Okay... in the interest of generating some renewed interest, I'll add 
any new synths/changes people send to me.

I just checked out the SVN trunk, so I can add in whatever people want.

Oh, and I just checked... it looks like I might be a project admin, so I 
can grant SVN access to people.

Must be different. I didn't share my code with anybody because I was 
changing so much....

One of the things I'd like to see next is a mechanism to load just the 
synth drivers that you need. As things are now, compiling JSynthLib 
means compiling *all* of the synth drivers, and the same goes for 
distributing it. If we hope to add many more synth drivers, this is 
going to get out of control. So, we'll need to come up with a way where 
we can just compile/distribute the core JSynthLib app, and then have 
that app load the individual synth drivers from individual jar files or 
something.
