I want a real instrument with one of those! And I can just imagine the complex sounds produced by varying the "WTF" parameter. Seems to me like a cleaner version one of the Metasonix products, which has knobs labeled "fist", "ream", and "screw". Anyway, I loved this, it made my night. Looks pretty too. Nice work. Although I'm looking forward to leaving GUI's behind and using ChucK, SuperCollider, and Csound instead, possibly attached to a real control surface with real knobs. I have to say, though, by far the prettiest and slickest-looking graphics I've ever seen on a Linux softsynth is on Bristol. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF4+Pte8HF+6xeOIcRAjm2AKCFLlhn/PY6M/3Py9gq4uPLfe0eQgCfbft3 UdnfD4yI8msM9wxLsp9A8v4= =xMCP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
