the best of AMS into Om would IMHO be a interesting development.
Unfortunately Om does not really support the logarithmic 'control
voltage' concept that is at the heart of AMS and of the analog synths
it was designed to emulate. The reason being AFAICS that Om's author
seems to dislike it and prefers linear controls - we had some heated
exchanges about this. Mixing both paradigms into a single program
*could* indeed confuse some users, but that is a IMHO a matter of
documentation and education.
Is there really any need for explicit support for logarithmic control in
the engine itself? All ugens in Om/Ingen except for a very small number
that interface with the audio and MIDI ins and outs are LADSPA (or
similar) plugins, it's not as if you can't connect a logarithmic output
port of one plugin to a logarithmic input port of another.
