[LAD] Fwd: Devs needed for opensource virtual analog softsynth idea

[Sascha Schneider]

I love attractive UIs like those from Bristol, have to try those ...
I want to use them in f.e. Qtractor or Rosegarden as softsynths with
some live character with external midi-controllers or with automation.

regards, saschas
