Hi Don,
Ah. . . glad you found the notes. In general I would create a new patch everyday and then tweak it to get upwards of 30 different variations. Then record while scrolling through the variations. Then edit and layer, mix and match to create each etude. As it turned out one day was spent on "pads" (etude 12 and 16), another on white noise filtering, another on ring modulation (pure rings) etc. These were either self-generating systems or triggered and morphed in real time with the 222e touch plates.
Oh. . . and here are a few videos to go along with some of those tunes.

cheers and best wishes,
