I'm not a CS person, I'm a math and engineering person. I truly and

honestly believe that it will be easier for me to start from scratch

than to try to wrap my head around someone else's codebase.
That being said, I mentioned starting with a code framework that would

allow the creation of any kind of synth or sampler, not just the one I

have in mind (which is inspired by the upcoming Omnisphere more than

anything else). I may not be a CS guy, but I do understand the value of

planning in advance.
Nevertheless, anyone who quotes John Miles in his sig must be a cool

person, so I'll certainly wait a bit for other ideas and advice before

barreling off on my own. Thank you for the reply.
