Re: [LMMS-devel] LMMS file format

[Andy K. <sup...@gm...>]

Ah, I see. Why not make your synthesizer an LMMS plugin, and then you can
use it inside LMMS as a native instrument? Alternatively, LMMS will soon
support DSSI instruments (dssi.sourceforge.net) - if you made your
instrument compatible with this standard you could include it as a native
instrument. There are other links on that DSSI page to programs you could
use to test your instrument while this is underway.
