This discussion leads me to ask a corollary question. Some kind of
MusicDevices will allow the user to build instruments and banks "on
the fly" (I think about soft sample players). The user may - will
-want to listen to the result in "real time" without first saving its
new program (instrument) then the instrument in a bank and the whole
thing in a preset and finally reload this preset in the host. When
working with a real (hardware) sample player, you can load, add,
remove, edit samples/instruments and hear the immediate result while
sounds are played. It would be nice if such a behavior was available
with any "AU compliant" host. Most of - if not all - this work is to
be done on the AU side, but as soon as a new instrument is created by
the user - by the mean of the AU custom UI - the host could reflect
this change in its own UI (eg the menu(s) to select instrument/midi
channel). Do you think that hosts should be required (or maybe we
could talk of hosts UI design guidelines) to listen to some
parameter/property to achieve that?
Yes, that would be very cool. I would definitely be a listener!
