In 2007 Karsten Wiese and Malte Steiner resurrected the AMS project to
continue development.
Now we proudly present the first release since 2004, the version 1.8.8
RC1. Everything runs fine on our computers but we would like AMS users
to try this version and to report, maybe on the ams-user mailing list or
bug tracker at sourceforge, when something is broken or patches sound
suddenly different.
Alsa Modular Synthesizer is a free open source realtime modular
software synthesizer for Linux without compromises regarding sound
quality. Its Jack compatible and can include LADSPA plugins.
I tried it, but it wouldn't start since I don't use the ALSA sequencer
modules. I wrote a patch to fix that (attached) - if it can't open the
ALSA sequencer device it will simply not use MIDI, otherwise everything
should work normally.
Also, the JACK compatibility only extends to audio. It would be pretty
nice to have sample-synced JACK MIDI support.
Another wishlist item: LASH support.
