Isn't ams a soft-synth that is controllable by MIDI? I don't think it's capable of doing anything with PCM audio input, you'd need a MIDI keyboard or something like Rosegarden to control it. If you want to build an effects rtack for your bass, you should use jackrack -- it's lets you stack up LADSPA plugins like you would an effects rack and process audio. > Also, is there a module that will convert an audio signal to CV?

MIDI is easy because it is a defined protocol with a finite set of instructions... you are basically doing a digital-to-analog conversion of MIDI control instructions to a defined set of voltages to control a synth. There might be something out there, but I daresay it's probably not software-based. You are probably better off getting a bass or guitar MIDI interface and using that. -- Brett
