It doesnt have to be that expensive, but you have to design your system that way from the ground up, and it basicly rules out conventional plugins. > Modular synths that generate code from graphs are a rather > interesting approach, though... :-) Aren't they :) There is a good one for Windows, called SyncModular. You can drill down right into the basic filters and see a bunch of z^-1's and amplifiers :) You could do better under linux with Free Software, but I just dont have enough free time, or GUI skills :( Linuxsampler is using a similar approach, but its not blockless (and it wouldn't be noticably better if it was). Still if anyone ever wants to tackle this they can have a fair chunk of my spare brain cycles. - Steve
