 (p [In the past two days (actually, mornings and evenings) I have
     been working on porting the famous ,(ref "http://mda-vst.com"
     "mda EPiano VSTi plugin") to the LV2 plugin framework.  The sound
     of the electric piano is very inspiring.  Hear for yourself:])

 (p [You can ,(ref "http://soundcloud.com/rekado/chinese-tune"
     "download the recording from soundcloud").  The recording was
     done with ,(code [arecordmidi]) while routing all incoming midi
     events through the LV2 plugin.  An instance of ,(code
     [jack_capture]) was used to record the generated sound
     simultaneously.  If you want to compare my port of the plugin to
     your favorite synthesizer, you can ,(ref
     "/downies/music/chinese-tune.mid" "download the midi file
     here").])

 (p [The LV2 port can be ,(ref
     "http://git.elephly.net/software/lv2-mdametapiano.git"
     "downloaded from my git repository").]))
