On Freeverb: I know this is an annoying limitation, but I tried to state
it everywhere I could: terminatorX doesn't work with stereo-plugins
(like freeverb). The "turntables" in tX are mono and therefore tX
support mono plugins only. On startup tX analyzes the available plugins
and loads only those with one audio-in and one audio-out port (and
informs the user about this on stdout). I'm currently working on making
tX stereo and maybe I'll have an additional stereo-effect-queue
sometime, too.
On the distortion: I noted this on playing around with some plugins,
too, but I didn't have the time yet to trace down wether this is a tX or
the plugins' problem. Hopefully I'll have some time over the holidays to
fix this if I can.

tX is using the HINTS provided by LADSPA itself. At the moment
LOGARITHMIC isn't handled yet. The handling of the parameters for
plugins happens through the same code that handles tX built-in
parameters which is why the plugins integrate with the built-in
sequencer nicely.

Well on evaluating GDAM do check out the GDAM-mininetwork plus
ladspapluginmaker, too. IMHO this is the *coolest* LADSPA-tool ever.
Looking forward to reading your article,
