[linux-audio-user] Non-graphical synthesiser solution?

Hi there, I am toying with the idea to re-start playing with digital synthesis once again (haven't done so in a while now). Judging by the number of synth packages in the Debian archive, there is more than a few out there; however, most of them (bristol, ams, etc.) seem to be GUI-controlled (and hence require an x-server), which is not very practical for me. I can think of a few ways to rig up a modular synth with, say, ecasound, jack, and aconnect, but I was wondering if there is any programme, package, or idea already out there to make this easier. I also started playing with SuperCollider today, but language-driven synthesis are, by necessity, more of a long-term endavour, and, right now, I'm looking for more of a modular synth solution, especially LADSPA-driven. Any idea? Thanks, S.M. -- smassy(a)sdf.lonestar.org
