- Is it usable on DAWs?
- Not really, but aap-juce-helio can be seen as an integration example.
- What can AAP do now?
- It works as a MidiDeviceService (depending on client, sometimes it may drop notes).
- It can take audio and MIDI inputs and generate audio outputs
- statically with no problem.
- dynamically, in general works but could involve glitch noises, depending on client app and other apps (e.g. when there is running MidiDeviceService that also occupies AAudio).
