Actually I did this, but I'd regard testing to be a bit more than that.
I didn't intend to badmouth Hydrogen or Lindrum in any way, and I do see
a place for them, but not in the way I work. Which doesn't have to be -
and surely isn't the way others work. Some people choose AMS, some jMax
or Csound, others use many specialized applications like drumsynths and
TB303-emulators. I have no problem at all with this, and I love seeing
this grow.

Yep, this is a problem. Still there is a lot of difference between
Sweep, Audacity, Rezound and Snd to make all their efforts valid.
