[LAU] Time of music in a seqennser

I myself do have to admit that it seems to me most of the focus on Linux 
audio to be on recording bands and/or external hardware, and very little 
on the modern one-man studio. That's where things like the NI plug-ins 
shine.

As an aside, the one Windows VST plug-in to come out recently that has 
me completely blown away is one called Olga:

It was written by one guy (with one other person doing the artwork), and 
demonstrates the value of modeling the non-linear aspects (saturation 
and distortion) of circuits. Check out the "When the TV Breaks" demo 
song, if you'd like.

I'd like to pursue creating a single, really sweet soft-synth for Linux, 
but long-time posters to this list know my propensity for creating 
vaporware (I have a difficult time finishing projects I start), so I 
don't want to say too much. I'll just say I've been researching ways to 
emulate the non-linear characteristics of circuits and leave it at that 
for now.
