Bonjour,

Pour ceux qui seraient interesses, voici un URL ou l'on peut trouver
un nouveau programme de composition musicale dans le gout de Rebirth pour
les connaisseurs.

Just wanted to mention a new program for fans of virtual synthesizers-
it's a Linux program called Freebirth, and it can be found at
http://www.bitmechanic.com/projects/freebirth/. It features a bass synth
with three oscillators (saw, sqr, sin), with each oscillator independently
tunable and with its own phase offset. There's also filter and amplitude
envelopes for the synth. Additionally, there is a rhythm/sample section
which currently allows triggering of five user-defined samples (44.1 raw
mono samples).

Admittedly, the program is still a bit rough around the edges, but it
definitely has potential. Best of all - it's FREE - as in GPL'd - which
means it comes with the C sources and you can change anything you want.
I definitely encourage any Linux users out there to take a look at this -
with some work, it looks like it could evolve into a formidable competitor
for the shareware/commercial synths available for Windows.i
