Hi!
Does azr3-JACK have a commandline or otherwise textbased interface to
control it? Sounds interesting.
IIRC at one time Lars had an SLV2 version of AZR3, which could theoretically work from a
command-line SLV2 host.

hi,
A -nogui option of some kind would be nice, but at
least the GUI can be ignored.
I found a MIDI controller number for every single
knob or switch on the gui, except for the mono
switch (please post it in case anyone knows).
This by far extends the MIDI bindings listed here [1]
for the original VST version by Rumpelrausch T??ips.
Thanks, Lars!

Yep. I also have a patch here that I used in order to change the MIDI bindings more to my
liking.
I still think it'd be more productive to improve AZR3, or to build something new out
of DSSI/LADSPA/LV2 plugins, than to try to convince some guy to change the license on what
is essentially an orphaned proprietary product. But whatever, it's all good, and
I'd sure love to try a JACK/Alsa-seq version of Beatrix.
The world of VST's is littered with orphaned non-free products like this-- awesome
little things that someone hacks together for fun or out of big dreams of future riches,
then loses interest in or otherwise abandons, but nobody is allowed to take them up and
continue with them.
I think the case of Beatrix, plus the counter-examples of PHASEX and AMS, all together
provide an excellent case for using the GPL for music software.
