The closest I've come was ReBirth. Nice sound, but it was a great example of how a UI copied off hardware can suck in a computer :) > Got any other info on the accent feature?

No, I don't really know anything about the details on this, and your impression sounds plausible. But I guess there should be a lot of info out there, as the machine is legendary enough that some electronics geek must've traced through the schematics and simulated everything, or done some heavy measuring. > Another thing: how should the "dead" switch work with accent?

IMO it's hard to say without hearing both alternatives. Reading the code I'm guessing the "dead" swithc turns the volume envelope into a flat line, if that is true it would maybe be more logical to keep it that way also when accented. But that's just me thinking in a primitive "switch goes to circuit" kind of mindset. -- ra...@iki.fi softrabbit on #lmms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
