Hi Tim!
A few words from a high verbosity synth maker with a few hundred too
many variables.
There is a way out! Yes really, and it is simple.
I propopse: "Virtual Simplified Synthesizers" (VSS?), where the essense
is the grouping of parameters together to produce something that is as
easy and productive as a "Polysix" or "Juno 6".
Looking at the hardware landscape, I see 8+1 sliders combined with 8
knobs is a common feature for midi controller keyboards. Some have more
and a few have slightly less.
The midi standard already have a variation on this theme geared at
adapting a fixed patch to some musical environment.
