  • DSSI is a virtual instrument plugin architecture for use by music sequencer applications. It was designed for applications running under Linux, although there is nothing specific to Linux in the interface itself. It is distributed under the terms of a combination of GNU Lesser General Public License and some BSD licenses, all of which are free software licences. DSSI is sometimes described as “LADSPA for instruments”. LADSPA is an audio effects plugin architecture for filters, reverbs and other sound processing software tools, whereas DSSI was designed specifically for instrument plugins that generate sound from note events. DSSI extends LADSPA by adding note event delivery, but it also adds predefined program selections and a method for plugins to provide their own user interfaces, both of which may also be used by effects plugins. DSSI hosts on Linux can also host some VSTi instruments for Microsoft Windows using the dssi-vst wrapper plugin, which in turn make use of the Wine compatibility layer. DSSI stands for Disposable Soft Synth Interface. This is partly because DSSI was intended to be a lightweight addition to LADSPA that would require little extra effort from authors of LADSPA hosts and plugins to support, and partly to avoid distracting too much developer effort from the GMPI plugin initiative. Perhaps as a partial consequence of this early offhand approach to publicity, the number of DSSI plugins available remains small. One of the major programs supporting DSSI is Rosegarden.
  • DSSI (Akronym für Disposable Soft Synth Interface, ausgesprochen wie dizzy) ist eine freie Plugin-Schnittstelle für virtuelle Instrumente unter Linux. DSSI-Plugins empfangen meist MIDI-Daten und generieren daraus Audiosignale. Gebräuchliche Anwendungen sind etwa Software-Synthesizer und Sampler. Zum Anwenden und Ansteuern der Plugins wird ein DSSI-fähiges Host-Programm wie Rosegarden oder jack-dssi benötigt. DSSI ist eng verwandt mit der Schnittstelle LADSPA. DSSI ist das freie Äquivalent zu der proprietären Schnittstelle VST von Steinberg. Inzwischen ist es möglich, viele VST-Instrumente für Microsoft Windows zusammen mit dssi-vst und Wine auch unter Linux zu verwenden.
