[Spiralmodular-devel] Hello

[Nicholas A. G. <ng...@ui...>]

Sorry to bother you guys, but I was just wondering if the mailing list has 
been down for a month or if this program is still actively maintained, I 
really like it and would like to work on it, but it would feel sort of 
pointless if people just didn't care about it anymore.  

Thanks

Drew

Nope, just really quiet.

It certainly is, we're quite a small team, and if just a couple of us
go quiet - it goes REALLY quiet.

I'm busy on other projects at the moment, but in a couple of weeks I'm
hoping to be back - finishing off new menus - and adding plugins.

Great stuff, the more the better. What are your "areas of speciality"

We care! We really do! It's decidedly pointy!

Well, It's really good to know that.  I would love to help out anyway I can, 
especially with some annoying midi trigger events I have been having, has 
anybody else experienced this?  Thanks for responding.

Any work on the MIDI parts of SSM would be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested there are a few MIDI related bugs and
feature-requests on the SourceForge project page.

Midi bugs are probably quite common, due to the fact we relatively
recently upgraded the midi system to use alsa, and there are probably
missing features... any help in this area would be very cool - it's
quite a nice self contained bit of code too.

It's possibly controversial, but I would vote to getting rid of the OSS
compatibility midi code - should make it all much simpler.

My thought on this is NO. because of non linux systems, what then.
instead what I want to do is the same thing I want to for audio - a MIDI
Driver framework. Obviously I have had no time to finish that up so it
may be awhile yet but nevertheless abstracting the OSS and ALSA into
seperate "drivers" plugins and a single midi plugin which could load
them would resolve this problem. That way we would have effectively two
always builtin generic plugins for Sound and Midi. Without ever needing
the program to know anything about either, or complicating code with
lots of ifdef's.
