I see, which reminds me of another thing entirely. Will ChucK have some day<br>in the future a sufficiently powerful, cross-platform toolkit for<br>effortllessly building synth panels as in Reaktor?</blockquote><div><br>
I think the mini-audicle user-interface element thingies that are there on Mac right now and will be here for Win and Linux sometime soon-ish would come quite close to something like that? I'm not a 100% certain about what Reactor does and doesn't do there but I imagine that the more advanced and configurable it gets the less "effortless" it would be...

<br>heaven then, <grin>.</blockquote><div><br>Screen readers are aids for people with bad or no eyesight, right? That might be a interesting concept. It could be argued/ studied that programing languages as a musical interface might get around some of the limitations for visually impaired people caused by the recent developments in graphical interfaces. Might be a interesting point for Ge's research? Personally I'm very skeptical about the benefits of all those fancy graphics commercial synth programs for people with perfect sight as well; it seems to distract from the sound.
<br><br>Keyboard reading we have already, by the way, I'd say you are getting quite close to your heaven!<br><br> Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div></div>
