Heh - I'll, ahem, 'take a look' *cough* at them. I wouldn't be too
worried about sonic similarity at first, just getting things working.
I never really thought of the idea before, but being able to convert
nord patches would be really cool - people have made some incredibly
awesome patches for that thing.
Plus, the fact that Om can run on a headless/inputless machine with just
audio inputs, and be edited via PC quite easily is tempting.. mini-ITX
completely free software Nord Modular replacement, anyone? :)
