I am (yes I admit it) looking for a way to play soundfont intruments within PD.
I couldn't find any mention in the list archives, so I assume this there is as of yet not an extern to do this.
It looks to me like it should be pretty easy to make a PD extern based on iiwu for this. There is already source code a jMax version of iiwu, and using that as a guide, it seems like it wouldn't be a major project to do the same for PD. In fact, I might do it myself, but first I want to make sure that there isn't already an iiwu extern for PD that I'm not aware, nor any other soundfont-player extern.
Indidently, I notice that on the iiwu to-do list is a LAPSDA version, and I'm curious about how this could work, given the LAPSDA architecture of only accepting control inputs which presumbably are sampled at the host's audio scan rate. I guess what I am asking, is how you would make a LAPSDA midi-synth plugin - what would the intputs be? Control inputs for both midi key and velocity perhaps? Doesn't seem like that's in the spirit of what LAPSDA is intended to do? How would you trigger simultaneous note-on's for example? Oops, getting off topic here.

I did'nt try it, but MuSE has incorporated iiwu as a VST-like synth instrument. If I understand correctly, MuSE uses LADSPA for the audio-connection to iiwu and an ALSA sequencer port (extablished with aconnect) for control messages.

Yep, I have MUSE installed actually, and took a look at the iiwu implementation. It seems that it would be easier to start with the jMAX iiwu sources. In fact, I'm working on it now.
Thanks.
