There was an amazing looking modular for linux (I
think) that I saw a
screenshot of ages ago, where the modules were made out of the maths operators
they represented - lots of neon colours. I can't find it now, does anyone know
what I'm talking about, or did I dream it?? :)
You may be thinking of John Dunn's mbox. Each module was filled with
cryptic extended ASCII graphics, winning the award for the most
inscrutable interface ever devised for a music app. It was a MIDI
toolkit, not a synth, so it may not be what you're thinking about, but
your description fits mbox too.
It was also a very powerful application. And yes, it runs under
DOSemu... ;)
