Benno,
   For many, if not most of my GSt libraries, I think that even the
current version would be almost usable musically if we had both the
sustain pedal and at least got rid of the annoying clicks with some sort
of built in envelope. With that much working, I'd probably start using
it with Pro Tools just to see how things really work. (I.e. - polyphony
issues, stability, weird little things that pop up but you don't find
until people really use it.)

   Granted, it would be one library at a time, and may not exactly
duplicate GSt's operation identically, but would possibly be useful
enough that we'd get a few users, like folks in the Rosegarden or Muse
communities, to take a more serious look and do some extended testing
like I'm doing.

   Don't go at this idea too fast, or look for too many people too
early, but just keep the possibility in mind. Instead of implementing
full blown ADSR's, just build in a fail safe click eliminator and then
turn us loose! ;-)

Cheers,
Mark
