Hey, the broken-record technique works ;) I believe that its possible to use RDF to express all the annotations neccesary to make complex (DSP) modules from LADSPA.

Er, actually several of the compaines make hardware that is interoperable, including Doepfer. You can plug AS modules into a Doepfer frame for example. In ultra pedantic mode its generally 1v / octave. Historically there was also 1.2, but its pretty mcuh died out. - Steve
