[ubuntu-studio-devel] Audio Kit

[preppert at gmail.com]

Ralf,

Thanks for the thoughtful response to a poor post on my part.  That looks like an incredible synth and my main thought was how great it would be if it was available for Linux.  Apparently a large number of developers are working on it, and although I haven't seen any mention of it, hopefully someone had the same thought.  The video shows they started from scratch three times. I haven't used any au3 instruments - if it turns out that format won't work under Liunx, perhaps a fork could be started?  I'd be happy to work on it but have zero experience with virtual instrument programming.  My iPad is also very old and might not be able to run it.   Here's wishing success to the goals of Synth One.  

Peter
