hardware synthesisers.

[Shaun Oliver <shaun oliver optusnet com au>]

just on that,
could speech-dispatcher not be used as an interface for gnopernicus and 
the various synthesisers? as opposed to writing a complete driver subset 
for gnopernicus itself?
Mind you, that might be a major undertaking in itself.
in any event, hardware synth support would be a great plus and like 
janina said we're in the minority but, why throw the things away if we 
can still get good use out of them anywhere we can within our computing 
lives.
Another thing to consider is the fact that as stated earlier software 
speech is not always practicable.
I can't say any more without covering old ground other than that if 
hardware synthesiser manufacturers insist on making people sign 
non-disclosure agreements just for the technical specs on their product, 
we'll see alot of them paint themselves into a corner.
it is beyond me why companies do such things. oh well, that's my bitch 
for the day.
