Some of the sounds created by Matthias came *very* close to e.g. to the classical Moog sounds. One of the key factors IIRC was the use of the high-pass filter plugin module, which was also my last contribution to AMS. On of the last things that Matthias added to AMS was a user-defined view of a subset of the zillions of controls that you can have in a complex patch, and a preset system referring only to the controls present in that view. This allows you to create a simple interface to a patch and forget about the signal flow window and its modules. Unfortunately that system - practical as it is - was added without much consideration for the consequences of how it was implemented, and so it became one of the obstacles to a much needed reworking of AMS. -- FA Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa.
