Fernando,
   Thanks for the response. So far, no one but you and I have an
opinion, so it may be a while until others figure that this guy is out
there.

   I must say the depth of what's going on in this tool is really quite
amazing. He's really packed a lot in there. It's pretty well integrated,
but I am having some Jack related problems over time. The synth starts
out working fine, but after a while seems to develop xruns. I've also
noted that changing controls creates xruns sometimes.

   We'll have to see if others have the same experience.

   Once again, thanks to you for sparign me from another build!

Cheers,
Mark
