Hi, ams-1.5.5 is available from http://www.suse.de/~mana/kalsatools.html. It fixes a serious bug in synth.cpp which causes the machine to freeze when ams is started as root. Some example patches for the bode frequencer LADSPA plugin included in the new 0.3.3 version of Steve's plugin set have been added as well. Have fun !
