On the plugin front, there are some advancements that you missed out on: Faust can now compile to LV2, so creating custom synths is a *lot* easier. Also Minaton is a subtractive mono synth from Nick Bailey, which works quite well here.<br /><br />I feel linux audio&#39;s progress is somewhat like being on a boat: when you look at the coast it doesn&#39;t seem to go fast, but when looking at the water beside you: one realizes the pace is quick :)<br />-Harry
