Sorry I didn't mention that.

Is the signal routing hard? I've used hardware synth modules with the college workstations, but never at home. Yes. It just appears as an ALSA midi port and a couple of audio ports, in and out. It does have a few limitations (separate capture and synth outs in ALSA would be nice, and I'd *looove* a multitimbral version), but for the money it does a lot and does it pretty well. Only downside is that the overall feel is a bit plasticky and the grey-on-greenish-metallic colour scheme can make the control labels hard to read in a certain light.
