Why use DSSI?

1.  Synth authors
2.  Effects plugin authors
3.  Host authors

DSSI is an API for writing audio plugins with custom user interfaces. Although designed for synthesis plugins, it can also be used for effects. This document suggests a few reasons why you might want to consider using DSSI when writing synths or other plugins, or to consider adding DSSI support to a host application.

1.  Synth authors

If you're thinking of writing a synth, here are some reasons you might want to make it a DSSI plugin.

2.  Effects plugin authors

DSSI plugins do not have to be synths. DSSI is based on LADSPA 1.1, and is compatible with it. This makes for some interesting possibilities.

3.  Host authors

Here are some good reasons to consider adding DSSI support to your sequencer or other plugin host application.
