I must give it a try. I love drones. I'm not even sure the guy is
still in business but nearly 10 years ago I found a wonderful gig file
for drones called Drone Archeology. I found it was still available,
although 10 years later the price has gone up, not down.

Here's how I felt in 2002:

and amazingly I'm every bit this position today. If _any_ synth could
uield even a percentage of the fun I've had with this gig it is well
worth investing time learning it.

I haven't used whatever the Linux version of GigaStudio is in years
but back in 2004 or 2005 it worked fine in the Linux app.

Cheers,
Mark
