Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] The addWidget(...) design

[Brian <br...@ov...>]

In the future, I would like to do a *much* more sophisticated cross 
breeder, including this kind of functionality. Two issues though: One is 
that a "Filter Envelope" would not be a name of a Param Model. An 
envelope widget is actually an editor for
many values, each with its own model / sender. You would not have a 
"Filter Envelope" ParamModel, but instead, a Filte Envelope Attack, 
Filter Envelope Decay, etc.
I think that even better than being able to name parameters by name to 
do a cross breed, it would be cool to highlight controls in an editor 
window. Anyway, this is long term stuff. I have some other ideas for the 
crossbreeder,
Right now its pretty stupid, but we can do a lot of interesting stuff 
with it by giving it some more smarts about the patches its combining.
