We (XAP folk) had previously
described it like this:
....... The plugin notifies the host
that VVID(v) is now in state VVID_DONE.
Hi,
This is *far* too complicated. Any system requiring the plugin send
info back upsteam is flawed.
Why doesn't MIDI send info 'back' up the MIDI cable?
There's no need, because note-ids are truely abstract. The *synth*
manages physical voice allocation.
GIMPI should be the same.
What is the mistake in the following *super* simple VVID allocation scheme?
KEYBOARD controllers:
Assign each key a unique voice ID.
- uses a finite number of voice-IDs
- Host has no active role in physical voice allocation.
- voice ID's are only re-used to play the same note a second (or third)
time, never to play an unrelated note.
GUITAR controllers
Assign each string a voice ID.
- uses a finite number of voice-IDs.
- Playing a new note on an already-sounding voice (string) cuts-off that
previous note (just like a real stringed instrument)
Wind controllers
Assign voice-ID zero to the device. All notes use voice-ID = 0.
- uses a finite number of Voice-IDs
- intrument plays correctly in mono.

Jeff
