Hmm. Back when I tried AMS, I had huge problems to get MIDI input working, 
wheras with Om, it just worked. Later on the change to midi input nodes 
and 2 converter plugins (trigger and node) caused a short Huh? but makes 
sense.

Ever considered creating patches for a multitrack MIDI composition 
in AMS?

I do it all the time with Om and it works well:

Subpatches rule.


Still, I can't recommend Om, with it being unmaintained, with a choice 
between a horrible outdated version and an unofficial one with some 
strange bugs.

Ingen is not ready for use. Last I heared is that you might be able to 
chain up plugins, bu no saving/loading.
