Heh, well I got to excited too soon. Running some of the more complex modules like Dynamic Waves with --poly 6 causes my machine (1.66Ghz Core Duo) to lock up with 100% CPU usage.

Also, I have to remember to turn off Follow MIDI mode before doing any kind of recording or performance, because if I don't, AMS segfaults.

Also, running monophonic patches like the Bass patches with --poly mode causes some outragous distortion. It's like all voices are stacking on top of each other, and raising the level so high that even with the AGC inside the PCM output module, it still clips like crazy.

But, hey, nothing's perfect, and it still sounds bitchen. Much fun has been had, and more will be soon.

I suppose I should play with Om some more too.
