I've used AMS quite a lot - I like the sounds and controls. However, my
review of the code revealed that the gui and synthesis engine were fairly
tightly entertwined. The *.ams files refer specifically to the gui
elements that are present in the patch. It does this because when you save
a patch, you are not only saving the patches circuit, but also the look
and feel of the patch, i.e. the positions on the screen at which the
various elements have been placed. This is nice since one can load a patch
the next day/week/whatever and have a visual reminder of the patch and its
connections.
But that is not true of the LADSPA based modules (obviously) and they are
intended to be the bulk of the synthesis longterm.
