AUStk uses a parameter to define instruments.
But mainly because, as far as a now, no host can use the MusicDevice
API.
I've started to code my first AU by coding only the MusicDevice API,
not the MIDIBase one and, suprise, no sound in Logic.
So, I've decided to learn writing AU by writing code I could test :-)
For current hosts, MusicDevices are nothing more than AudioEffects
without input channels.
Any other host writer here ?
In a project I started about one year ago, an audio/midi sequencer (and
suspended for now) I was using the basic midi API to feed soft synths.
2 reasons for this choice: 1- at that time, soft synths I could work
with were not available as AU but as stand alone apps visible as
virtual MIDI destination endpoints, 2- when reading standard MIDI
files, data naturally fits with the basic midi API. Nowadays, more and
more soft synths are available as AU and are required to support both
basic and extended API. That could change my mind when I resume this
project.
