Hello Harry,

You're welcome. And apparently my Dubstep instrument for Yoshimi was
good enough to get included in the latest Yoshimi release (thanks
Cal!!). If you want to control the wobbles it is possible to set the
Freq. LFO to zero and insert a Phaser effect in the chain and control
its LFO with NRPN messages. I took a look at it yesterday but apparently
my M-Audio Oxygen doesn't send out correct NRPN messages so Yoshimi
doesn't pick them up or I simply don't understand how to properly
program the right NRPN stuff). But I just got some new toys in (a
Behringer BCF2000 and a BCR2000), hopefully I'll get it to work with
those. Otherwise it would be an option to fire up an instance of
Rakarrack with a Phaser effect and control the LFO of the Phaser with MIDI.
I've also taken a look at PHASEX but I don't grasp how everything is
routed internally so I just don't manage to get anything useful out of it.
amSynth is not suited for Dubstep wobbles, it simply lacks the proper
functionality.
Maybe Bristol could pull the trick too.

For those who have no clue what this is about:

regularly at our parties)

Best,
