Cool, thanks for the info. Its not chiming in late anyways, since I have
yet to even start on the Akai stuff. There is still a little bit to be
done before this. Things are coming together fast now though. It will
probably only be a few weeks before it will be in a usable state,
although much bug hunting will need to be done, as the new API for
libInstPatch and many other things have not been tested thoroughly. I'll
be sure to notify the list when the new development branch of Swami is
ready for testing. I'm getting excited, since I've been working on this
stuff for over 6 months now without seeing any direct results in
functionality. I think the wait is going to be worth it though :)
Cheers.
