Any idea? Modular synth, no (mandatory) GUI, LADSPA driven? http://om-synth.nongnu.org Everything is controlled through OSC. There are Python and Supercollider bindings included in the source tree (SC is only in CVS though, as of a few days ago) if you're into that sort of thing, as well as a simple command-line patch loading client (and a full out GTK one). There's no command line patch saving client yet though.. mail the list or put it on the wiki if you need one Disclaimer: I wrote it :) -DR-
