AMS looks like the answer to my dreams, except that I've never been
able to get it working - 3 different machines, 3 years, 3 different
distros (all numbers approximate), it segfaults within about 5 minutes
of playing around. Currently trying to get version 2.0.1 it working on
Arch64 (AMD) with jack. First VCO appears OK. Second VCO causes a
segfault, and a scope causes a freeze-up.

SO the question is - does anybody have a different experience to me?

Yes, I have for some 8 years now.

I use AMS on UBUNTU, Suse and Fedora installed as a distro-package but in most cases build from source. Always with Jack. with very differnt machines and interfaces.

It is not absolutely rock-solid but in 99 of 100 sessions it did, as expected, seq-faults are too seldom to remember.

Fons describes it as 'incredibly versatile', which suggests he managed
to get it to run for longer than 5 minutes without crashing, but is it
actually usable for anything?

I even used it for live-gis wich means: I trust it to run for some 10h under heavy load(laencies below 5ms together with many other synths/samplers/seqs) without unwanted surprises.

If so, maybe I'll try again next year
with a different machine and a different distro...

Maybe you should try some of the demo-patches available under /usr/share/doc/ams and/or on the internetz.

I usually do not build patches completely from scratch but use to open a patch known to work and modifying it as needed.
