In time the GMPI initiative should comprehensively address this need, but the requirement for Linux applications to be able to support simple hosted synths is here now, and GMPI is not. This proposal (the "DSSI Soft Synth Interface" or DSSI, pronounced "dizzy") aims to provide a simple solution in a way that we hope will prove complete and compelling enough to support now, yet not so compelling as to supplant GMPI or any other comprehensive future proposal. For simplicity and familiarity, this API is based as far as possible on existing work -- the LADSPA plugin API for control values and audio processing, and the ALSA sequencer event types for MIDI event communication. The GUI part of the proposal is quite new, but may also be applicable retroactively to LADSPA plugins that do not otherwise support this synth interface. */ /* A program wishing to use the DSSI v2 API should set the following symbol to 2 before including this header. */ #if (!defined DSSI_API_LEVEL) #define DSSI_API_LEVEL 1 #endif typedef struct _DSSI_Program_Descriptor { /** Bank number for this program.
