You say tomato... ;-)

You and I agree, I think, on the reasons for the early release. I don't
want to release it with any big announcement publicly, even though it
will get 'released' to people, since any distribution of the code will
naturally draw comparisons with GSt, Kontakt and other personal
favorites. I am thinking that not having enough features when it is
'announced' will bring bad press. I don't think the 1-voicce, no GUI, no
filters or articulation file support will stand up very well, even if it
works very well for you and I.

Better, maybe, to release it without announcing it, so that we don't get
people's expectations set too high.

Either way it makes good music. :-)
