43 There is a need for an API that supports hosted MIDI soft synths
44 with GUIs in Linux audio applications. In time the GMPI initiative
45 should comprehensively address this need, but the requirement for
46 Linux applications to be able to support simple hosted synths is
47 here now, and GMPI is not. This proposal (the "DSSI Soft Synth
48 Interface" or DSSI, pronounced "dizzy") aims to provide a simple
49 solution in a way that we hope will prove complete and compelling
50 enough to support now, yet not so compelling as to supplant GMPI or
51 any other comprehensive future proposal.
52
53 For simplicity and familiarity, this API is based as far as
54 possible on existing work -- the LADSPA plugin API for control
55 values and audio processing, and the ALSA sequencer event types for
56 MIDI event communication. The GUI part of the proposal is quite
57 new, but may also be applicable retroactively to LADSPA plugins
58 that do not otherwise support this synth interface.

93 * LADSPA_Plugin
94 *
95 * A DSSI synth plugin consists of a LADSPA plugin plus an
96 * additional framework for controlling program settings and
97 * transmitting MIDI events. A plugin must fully implement the
98 * LADSPA descriptor fields as well as the required LADSPA
99 * functions including instantiate() and (de)activate(). It
100 * should also implement run(), with the same behaviour as if
101 * run_synth() (below) were called with no synth events.
102 *
103 * In order to instantiate a synth the host calls the LADSPA
104 * instantiate function, passing in this LADSPA_Descriptor
105 * pointer. The returned LADSPA_Handle is used as the argument
106 * for the DSSI functions below as well as for the LADSPA ones.

110 /**
111 * configure()
112 *
113 * This member is a function pointer that sends a piece of
114 * configuration data to the plugin. The key argument specifies
115 * some aspect of the synth's configuration that is to be changed,
116 * and the value argument specifies a new value for it. A plugin
117 * that does not require this facility at all may set this member
118 * to NULL.
119 *
120 * This call is intended to set some session-scoped aspect of a
121 * plugin's behaviour, for example to tell the plugin to load
122 * sample data from a particular file. The plugin should act
123 * immediately on the request. The call should return NULL on
124 * success, or an error string that may be shown to the user. The
125 * host will free the returned value after use if it is non-NULL.
126 *
127 * Calls to configure() are not automated as timed events.
128 * Instead, a host should remember the last value associated with
129 * each key passed to configure() during a given session for a
130 * given plugin instance, and should call configure() with the
131 * correct value for each key the next time it instantiates the
132 * "same" plugin instance, for example on reloading a project in
133 * which the plugin was used before. Plugins should note that a
134 * host may typically instantiate a plugin multiple times with the
135 * same configuration values, and should share data between
136 * instances where practical.
137 *
138 * Calling configure() completely invalidates the program and bank
139 * information last obtained from the plugin.
140 *
141 * Reserved and special key prefixes
142 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
143 * The DSSI: prefix
144 * ----------------
145 * Configure keys starting with DSSI: are reserved for particular
146 * purposes documented in the DSSI specification. At the moment,
147 * there is one such key: DSSI:PROJECT_DIRECTORY. A host may call
148 * configure() passing this key and a directory path value. This
149 * indicates to the plugin and its UI that a directory at that
150 * path exists and may be used for project-local data. Plugins
151 * may wish to use the project directory as a fallback location
152 * when looking for other file data, or as a base for relative
153 * paths in other configuration values.
154 *
155 * The GLOBAL: prefix
156 * ------------------
157 * Configure keys starting with GLOBAL: may be used by the plugin
158 * and its UI for any purpose, but are treated specially by the
159 * host. When one of these keys is used in a configure OSC call
160 * from the plugin UI, the host makes the corresponding configure
161 * call (preserving the GLOBAL: prefix) not only to the target
162 * plugin but also to all other plugins in the same instance
163 * group, as well as their UIs. Note that if any instance
164 * returns non-NULL from configure to indicate error, the host
165 * may stop there (and the set of plugins on which configure has
166 * been called will thus depend on the host implementation).
167 * See also the configure OSC call documentation in RFC.txt.

285 * Note Events
286 * ~~~~~~~~~~~
287 * There are two minor requirements aimed at making the plugin
288 * writer's life as simple as possible:
289 *
290 * 1. A host must never send events of type SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTE.
291 * Notes should always be sent as separate SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTE_ON
292 * and NOTE_OFF events. A plugin should discard any one-point
293 * NOTE events it sees.
294 *
295 * 2. A host must not attempt to switch notes off by sending
296 * zero-velocity NOTE_ON events. It should always send true
297 * NOTE_OFFs. It is the host's responsibility to remap events in
298 * cases where an external MIDI source has sent it zero-velocity
299 * NOTE_ONs.
300 *
301 * Bank and Program Events
302 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
303 * Hosts must map MIDI Bank Select MSB and LSB (0 and 32)
304 * controllers and MIDI Program Change events onto the banks and
305 * programs specified by the plugin, using the DSSI select_program
306 * call. No host should ever deliver a program change or bank
307 * select controller to a plugin via run_synth.
