Hi John and all: You didn't read the accompanying documentation with the git repository. There are three files in the root of the tree which are important to read for providing an understanding of the changes. The synth_name psudo file is temporarily been removed until we have some of the other issues with the new code resolved. The default synth on being built-in to the kernel is also temporarily removed. These will both most likely return in the future although possibly not as they were. Please also remember that I wrote in at least one previous message that this is extremely experimental code currently and not for the faint of heart. There are many issues which we are struggling with to solve and so the way forward is necessarily slow because of my lack of knowledge in some areas.
