Hi.

Interested to get people's opinion on whether Siren compares favorably to
something like JSynth. JSythn can be found at:


	http://www.softsynth.com/jsyn/

I have included some of the features of JSynth below:

Real time 16 bit audio synthesis at 44100 Hz using the CPU.
Library of unit generators including oscillators, filters, envelopes, noise
generators, effects.
16 bit audio sample playback can be combined with other synthesis and
processing units.
Easy to use Java classes for creating, connecting and controlling unit
generators.
Time-stamping to allow scheduling of control events for rock solid timing.
Sample and envelope data queuing supports flexible looping and splicing.
Audio input support for voice recording and processing.
Support for multi-channel devices such as the 8-in, 8-out Terratec EWS88MT.
Support for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. JSyn can be used from a Java
Application or an Applet using the Netscape Communicator, Internet Explorer
or iCab browser plugins. Click here for a list of supported platforms.
A number of example Applets are provided that demonstrate these features.
Documentation includes JavaDocs, an interactive tutorial, and a slide
presentation from ICMC'98
The free Developer SDK provides all that you need to develop JSyn programs
and put them in a web page.
Wire - a graphical patch editor for developers allows you to design sounds
by connecting unit generators interactively.Wire can export Java source code
that will recreate that sound.

Questions:

Does Siren have the notion of these pluggable "Unit Generators" as described
above?

Can Siren truly emulate a modular analog synthesizer.


thanks
