Vesa has talked about increasing the size of the instrument windows for 2.0 and I think this is a good idea, see: http://linux-multimedia-studio-lmms.996328.n3.nabble.com/Going-forward-LMMS-2-0-tp10709p10728.html
Now, I speak having in mind what a developer working exclusively on an instrument and not on general LMMS means. I agree with what you mean about our current instruments, we may even overhaul and make them more significant, but even with the way they are today people are making a lot of great stuff: check lmms.io forum and LSP. Instead of creating even more instruments, having someone working on improving LMMS with sound processing knowledge would help much more, I know that I don't have this knowledge yet and we have a *lot* of work to do to improve it. See LV2 support for example: if we support it we'll have a world of instruments at our disposal, a simple search for "lv2 drum sampler" yields results of very high quality instruments: - http://drumkv1.sourceforge.net/drumkv1-index.html - http://openavproductions.com/fabla/ - http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/all/drmr_lv2_drums (extended hydrogen) I am not saying your argument is invalid, but that people already have invested a lot of work on LV2, LADSPA, DSSI and VSTs. Users will be able to have high-quality instruments regardless of if they're internal or not, given that we enable support. But a high performance, reliable, crash-free core is much better. Unfortunately, my DSP knowledge is not that great, so I focus on UI and fixing crashes for now. But hopefully I'll be able to overcome these limitations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
