   Hi!

KSynth is an "analog synthesizer" running under KDE.

 - It uses small modules (e.g. oscillators which create a sinus wave,
   various filters, modules which play the generated data on your speakers,
   mixers & faders, ...) which can be connected. 
 - New synthesis modules can easily be written and integrated. 
 - The synthesizer consists of two parts - a gui where you can connect the
   modules - and a low level synthesizer which can execute models. 
 - The synthesizer and the gui communicate using CORBA. 

You will need at least mico-2.0.7 and perhaps (haven't tested without)
egcs, to compile.

And hey - until now I have written code, not documentation, tutorials and
the like. So expect to figure out yourself what it can do and how it works
if you try it. ;)

Look at: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/kde

I think the projects really could need more developers now, there is lots
of stuff to do. The perhaps most important points for the future are

 - Getting midi events in there
 - Creating an "internal midi bus" over which all KDE/midi applications
   can communicate
 - Writing some kind of sequencing software
 - Creating a gui builder so that you can build a gui for your synthesizer
   models. This means as well visual feedback from synthesis. And of course
   those nice buttons where you can turn and the sound changes - realtime.
 - Thinking more about optimization.
 - Adding configure to the source tree, and make it work on various
   installations (linux with gcc-2.7.2.3/egcs-1.0.2/gcc-2.8.x and mico
   with/without mini-stl).

   Cu... Stefan
