Okay, I think I am having a little difficulty understanding what's going on here.  At first I was under the impression that you were looking to port a VST plugin developed by this German magazine to a linux plugin format.  After reading your email, I think you're looking to develop a plugin port of minicomputer, whose features and UI will *parallel* those of another synth which is being developed by the magazine.  It seems that the VST plugin which I found (using a machine translation of the website) was *not* synonymous with the synth designs that you were pointing to.  So basically, if I am correct (and correct me if I'm wrong), the magazine posted design information about a synth, (but not anything else), and some unrelated programmer posted modifications of synths he previously wrote, which he made to fit the designs outlined in the magazine.  And you are hoping to *also* create a synth which fits these design goals, although you want to make it an open source linux synth plugin, rather than a closed source windows synth plugin.  Please let me know what of the above was incorrect.


So, for a starting point, I've imported the minicomputer sources into a git repository:https://github.com/jeremysalwen/Minicomputer-LV2

Thats all they have for the Tyrell, the planing of this synth and what
it should do is described as a sort of manual in one of the links
http://www.amazona.de/index.php?page=26&file=2&article_id=3191&page_num=2
here from page 2 the moogulator describes in detail what the synth
does. Sorry, all in german.
Urs Heckmann a german VSTi developer took some of the code of his
existing VSTi's and made the alpha plugin within 3 days.
This U-He plugin will be free- or magware but will stay closed source.

Therefor my idea after the post of Malte Steiner here was to take the
engine of his "minicomputer" from http://minicomputer.sourceforge.net/

Malte himself had the idea of making this synth polyphon and
monotimbral as LV2 or DSSI plugin,  but lacks time.

Advantage of this synth is that it is an absolutely lightweight.
