Hmm. I have some misgivings about this. I actually very much like Yoshimi as a
complete package. Sometimes I think it would be nice to take out individual
parts, but mostly I like the way multiple voice engines/parts. I'm afraid some
of the magic pixie dust might escape if Yoshimi went too far down the modular
road :o
Much in line with my own thoughts. In the first half of 2010 Stephen Parry& I
did a whole bunch of work toward enabling yoshimi as a DSSI thingy. A bunch of
factors led me to abandon that effort. The merits of LV2 by comparison was one,
but the final light bulb moment came from a discussion on LAU or LAD loosely
concerning the conversion of standalone apps to plugins. Someone made a strong
point that in many cases you're better off leaving it as a standalone app, and
instead investing your effort into making it outstanding at what it does.
Personally, I think yoshimi sits in that category.
