Nyquist!

Any Audacity users out there using Nyquist?

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/nyquist3

It looks very promising (and bonehead simple).

As I understand, Nyquist can be also used as a standalone sound synthesis
program but it appeared to me to be very 12tet oriented and would be a pain to
use it for microtonal music -- if anyone knows otherwise, feel free to correct
me.

It's oscillators can all be addressed in hz. Except its Karplus-
Strong osc, if I'm reading the tutorial on the Audacity page right.

Here's the manual...
