Brief 5

As my original brief 5 is no longer happening, I've written up a new one quickly to get things going.

Brief 5 - Plugins/VST's etc.

Research and develop ideas around the creation of VST's (Virtual Studio Technology) in order to create a small series of plug-ins and other digital audio -related products.

Background

"VST plugins are generally run within a Digital Audio Workstation, providing the host application with additional functionality. Most VST plugins can be classified as either instruments (VSTi) or effects, although other categories exist. VST plugins generally provide a custom GUI, displaying controls similar to the physical switches and knobs on audio hardware. Some (often older) plugins rely on the host application for their UI." - nice one wikipedia. 

Mandatory Requirements

Obviously there is a large emphasis on research into creating very basic VST's. The Design side of it however will involve the creation of appropriate interaces and consequently the presentation of the finished products. 

Deliverables

A number of basic VST's, presented on a blog or maybe packaged as a bundle on CD. Something along these lines. An operation manual would also be useful.
