Well I guess I should plug my project 'ergates' which is at a pretty
early (but playable) stage. It's a game-like audiovisual synthesiser
created in Puredata, using Gem.

Basically you use a USB gamepad to jam weird noises and visuals. If
anyone wants to contribute instruments to this project I would be really
happy!

Best,

Chris.
