I like all the connotations of the name. Your drums are on acid would
also be cool, but the name is already popular for another style. ;)
It's really related to hitting a drum though. I think it's catchy. I
may however have wacky taste in names. Khagan is one of my other
programs the word meaning khan of khan. Do you know what the word gimp
means btw? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimp_(sadomasochism)

Smack 0.3 is now out. Smack is a drum synth, 100%
sample free. It's
built with LADSPA plugins and the Om modular synth. 11 new drums in
this release thanks to contributions from Thorsten Wilms. These are
mostly covering a harder sound though include some nice metallic
percussion, shakers and snares.
You need cvs om to use this release.
Get it at http://smack.berlios.de/
Please don't take this as a massive flame or anything, it is merely intended
as feedback. I have not tried your application yet, largely I realise
because
I find the name you have chosen for the project utterly repellant. The word
has no positive connotations for me at all. I wonder if more people would
try, what otherwise appears to be a very cool idea, if you used a name that
sounded more appealing?
Compare the phrases "Now I'm going to teach you how to use a GIMP mask"
and "Those drums would sound better on smack". I'm being deliberately
ironic
here, but my serious point is how do they make you feel?
