v.0

End goal: working and stable application that interprets UI inside csd file. And can work in several modes:

  • UI and csd
  • UI only for debug
  • csd only for csound by-pass

steps to complete:

  • add atomic examples for all UIs and see that they work and updated properly:

    • by user
    • by outside actions (change of the state)

  • create several classes for CsdProcessor:

    • CsdSynth - for Midi to Audio
    • CsdEffect - for Audio to Audio
    • CsdMidi - for Midi to Midi
    • CsdParse - for Audio to Midi

    derive them from CsdProcessor. make CsdProcessor to semi interface with processBuffer as virtual function

    define which type of Csd to use by Csound command line arguments: presence of dac or adc or M flags

  • Color modifiers:

    • color name
    • [modifier]-name, where modifier = [dark, darker, darkest, light, lighter, lightest]
    • interpolation: "color-1/color-2/percentage" - mix between colors

  • Custom palette configurable from inits

  • memory to persist some state:

    save:
  file: ...
  state: [var1, var2, var3]
  save-settings: bool

    should persist the vars between calls

  • presets:

    presets: [directory]

    presets are loaded from directories

  • UI to load presets (some menu)

  • UI for default settings set it in config wheather to show it and in which style (menu, separate tab)

  • Structure of the inits:

    • window size
    • title
    • memory
    • presets
    • ui-refresh-rate-hz
    • audio:
      • input
      • output
      • midi input
      • midi output

  • New widgets:

    • menu
    • modal menu
    • histogram / graph for array input (useful to show spectrum or audio)
    • histogra / graph for array output (useful to write spectrum or audio)
    • file input:
      • input files or tables:
      • as directory
      • as drag and drop field
    • file output to to show files as graphs
    • modal window to show alerts
    • centered knob with [-1, 1] range. Useful for pans (maybe also slider)

  • dot (button, toggle, group) - define with Drawable button (maybe use icons of circle: full and hollow)

  • background image, add it to board. any panel should be able to print background image

  • optionals for style properties with proper inheritance rules:

    • colors inherit from previous levels
    • secondary color if missing equals to primary color
    • properties of panels/groups:
      • background
      • background-image
      • border
    • pads should have modifier of weather inherit or not maybe special name

  • actions on widgets to modify appearance from Csound:

    • widget can have ref - unique name
    • widget listens for state change on the special channels: ref-name.property
    • possible properties:
      • active/disabled: bool
      • show/hide: bool
      • increment: int/float
      • toggle
      • click - on change
    • those properties become auxilliary UI-state. just use the same Model.State structure for updates

  • actions without value: useful for clicks and toggles

  • section in the update state:

    update:
 set: -- set value
 click: - trigger click on toggle or button
 increment: to increment on value (set also the wrap: [min, max] values)

  • shortcut for keyboard+down action, if modifier missing use always down

  • Docs on the application with description of

    • How it works
    • how to set different sections: ui, config, csound
    • how widgets work
    • widgets by type

  • all channels wildcard: [*]:

    • use all channels for csound if wild card is present
    • or save persisten all channels if wildcard is present

v.1

Goal of the release: make v.0 work as VST plugin

  • create build target as VST with possible config

  • VST config should support two modes:

    • VST-container for different types of CSD files (like Kontakt it can load synths of different types)
    • VST with fixed Csd file and only it's own set of presets
    • configs of UI-version

  • React properly on HOST audio settings and update settings in accord but preserve the type of the Csd (synth, effect, midi, parser)

  • Special UI settings for VST:

    • handle main CSD-change
    • preset change

v.2

Goal: gather feedback, make it stable

v.3

Goal: build for mobiles

  • make build of the app for android

v.4

Goal: build for mobiles (iOS)

  • make build of the app for iOS

v.5

Goal: VSTs for mobiles

  • make build of VSTs for mobile platforms
