[LAD] Devs needed for opensource virtual analog softsynth idea

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Sascha,

I found the AlsaModularSynth to be a great sounding "analog-ish" modular
synthesizer with a very direct and very usable interface.

I don't quite understand your vision just yet. Is the idea basically to
write an attractive and usable GUI for an existing synth (engine)?
