Re: New BEAST (demo)song: Artificial Aurora

[Tim Janik <timj gnu org>]

Hey Stefan,

that sounds really nice!
And the drums fit well, as you said. ;-)

About the SpectMorph integration, does that mean you can have something ready
soon to build & include a BseSpectMorph plugin in Beast by default?

And yes indeed, I also think user feedback needs improving if some plugins turn
out to be missing.

PS: I'm quite occupied with family visits and company stuff for the next three
days, I'll get to patches/etc after that.
