At some point I'll get into SC - there's no doubt about it, it's what I've been 
looking for for decades. At that point, either I myself, or, with some help 
perhaps from your good self, will get those filters ported.

It's not really a case of changing the API - there are various considerations, 
like how best to dither etc - which, if one is to write a "canonical" 
implementation of the MS20-style filter, one would really like to get right from 
the start.

SC also looks to me like the perfect platform for anyone developing hardware 
synths, assuming you can grab a suitably powerful CPU from somewhere (ARM 1GHz, 
maybe... just about), and hang some non-cheesy converters off the back of it, 
maybe add an arduino or something :)

Cool :)
