I was also looking at omsynth, but I've been trying to avoid installing stuff not in the DeMuDi distro, as that's always a slippery slide for me to apt-nightmares :) But it looks like I'm gonna give it a try, if only so I've got some support ie. the wiki. The synth 101 stuff was pretty useful too :) Thanks. Now, is anyone aware of an apt repo or deb package for omsynth? ;) -- Joe Jones -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU d-- s+:-- a-- C++ UL+ L++ E---- W++ w M t(++) 5++ tv D++ e+ h-- ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
