Hi
I just rediscovered ams. What a nice synth! Actually I started
implementing some of the few things I feel is missing. However it seems
to me that nobody's using, at least the mailing lists are totally dead. So:
1) Anyone using it?
Had just a brief look at it.
2) If not, why? Don't need/understand this type of
synth? Use something
else (what) instead? Technical reasons/limitations?
It gets nice results but seems a *lot* of effort to get them. Also I'm
used to fully polyphonic synths (both hardware & software).
3) If you ever tried what did you love about it and
what did you hate?
Did you find user friendly? Did it perform well?
Not at all user friendly - couldn't find any help information.
4) To rephrase 2): If the project was resurrected,
what would it take
for *you* to start using it.
Doubtful that I'd be interested actually.
5) Anyone (other than me) looked inside the code and
interested in
discussing certain aspects of that? Maybe even a joint effort to repair
the quirks in ams?
Scary stuff!
Finally let make it clear that I don't have the
time or knowledge to
take over development of ams. But I'm interested in helping with
bringing it to a state where it's a bit more usable...
Kudos to you if you do, but personally I'd be more interested in (what
you're already doing with) ZynAddSubFX :)
