(Hello list, hello Nil.) Done! Easy. MESS already has a mechanism to break up patch listings into banks, and thankfully Deicsonze takes full advantage of it, the only MESS synth to do so. Deicsonze's track info patch popup is cool now! BONUS: ----------- Improved: Deicsonze soft synthesizer: Fixed crash, bugs, I finally got around to adding LADSPA plugins and controls! TODO: No plugin control automation yet. Some oddities with log slider/entry ranges. Maybe add delay wet/dry. Nil if you are out there I hope you find time to try it. It's more rockin' now, and I will try to fix some more bugs. You know, this synth is very cool. It is more advanced than some. Ever consider porting it to say, DSSI or LV2? I think it might raise some eyebrows. (For that matter, here in the year 2012 it is conceivable that we could port all our MESS synths to something else modern and remove MESS!)
