Well, when I had this problem the builtin amp in AMS wouldn't go into
the ranges I needed, but I see some ladspa amps go into quite ridiculous
gain ranges.  Okay, that was a bad example then. :)

SSM does indeed have some really cool plugins like this.  I know scaling
is equivalent to amplifying, sum = mixer, etc. but I was hoping someone
out there had a collection of math plugins, say division, add/sub a
constant, trig functions, log, absolute value (rectifier?), etc. etc.

Signal mangling in SSM like that tends to make for some interesting
noises you wouldn't come across thinking about things from the audio
perspective.  It'd be nice to have that ability in any host.
