Patience :)

That's quite ironic, I started making SpiralSynth to stop myself from buying
one of them. I also borrowed a friend's Moog Rogue for a few weeks, while I
was designing SpiralSynth, I was hoping some of the magic might rub off!
They are such nice things to play with, even when your not really thinking
about what your doing you can come up with some really nice sounds. They are
just too damn expensive :(

The file it reads midi from is specified in the .Spiralrc file (I don't know
if that helps)

I've been planning to allow samples to be played like extra waveforms from
the oscillators at some point.

At first glance, this looks a bit complicated, but it would be great.
SpiralSynth could be either a plugin or a host I suppose.
I'll look into that.

Phew, I had been hoping to slow down development, and write some music - some
hope :)

Anybody out there know of any decent mutitracking software they can
recommend? (Not neccisarally feature packed, but stable and easy to use)

Cheers,

Dave
