I haven't checked specifically but we do have several different protocols for mpe and other polyphonic instruments, would it not warrant an entire section dedicated to tutorials on the various programming languages involved?
You would have one for the eagen one for midi, one for the eigenharp since it uses its own, then there is pure data since a lot of poly expression seems to use pure data, there's python, jave, glover and leap.
A major undertaking, really an expansion of this forum all together, not sure whom all is involved in this one, but addition of an all in one solution relating to your new electronic music instrument would definitely be a major boost to traffic.
I use leap and glover and immersive audio. You could literally starve a microorganism on the number of useful resources for most of it. There for all practical purposes just isn't anywhere to go to own more than basics.
That doesn't hold true for all but the ones it doesn't still lack for the specific information on usually seeking with no effective way to speak to knowledgeable people. Thus if this forum expanded to cover the entire spectrum of hardware, software and programming and yes immersive (sorry but the new instruments and immersive seem like separate areas of interest but I can almost guarantee that anyone interested in modern equipment has an interest in fully immersive audio so a small subsection for that will garner interest I'd warrant.)
include a category for troubleshooting integration with daws and this would become the most useful forum for polyphonic musicians
however that is a massive butt load of work and really only worth it if there are enough resources and the forum owners wish to become a major resource for a quickly growing demographic as that would be a full time job lol.
Some forums wish to go large and some are just love-children and one should never do what they are most passionate about to make a living because then your passion becomes work and can ruin the joy of it.
Doesn't happen to everyone but the danger is there. So a love -child forum is different for those that are hip to that little piece of wisdom nobody ever gives you growing up lol. So some folk are more or less content with a small forum that gives them the ability to enjoy community in an increasingly isolated world.
I have a small suspicion that this community is precisely that kind of thing yes technobear? However maybe the community itself would get behind it as we are all forerunners now, we have the opportunity to write the book rather than read the book......
A programming section however would require a fairly knowledgeable monitor or what have you, gotta have your guru or two to make sure when someone drops in seeking a solution to a difficult question that they walk away with a useful answer so that when speaking with others you are the first name on the tongue as far as where to go for solutions.
I know software wise audiosex is the first stop before even the manufacturer because they have information related to practices that most proprietary software companies take exception to, but with new stuff it more often than not require one to violate proprietary terms of agreement,
I remember a video game came out that the only way you could play it was too late it legit copy in hand or not. Heck some software even if you have legit the pirates version actually works better because they can fix programming defects without bureaucracy
Not advocating and officially I should grown on piracy, but that's beside the point, point is that resource is usually where I go for information regarding audio software because it is thorough and more often than not relevant over even the manufacturer. It has the gurus you can speak to and is most likely a moneymaker, however there is no free lunch and it takes many to monitor such a forum
