hi all,
i've been looking for an equivalent to metasynth which runs on linux.
does anyone know of anything in this area? in lieu of my finding
anything, i have knocked together some quick scripts which replicate
part of what it does, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it
already exists.
for those of you who don't know metasynth, it is a very influential
and unusual/creative piece of software which allows one to 'draw',
I do this using FingerplayMIDI on my Android-Phone connected to Alsa Modular Synth in Linux. It takes some basic knowledge and time to configure the matrix of FPMIDI to provoke something usefull in AMS but once it works it is absolutely hypnotic fun that poses a serious thread on bedtime ;-)
DIN is noise offers a drawpad-interface builtin.

aphex twin is often cited as the most well-known user, and it was used
in the film 'the matrix', and there are others, possibly autechre if i
recall correctly.
