-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 To switch synths on the fly, you should be able to simply echo the new name to /proc/speakup/synth_name. I understand the modules are supposed to switch for you. If this doesn't work then do a 'modprobe - -r <synth_module_name>' to unload and I'm quite sure that echoing the name of the new synth to synth_name should auto load the respective module. The soft synth device can be built by doing mknod softsynth c 10 26 The ls -l entry should look like this: crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 26 Dec 21 12:29 /dev/softsynth Hope this helps.
