I'm desperately trying to get to grips with the mx44 synth
(http://hem.passagen.se/ja_linux/). It looks like it's very powerful,
and crucially it runs with low resources (I'm using a custom Ubuntu 8.10
on the OLPC XO laptop). Unfortunately mx44 is very undocumented, to
the point of several of the widgets in the GUI not even having labels.
Could somebody answer these basic questions?
(1) How are the 4 oscillators enumerated (left->right or top->bottom)?
(2) What do the unlabeled radio buttons and check-boxes do?
(3) Where are the frequency / pitch key follow controls? If I start a
patch from scratch I can't get an oscillator to make more than one
pitch. Perhaps I need to bring a second oscillator into play?
thanks,
mh.

1 2
3 4

which ones? iirc they all have tool tips which pop up under mouse hover.

Setting the frequency multiplier is quite an important one, if starting
from scratch (ie silence).
I'm not in a position to be running it right now so can't help much
further than that.
James.
thanks,

Sounds like a fun synth. Looks also that the Axiom knobs are
recognized. Some are outputting messages at the console, others are
actually modifying some parameters.

Hi,
did you installed the latest version mx44.2 found here
http://web.comhem.se/luna/ ?
it is less cryptic and has some new features.
