Hey all, I'm aslking for your help. The requirements doc is a draft, still.
Here is my TODO list and some thoughts.
1) Fix all the FIXMEs. All that is in red in that doc needs to be decided
before I can consider it done.
2) Are we missing requirements? Think hard people. I know there are things
that we have talked about that people want to see in GMPI that are not
covered in this doc.
(digging through old emails)
- We bookmarked a whole discussion on event queues and routing
- Do we need to build something in so we can add audio-rate controls later?
- Do we need language about spontaneus parameter changes being announced?
- The XMF folk were leaning on me hard to get a standardized GMPI file
format for broadcasts
- How about pitch issues (this was a big debate for XAP)
- how do we identify which note was turned on for an instrument?
- is GMPI 12tET, or can we do microtonal stuff?
- Do we need more text about the VVIDs concept? XAP people?
- Are numeric (int/float/enum) parameters hard ranges or suggested ranges?
- do we need to provide some way to allow soft-ranges?
- There was an email discussion on latent plugins hinting that they should
receive their events early
- There was a discussion about DSP cards with audio latency, but no control
latency.
- There was a discussion about a lock/unlock or start/end command pair to
indicate a parameter change was released (like mouse down/up)
- A string param that is a filename might need metadata to indicate the
search mask (*.wav, etc.) or whether the associated file is part of the
project (so the host can bundle up associated files automatically). Maybe
filename needs to be a fundamental parameter datatype?
- Maybe add a note about the fact that a numeric param may be linear or log?
