DSSI
The Disposable SoftSynth Interface, a “LADSPA for instruments” API from Chris Cannam, Sean Bolton, and Steve Harris.
Includes four example plugins:
- karplong
- trivial_sampler
- trivial_synth
- less_trivial_synth
An example of a DSSI plugin: Hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages (ALSA systems only), and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any previous open-source emulation (that the author is aware of….)
Dssi-VST The dssi-vst package contains a wrapper plugin for Windows VSTs that enables them to be used by DSSI hosts running on Linux or similar on i386, using Wine. dssi-vst was written by Chris Cannam.
