The most common use is one of "easy to learn / easy to remember." All other things being equal these are good things, but all things are rarely equal. Often the "easy to learn / easy to remember" benefits come at the cost of harder or more tedious to use (e.g. the "window dance" referred to above). I would rather have a well designed interface that was easy to use, albeit at the cost of a learning curve. I think that there are many dimensions to user-friendliness.

Would be keen to help out as alpha/beta tester if and when you start testing. Great to hear that you are involved in the Max6 development. Hope it goes well . . . Cheers MM TT3.2 Hi Tim

Ende August sind wir auf jeden Fall an einer Hipno-Lizenz interessiert - paypal ist ok PS: diesen kleinen Text kann man bestimmt auch ins Englische übersetzen merci u. Gr. TSt Timothy

Who do I throw money at to make it happen? :P Honestly I’d be pretty happy with VST, especially if I could use that (mildly janky) VST to RTAS converter package with it.

At some point it may be possible, but certainly not initially. If the AudioUnit release is a success, then it can help to finance the development of support for other formats and platforms such as VST. And, fortunately, Jamoma is very friendly :-).

Never could get excited about Live, hence M4L a bit of a non-starter for me, but I miss the Hell out of Pluggo. +1 for other plug formats, but I'm guessing RTAS at least will be problematic, and I'll be well chuffed just to be able to build AU's. Better make friends with Jamoma, then! This is good news indeed. Never could get excited about Live, hence M4L a bit of a non-starter for me, but I miss the Hell out of Pluggo.

My main DAW is Pro Tools - I can finagle VSTs to run in PT, but AU on PT seems to be a non starter, which is sads. Any plans to make a VST/RTAS version of plugtastic? Also, totally want in that sexy beta. Will this eventually be extended to do more than just AU plugins?

Jamoma DSP is open source and easily extendable (for C++ nerds), but the current set of objects available definitely offers more in the way of effects processing than instrument building.
