/DSP/

can you give some examples of ways you have more functionality? I don't really think they are garbage, but I know very little about it.

Does anyone with knowledge have ideas for better synth defs?

why is this topic so unpopular???

Does this include FamiTracker?

if it will get people to keep these threads alive sure. I might install it if we end up talking about it and there are fun ideas. I use Renoise myself but right now I'm trying to get going with Supercolllider. I know how to make a synth def and play it in a pattern but I haven't figured out how to design better and more useful synth defs.

If I keep posting these threads I wonder if they will take off?

Turn down the voltage before you connect it to your mixer. Only turn it up to a reasonable level and you should be fine. Probably your mixer won't get fried regardless. Whatever your mixer outputs to might get fried though.

Garbage may have been an overstatement. The issue I have with them for me is that all have one or more of the following: very limited RTPCs (if they exist at all), low performance characteristics, limited portability and usage, old/outdated documentation, the inability to alter the audio processing graph at runtime, lack of direct control, or poor models for thinking about audio processing. I find, for example, that CSound is incredibly unintuitive for a lot of things which should be easy, and that PD makes an arbitrary distinction between control rate and audio rate for changing parameters. Users should be able to control the rate at which ANY parameter updates.

It would be extremely painful.

interesting. Have you looked at Supercollider? I don't know if it's what you mean by RTPC but it does shit in real time
