I remain convinced that Ingen is one of the most important projects out

interesting effects and synths for the Linux audio platform.
It would make a great platform, I think, for what I want to do, which is
a sampler geared for use with found sounds and samples "from the wild",
where you don't have the luxury of tuning things and recording huge
multisample sets.
But that's another thread.

It's all quite doable, but non-trivial, I
think. The Linux community in
general (and this one as well) seems to me to have a bad track record
when it comes to cooperating on large monolithic apps. A better approach
might be different people making different parts as LV2 plug-ins which
can then be brought together in something like Ingen.
And those LV2 plugins could be reused to invent new instruments too. Sounds
better to me than a monolithic synth :)
