Feature Request: Add Controllers

[zvikadror]

Hi - great plugin, but I enjoy it even more as a quick standalone practice host for midi keyboard and random sounds, also soundfont tester.
Is it possible to add the following:

1. Volume ( Midi or Output )
2. Reverb and Chorus
3. Modulation
4. Transposition (semitone + octave)
   Thank you!

thanks for your interest, but I'm no longer actively developing this. it's not really fun to develop; making cross-platform audio software is pretty horrible.
I don't maintain a development environment for building it. any year I revisit it generally requires an investment of a lot of time to get a development environment working again and jump through whatever new hoops Apple or Steinberg or JUCE have made, then the nightmare of trying to get it working on Windows and Linux again. except now ARM processors exist, so double all that work. and then have to make the VST2 crowd happy (which has annoying licensing constraints), and then have to either give Apple money for a dev license or find a way to ship the software without one.
I agree it's a nice soundfont tester.

I don't immediately know how to implement those and which of them are possible. requires digging around in the soundfont specs and in the fluidsynth APIs.
Probably all possible (although "modulation" is a bit nebulous. that could mean anything. there are already some modulation capabilities).
Volume might already be possible via the audio device settings.
Not sure if transposition exists as a capability in the soundfont spec or fluidsynth API; might need to be invented manually, which would entail some ugly state-handling.

Hi - thank you for your prompt response, I learned a lot from the requirements and about the capacity of this great project.
I will try to learn from the code and maybe start making changes and perhaps something of my own.
If there is indeed something cooking on my end, I'll make a pool request, but not anytime soon :)
Thanks again for the project and for making it open source! Cheers
