One word of warning, Khagan hasn't been worked on in years and really
isn't any good. :) It was my first python app and the code is
horrible. Ingen's internal gui's are really everything you want as
far as control goes. It's much more useful to set up a good midi
binding than make a gui with lots of knobs. Much more usable. Ingen
really is very nice, i've made some very complex patches with it and
using the sub patches / etc you can present only the useful controls
to the user. It really is the way to go. I tried the other option, for
my drum synth project, Smack and found the gui irrelevant. I
originally wrote one in c and then did it using Khagan. Both are less
usable than the in built gui system in Ingen. Learn from my mistakes!
