[Traverso-devel] Re: Traverso-Routing etc

[Peter Hoppe]

Sounds good to me! What I meant was that it may be possible to use an LV2 
plugin as a bridge to CLAM, i.e. that plugin
would do all the interfacing with Traverso. Theoretically it would then be 
possible to connect Traverso and CLAM without
changing a single line of code in Traverso.

This would actually be quite elegant! All that would be required (to make 
Traverso work together with CLAM) would be to

* Write the plugin
* Offer it for download
* Users then would enable CLAM integration by copying the plugin to the place 
where traverso plugins are kept (Could be
done via installer software).


Of course, I do not even know whether my idea is correct - as I said earlier, 
my knowledge of LV2 plugins is quite
limited. It's just that word 'plugin' which triggered my imagination. Maybe, 
Traverso does need to be adjusted to work
with CLAM. But it would be really smart, if such a plugin can do all the 
integration without anybody having to change a
single line of code in Traverso.

Just my -2 c of opinion.
