I unfortunately can't, because swami is still graphics only (at least to my knowledge). Since I'm blind, that's nothing for me. To those, who favour the gnome accessibility point: I think Josh told me, that it uses some customised widgets. I'm greatful for any replies, since I've been looking for a good Melotron for quite sometime!
