I fixed the bug and uploaded a new tarball (0.4.1, it's available on the same webpage now). A way to avoid it with 0.4.0 would be to run './configure --with-dssi-dir=/usr/local/lib/dssi/' (or any other directory where you want to install it, the / at the end is the important part) and then 'make clean' and 'make install'. > * If the default settings could be adjusted, it would give a more > immediate start: > ** Decrease Gain (! ;-) > ** Decrease Delay > ** Decrease amp release time I'll look into this. Default port values are a bit tricky with LADSPA (and DSSI) plugins, to set an exact value I think you need to use an RDF file (which some hosts don't support). Most DSSI hosts will select the first available program when starting the plugin though, and with the above fix the programs should actually be loaded, so that might give you the somewhat nicer default settings of "Factory preset 0". > * I noticed that parameter changes take a long time until these take > effect.

Same when playing with the UI controls Most of the parameters have an internal slew limiter to prevent clicks and pops that could be generated if the parameters were changed too fast. This slew limiter might need some tuning, I'm really bad at hearing latency. I'll try to make it a bit faster. The pitch bend is a special case - I just discovered a rather embarrassing bug. The fundamental frequency will _never_ change faster than the portamento time allows, so if you move the pitch wheel fast the frequency will lag behind. This is an easy fix though. > * Can it be switched to be polyphonic? Not without some more code. I haven't really planned a polyphonic version, but I might make one at some point in the future.
