That example shows up on Wendy Carlos' "Secrets of Synthesis" CD (done with a Synergy, not a Buchla, but same idea) - she shows how if you detune slightly you get instant marimba. Fantastic CD. - Aaron ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Aaron Lanterman, Asst. Prof. Voice: 404-385-2548 School of Electrical and Comp. Eng.
