Audio interface ability

Feature Requests

This is much requested!

I can see the draw to want this. But-- we have this one in the “Maybe Someday” pile.

Here’s the reasoning for our hesitation:

  • It’s a bit off-topic (maybe even antithetical) to the purpose the MetaModule, which is to be a platform for making music on hardware, not on a computer

  • USB Audio is a complex feature requiring lots of testing for compatibility with various OS’s, as well as handling USB issues. Also there would need to be a lifetime of support as Apple, Microsoft and various Linux distros release new versions.

  • USB Audio interfaces are already products you can buy today, and I don’t have any ideas for improvements on those devices, so we’d just be re-inventing a wheel.

So, in short, it’s possible to do, but it’s taking away from adding more modules, improving the UI workflow, improving the plugin ecosystem, and all the other things that are what makes the MetaModule unique.
