PS: If Hexter should really emulate a DX7, take care of the book "Yamaha DX7 Digital Synthesizer" by Yasuhiko Fukuda, Order No. AM 39371, ISBN 0.7119.0653.x, it's worth the hassle. You'll be able to hear that FM synthesis is able to be better than most free sound samples for some kinds of percussive sounds. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
