Mainly, INstrument GENerator, and the fact that it's like "engine".

Yeah, if I had a nickel for every time that's been mentioned to me I
wouldn't have to beg for donations anymore :)

I actually like the connection in a way, since the whole point of Ingen
is to be a minimal framework in which to wire up generic plugins to do
what you want. The plugins are the rock stars, Ingen is just the stage.
I also have a penchant for Zen, and there's certainly no thing wrong
with no thing ;)

It's also the company in Jurassic Park. One day I'll make it to #1
Google hit. One day!
