Yes :) The goal of libInstPatch is to support many MIDI patch based
formats. My plan was to add DLS2 next, but AKAI would be something to
look into as well. Is there free documentation on the net that describes
this format?

I'm currently in need of help with Swami/libInstPatch as its becomming a
rather large task for me alone, so any help would be appreciated.

The current development tree of Swami/libInstPatch has not yet been
checked into CVS, but I will do this soon and announce it on the devel
list as well as the web site. I believe the new libInstPatch API is
rather good, although it probably needs some work in the area of
optimizing the multi-thread support, testing, and bug squashing, etc.

Did you have a specific question about compiling Swami from CVS? Come to
think of it I think there were a few iiwusynth driver fixes that haven't
gone into CVS yet. As there are things going on with iiwusynth CVS I
will make sure Swami CVS works with it. Cheers.
