HCS - Point taken. I've spent a lot of time programming and performing my own interfaces and instruments in keykit and sync modular (as well as other music environments), so I understand the advantages of DIY... but I do think there's tremendous expressive power in being able to mix and match tools. There's also something to be said for not always reinventing the wheel (it's not unusual for plugins now to have 5-20+ person-years of development behind them).

PC - Thanks, this is what I was looking for! I'll give this a try. I would be interested LADSPA support as well.

WB - These modules look pretty interesting, thanks for sharing them.
