I love drones. I'm not even sure the guy is still in business but nearly 10 years ago I found a wonderful gig file for drones called Drone Archeology. I found it was still available, although 10 years later the price has gone up, not down. http://www.sound-ideas.com/drone.html Here's how I felt in 2002: http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/showthread.php/12715-Drone-Archeology-First-Comments?p=102312 and amazingly I'm every bit this position today. If _any_ synth could uield even a percentage of the fun I've had with this gig it is well worth investing time learning it. I haven't used whatever the Linux version of GigaStudio is in years but back in 2004 or 2005 it worked fine in the Linux app. Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
