Wow, if it's by Fons, it's bound to be good. I suppose I can wait. The maths involved are probably way over my head, but if there's peon-level work to be done then I'll find some way to help.

I found something called jack_convolve too. What other linux convolution engines are there?

I understand that none are (yet) as good as VST, but are any usable now?
