I'm very glad the program has worked for you so far, please send me any bugs you encounter, or any feedback in general. More filters are definitely on the way, but a more useful en route feature is giving each patch a pair of jack outputs (more on this below). I'm pleased that Specimen currently has everything you need, but I hope to present it in a vastly more useable and attractive manner with the new GUI currently being developed. While the current GUI may be technically complete (for very small values of "complete"), it isn't quite a joy to work with. > now i would like to know several more things, like how to apply > ladpsa plugins to the sampler for example if i want to use some of > the ladpsa filters... how is the audio routed from specimen back > into the midi host mixer (it displays audio in a channel called > rec... ) but it has no slots for plug ins... As has been stated elsewhere in this thread, you can apply effects to Specimen via jack-rack. However, since it only has one pair of output ports, using effects is a sub-optimal experience (to put it nicely). When each patch has it's own port, the situation will be much better. -- Pete www.gazuga.net ===================================================================== "I saw the movie 'I, Robot' recently, a film based loosely on a book written by science fiction author Isaac Asimov.
