There has been a lot of mention of { dssi-vst } on LAU over the past 5 months. 01-07-2008 Chris Cannam posted 0.6 is now available. <------ http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ 01-07-2008 Hermann Meyer posted: <-------- that it ran fine on his debian/sid system and that it opens rosegarden for vst plugins. 01-23-2008 Ardour2.2 <------ is almost there. 01-26-2008 Post by Thorsten Wilms Jack syn manager proposal http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/01/26/jack-synthesizer-manager-proposal/ I believe cinelerra is already jack smart. I suppose that would mean that the clock keeper would be jack? Thus everthing that is a jack resident would be in sync to that clock? If Ubuntu Studio could pull this altogether it would be a blockbuster. However getting past the xrun problem that many users give up in despair may be the challenge. I do not know what kind of cpu and I/o loads this would cause especially if video is true HD and the audio is at a pro level. I suspect that set control {lights, event triggering, etc. } features would need to wait for a future release. Then getting a number of experts from the various disciplines together to pull this off.
