I'm sorry to say, but while of course I don't feel all too much of it, and of 
course that isn't a reason to use my free speech necessarily for placing a 
correction, but that little snippet is quite insulting, given the story thus 
far. So outside of rethoric, that is a technical/scientific insult of the first 
order that you're trying to force my direction.

I don't really take the insult, and am glad there's serious discussion, and 
people feeling inspired to share maxima code, etc. and apparently not 
overwhelmed or something, so they post about what interests them, so on the 
average, I am glad about the results.

I don't feel like scientifically defending the quotes I few simple quotes I 
posted.

As a serious remark about the content of many of the musical and signal 
processing subjects: it's a great idea to use well known *analog* synthesizer 
designs as the basis for (partial) digital simulation, which I though already 
before people like Dave Smith were writing award winning software to that 
effect, and which interested me long before the advent of a number of software 
companies that occupy themselves with the subject. As the suggestion is from 
some of my quotes, it would be good to have a potent, 64 bit circuit simulator 
which allows audio output, and explicit (parts with curves for parameter 
changes) or implicit (driven sources in the network, OTAs in replacement 
circuits, etc) time dependencies, possibilities for storing/continuing network 
states, and a choice of accuracy feedbacks that I've been hinting at, and which 
clearly isn't understood by most, which doesn't make me continue.

Also, I've suggested signal improvements, but they won't work without some 
fundamental changes to the most used algorithms, which I would prefer to be 
applied to some musical software, preferably Open Source. Those things are very 
audible, and it surprises me that people who may feel the need for improvements 
are so numb. Must be some limited musicians trying to rule the show, which in 
broader circles, which also can benefit from DSP for musical purposes is 
getting in demand. Just saying. Sounds like a simple statement of truth to me, 
and I think I'm qualified to judge that, so if you feel a bit humble, don't 
confuse that with feeling insulted. I do feel slandered, regulaly, and that 
*is8 a real issue for me, and the law.

T.V.
