[Linuxsampler-devel] GUI stuff

[Florian B. <fl...@ar...>]

Hi,

just want to add some words to the GUI stuff (though I know this is no
current topic :-) ).

Well, I have used Halion for some commercial productions, and I really
do not like it. It leaves the impression of some quick hack. :-) And I
do not think the GUI is a good one - the only thing I liked about it
was the drag=B4n=B4drop of samples into the Halion window. But after all
this one should not be an example of a "functional" tool. That=B4s why
I=B4m here, guys ;-).

Only if it doesn=B4t mean to copy their weaknesses. By the way, I think
that too many GPL apps simply copy the screwed interfaces of commercial
tools, but that is another story...

I think this is the best way to go.=20
