It appears that you have installed amSynth, which is located here: http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net/amSynth/ I think the OP was referring to ams. Try apt-get install ams and you should get the package that was being referenced. And yes, I will personally worship whoever takes on ams and brings it up to modern glory. :) -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
