Description:

Using gAlan is much like setting up an effects-chain for, say, a guitar.
You choose the effects units you wish to use, lay them out, and then
connect them to each other, starting with the guitar, threading through
the effects, and ending up at the amplifier (and ultimately the speakers).

It's not just limited to acting as an effects-chain, though. You can also
configure it (using the same basic principles) to act as a mixer, a
sample-sequencer or drum machine, or a synthesiser capable of emulating
various analogue systems. The examples page and the tutorial provide some
descriptions of some of the ways gAlan can be used. The User Guide has a
section on common motifs in mesh design which may also give an impression
of how gAlan works.
