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

214      * which the plugin was used before.  Plugins should note that a

222      * Reserved and special key prefixes
223      * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
224      * The DSSI: prefix
225      * ----------------
226      * Configure keys starting with DSSI: are reserved for particular
227      * purposes documented in the DSSI specification.  At the moment,
228      * there is one such key: DSSI:PROJECT_DIRECTORY.  A host may call
229      * configure() passing this key and a directory path value.  This
230      * indicates to the plugin and its UI that a directory at that
231      * path exists and may be used for project-local data.  Plugins
232      * may wish to use the project directory as a fallback location
233      * when looking for other file data, or as a base for relative
234      * paths in other configuration values.
235      *
236      * The GLOBAL: prefix
237      * ------------------
238      * Configure keys starting with GLOBAL: may be used by the plugin
239      * and its UI for any purpose, but are treated specially by the
240      * host.  When one of these keys is used in a configure OSC call
241      * from the plugin UI, the host makes the corresponding configure
242      * call (preserving the GLOBAL: prefix) not only to the target
243      * plugin but also to all other plugins in the same instance
244      * group, as well as their UIs.  Note that if any instance
245      * returns non-NULL from configure to indicate error, the host
246      * may stop there (and the set of plugins on which configure has
247      * been called will thus depend on the host implementation).
