I really would love to hear some opinions about the ideas.. and i hope i can come up with a first version soon..
I think it's great! I think it's wonderfull that you pinpoint what you want, then set out to create it. I'd love to see, hear and perhaps try the results. I'd also love to hear about your experiences creating this and how it relates to how you make music.
Personally I think I would be preferable to have a big list of all the features people are looking for in these development platforms and see wether we can crystalise those down to some additions to the Mini Audicle, perhaps by having a few people add to it (obviously under Spencer's watchfull eye) because now we have a fair amount of these and it seems to me that the total amount of efford spend now is larger then it should be if there would be more cooperation and a more centralised discussion about what people want and why. This is easy for me to say since I don't speak C and so I'm not realy in a position to add to such a project but that's what it looks like for me.
Perhaps it's inevitable that some of this scattering happens since the idea behind ChucK faciliates a very personal way of dealing with music/sound/instruments and so there might be a need for very personal tools; this might also be a good and positive thing considdering the state of mainstream electronic instruments.
Just my perspective,
Kas.
