Could you also have a look at ams?: http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/ this is one great powerfull realtimesynth and it needs a maintainer desperately - you might even fork it, but to loose this one entirely would be a major shame... ??? Modularity is one of the fundamental principles of UNIX since day one - a pluginsystem like DSSI or LADSPA has the one great advantage above standalone-apps that patches and combinations of plugins can easily be stored in the hosts projectfile so you get the one thing, that is really one of the biggest drawbacks for Linuxaudio: total recall... It LOOKS great indeed, but even lmms does much better for me. Not very stable hard to install, not as many oppotunities as one would wish - has got a long way to go to get to the point, Muse offers since 2-3 years. To a certain point I agree with chris cannam on this: to clone a wellknown proprietary app just for the sake to clone/rival it is pointless. Why not use the freedom to do something, that is exactly as one wants it and thus not bound to resemble known schemes but to provide something as good as possible. Yeah!! Let us do that! :-) I'll be there all 4 days and intend to have some party saturday night :-) see you all Hartmut Noack http://linuxuse.de
