| In a Vertical integration, independently written software communicates with each other through plugins. This allows one to use say, a general sequencer, take [[apps:all:zynaddsubfx|zynaddsubfx]] for example, with a number of composition programs, such as [[apps:all:lmms|lmms]]. | In a Vertical integration, independently written software communicates with each other through plugins.

| In a Horizontal integration, you use essentially the equivalent to the UNIX pipe ( '|' ) for music. Pretend you had a midi keyboard. You can route the MIDI codes to an [[apps:categories:arpeggiators|arpeggiator]] and have that software output MIDI codes which can then route to a [[apps:categories:sequencers|sequencer]] which outputs not MIDI, but audio to a [[apps:categories:mixers|mixer]] which then muxes the audio together to a [[apps:daw_apps|daw]]. | In a Horizontal integration, you use essentially the equivalent to the UNIX pipe ( '|' ) for music.
