AW: [Jsynthlib-devel] matrix6 and other dev things

[Joachim B. <jba...@pi...>]

Hello,

Matrix 6 support is already there (also in Version 0.18). :)

If you plan support for the Nord Lead, please open a feature
request on the JSynthLib Tracker in SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=3D430007&group_id=3D41208&func=3Dbro=
wse

You can also post the progress and your code there. :)

Regards,
J. Backhaus
