Have you noticed that the musical DSP seems to be quite complete already?

What I mean is that I find very little that plug-ins cannot do. There are all sorts of flavors and there's so much of them that one can surely create a lot of music with them.

I really wonder, whether someone might still be able to come up with some "breakthrough" stuff. It used to be reverbation, but even that's quite advanced already. Even FFT-based processing (which is quite modern) seems quite exhausted already, although evolving it to e.g. wavelets might bring something new to the table.

What you call FFT is not the real FFT, it's the SFFT which is a time-frequency transform, and that's what wavelets are (so SFFT can be thought as a wavelet transform as well).

But there are still many things to do, we are just limited by our imagination.

We're going to put some stuff into DUNE 3 that no other synth can do to the best of my knowledge. Personally I don't see the end of DSP for another 10-20 years at least, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is no ending at all ;)
