Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] Anyone here ever used any other librarian programs?

[Rib R. <ri...@gm...>]

I haven't really used the librarian part much, but one of my goals
with the XML Editor is to make it easier to create editors that are
more like the "real" ones I've used.  I'm sure there's room for
improvement with the libraries too.  Being able to view all patches
for a single synth definitely sounds like a good idea.
