Omins is a collection of LADSPA plugins geared at modular synthesizers.

The name comes from Om, but these plugins are not Om specific in any way, and Om does not require them. However most (not all) of them are only really useful in modular systems.

Omins is Free Software licensed under the GNU GPL.

Note that most people have been tracking CVS up to this point, if you want to see your requests implemented quickly and be involved in development in whatever way, I suggest you do the same. The Omins module is called (surprise!) "omins".
