add LADSPA effects etc...

I don't think it's hard to do but my free time has been very very
limited lately so I'm currently not making any progress on iiwusynth.
I hope that'll change though. It's definitely on my todo list.

BTW that was pretty interesting, the discussion you brought up on
linux-audio-dev about storing/restoring inter-application connections,
application states and other (meta-)data in a project. That would be
a great step forwards.

Best,
Peter
