it is however quite dangerous for a driver to do so. why? a better interface is a generic firmware loading API (or as generic as one can be made, anyway) with a userspace firmware loader. agreed. its a rather tricky design however, because on a lot of hardware, you have to defer most of the

hi... this is my first time online since lad Conference. so i would like to announce galan-0.2.14 (as seen on lad Conference) galan is another modular synthesizer. It supports sub patches like pd and jmax. But has separation of mesh and Controls. It also supports OpenGL Scene Graphs which can

why support the difference between ports and controls ? This is done in the C galan and tony somehow managed to remove this difference in the C++ galan. Because throughout all the XAP discussions we have made it clear that controls are event-driven and ports are audio-rate data (specifically

i know that. In galan it is the same. But why should this difference be so clearly stated in the API ? Can you show me a nice API that makes the two feel similar? Controls: multiple datatypes, receive events in time-order queues Ports: are assigned buffers (possibly datatyped) of arrays of
