For the out of process comms OSC seems like a good candidate. We've been using it for a new linux focused stopgap softsynth api (DSSI), and it seems to be working well, though its a bit early to tell really. There are 4 or 5 synths that use it. The mechanism is that the UI is lanuched with the URL of hte hosts OSC method root as an argument (eg. osc.udp://localhost:4444/foo/bar) and the UI then reigsters with the host (to tell it where it is) and the host can send messages to inform the UI of parameter changes + tell it to (un)hide etc., the UI can send parameter change messages to the host. The exact mechanism is documented if anyone cares, but it probably doesnt matter right now. - Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
