[Protux-devel] New architeture first draft.

[Luciano Domenico Giordana]

In java migration, I plan to create a more plugable architeture for
protux. In this sense , there will be many "pieces" that together makes
the full desktop protux.

1 - The Protux Core , where you plug stuff. Alone, it doesnt do too much
2 - The Output Core, with some variants of mixers, some full , for
desktop , and some other light, for mobile devices, so you can run
protux on a Java base cell phone, for example, or use a plugable MIDI
Outuput engine attached on the output core, to edit and sequence MIDI.
3 - The Input Core. This way, a radical change will come : JMB will be
the main Input engine, but there might be a simple context-menu input
engine, since in mobile devices you dont have a keyboard to use JMB
4 - The Presentation Core , also with variants. The full, the minimum,
the fun, the 3D-eye-candy, and the light, also for mobile devices and
online-usage
5 - The Project Management Core - Not too clear for me yet..

This way, Protux will become sort of a framework with many possible
configurations. It will be possible to run protux directly in a web
site or in a cell phone or PDA. Of course, the mainstream of
development will be focused on the full configuration for studios, but
this architeture open news possibilities for Protux usage.
Also, Audio edition will be a consequence. Due this arquiteture, protux
will be able to deal with any kind of media, including Video and MIDI.
The presentation core will show musical sheets, for example, then the
Mustache project is officially dead, as long it will be one of the
pluggable modules for the Output and the Input cores.
