Are you saying there is a BeOS port of the Yamaha XG Soft Synth? I
don't know much about this softsynth, but from a few Google searches I
don't see a BeOS port.
Either way, for OpenBeOS we will need an open source softsynth with an
appropriate license and performance at least on par with the BeOS R5
softsynth. Since nothing like this currently exists, I'm writing it.
Right now I'm just focusing on General MIDI support (since that is what
the BeOS R5 softsynth supports), but in the future I'm not against
improving the softsynth to be competitive with the offerings available
on Windows. But for now we just need the basics.
I am open for suggestions though (both for the current and future
versions), so feel free to give them.
Ryan
