i do not understand. say i'm making a sw clone of the korg es-1
'rhythm production sampler'. i need to edit the samples somehow, and
then later apply some effects probably. what is the set of operations
that i would want an editor to perform on the sample? (i don't know a
better term than 'sample' here; perhaps i'll call it a clip.)
- read in from a file
- write to a file
and all the interface is provided by the waveform editor 'control' (to
use bonobo terminology). what is complicated about that? i could be
showing my ignorance here, but i sure would like to pull a waveform
editor in as a bonobo control. i don't understand, for this application,
your argument about 'similar' vs 'dissimilar'.
best regards,
wingo.
