Or rather NI BATTERY :-) Honestly, I was playing with xsynth yesterday. It's quite difficult to get any decent sound out of this proof-of-concept DSSI plug-in, but it's good that it exists. Actually, I was hoping that developers would be more interested in DSSI, but xsynth seems to be the only one for 2 months since the last DSSI release. So I'm a bit disappointed, but hey, I haven't lost my faith yet :) While I'm here, I didn't manage to start native Xsynth's GUI. I s'pose it should appear after clicking 'Editor' button, but it didn't work. I'm using Rosegarden 0.9.9, but soon will move to CVS.
