- The Calf project aims at providing a set of high quality open source audio
- plugins for musicians. All the included plugins are designed to be used with
- multitrack software, as software replacement for instruments and guitar stomp
- boxes (and not as single modules in a modular synthesizer, which was a primary
- design goal in some other open source plugin packages)."
