This doesn't seem desirable to me cos autoscan is a bit slow, even if we get autoscan working in parallel across all ports. And not all synths support autoscan anyway, so you do anticipate displaying the list of all supported synths and choosing one?
At the moment I find it a bit of a pain when creating a new patch that I always have to choose the synth then choose the sub-type of patch e.g. bank or single. If patches already exist within a library and the library is locked to one synth, then this should reduce that point of friction as we already know what kind of patch we would be creating which will be a nice benefit of locking libraries to synths. And while we might be creating loads of patches for a synth, we shouldn't be creating new libraries THAT often. So I could tolerate friction when creating a library more than the current friction when creating a patch. Still, if you have to navigate a big list of synths every time you create a library it might get annoying. Maybe there could be an autodetect scheme whereby you create a new library, then you have the option of either playing a note or moving a controller on the synth you want to use it for, then JSL detects the port and does an autoscan and hopefully only gets one response. However not all synths have keyboards or controller knobs so this would be flawed I guess... just some thoughts, frankie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
