Now I wonder if anyone would be interested in making a graphical user
interface for Sonic Flow (SF)? We, the designers and so far the only users,
would be giving consultation in the use of SF and answering questions. The
technical details of simulating audio dataflow networks are hidden inside the
SF library, so it's just a matter of making the graphical interface, probably
using GTK.
Now that I'm starting to sound like as if I was a personnel manager,
it's time to say that the project is completely open source.
Here's the announcement again, for L-A-D people. Pardon me if you
have already read this.
