With HaikuOS Xlibe compat thing we can use some stock X11 code directly in Haiku, nice!

Virtual Playing Orchestra is using sources under mixed licenses - some require you to credit the authors in your music or use a specific license for it.
VPO author suggests that your can use the instruments without attribution. You can't. That'd be in violation of the sample author's copyright.
Instead, use VSCO - these are clearly CC0 licensed instruments that are legally safe to use without violating anybody's rights.

@trummerschlunk @goaty except it not just a synth (generating sound) it can also be used for FX or sequencing
@klaatu @sprkwd@mas.to Would "Eurorack-style modular synthesizer toolkit" work too, or best to forget about the eurorack label?
I need opinions/suggested for Cardinal's short description.
Something like...
"A Eurorack-style virtual modular synthesis toolkit" or "modular synthesizer audio plugin"
don't like either of them tbh.
it's hard to make a nice and short description that describes it well enough.
Let me know if you got any suggestions you think are good.
Thanks!
@unfa why is "nothing will happen" not an option here? this is all bluffing IMO, pleasing dear investors. aka "it is not our fault that we are losing money, it is those damn europeans and their regulations!"

Do you use your real name on fedi? Boosts appreciated for reach. 
Perks of using mono-spaced in a text editor/field: you can make art 🦉 🐈
@openmastering Thanks, keep me posted.
A couple of Fundamental modules are easily replaceable, so we dont have to care about all of them.
I started documenting this in https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/wiki/Fundamental-replacements
What about a video player in your modular Rack?
Actually, this is me testing embedding external stuff into Cardinal, MPV just provides a great testcase for it. Plus it ends up being a little bit useful, so win-win.
@unfa huh both I guess, I think they have the same content, dont recall now...
@openmastering have some news!
but not exactly good news, just what we expected.
to quote Andrew:
> If changing Fundamental's visual design is what you want, perhaps it would be a good idea to take up their offer to design new ones from scratch.
We kinda want to change the design, for the dark mode. To quote him again:
> Unfortunately I can't provide license exceptions for Fundamental's visual design. You will have to determine whether what you do is a license violation
@unfa thanks. that patreon home page now going to be outdated with cardinal and ildaeil :)
I never asked, but opinions on that start/entry page are welcome.
Is it clear, showing what I do? Too long, too short?
More VST3 shenanigans.
Ask Steinberg "Can we create VST3 implementations for other languages and license that under the original VST3 SDK license?"
Summarizing their response:
"Oh, yeah, we didn't think of that, let's explicitly prohibit porting to different languages even though we can't legally prevent you from doing so."
What a nice way to deal with a plugin **standard**. 🐒 🐒 🐒
One more done, only MIDI-Map and MIDI-Gate to go, and the replacement of Rack core modules in Cardinal will be complete.
We are almost at the point where all license stuff is 100% clean, an a kinda "RC" status can de declared.
Soon soon.
