i, for one, used the past 3 days to write a python module named
"audiogui", which provides widgets to mimick the look and feel of
traditional audio hardware panels (i dare you to start an audio ui
design war with me). it will be the base for providing an engine which
renders panels from stylesheets, to be used with plugins of aldrin - but
of course that whole thing could be connected to an OSC library and
control any DSSI host.
the basic idea was to imitate the design seen from native instruments
plugins and propellerheads reason. of course i'm damn proud that the
results look so well ;)
here is a demo showing the three widgets DecoBox, Knob and LCD, with
different settings applied.

I personally love the "LMAO" parameter.
I want a real instrument with one of those!
And I can just imagine the complex sounds produced by varying the "WTF"
parameter.
Seems to me like a cleaner version one of the Metasonix products, which has knobs labeled
"fist", "ream", and "screw".
Anyway, I loved this, it made my night.
Looks pretty too. Nice work.
Although I'm looking forward to leaving GUI's behind and using ChucK,
SuperCollider, and Csound instead, possibly attached to a real control surface with real
knobs.
I have to say, though, by far the prettiest and slickest-looking graphics I've ever
seen on a Linux softsynth is on Bristol.
