WHY?

May 2001

• LAD discusses need for high-bandwidth, low-latency, sample synchronized data exchange between applications.

Sample Scenario

• multitrack editor/sequencer
• modular software synthesizer
• drum machine
• MIDI pattern sequencer

Each one works, but how can we connect them together? You can't, at least not reliably.

Another Motivation

Many potential LADSPA plugins require complex, dedicated GUIs, which LADPSA does not support (see SooperLooper or Hermes).
