Thank you for this clarification. We will of course have to see, what
licensing Dave Singer will decide upon. Maybe he was just so happy, to
have something useable ready, that he published the binary without his
source code, because he wants to clean this up first, and thus
violating the GPL. But I can wait a little bit. I don't care too much
anyway, because somehow I didn't like ReBirth in the first place.
Photorealistic interfaces make me shiver. I never worked with "real"
synths and thus I cannot appreciate a GUI that is made to look like
things one used to work with. I prefer the abstract interface of PD.
ciao
