Yeah, that would be great.  I've read through the archives and there are lots of 
good tips but it's hard to remember them all.  Some kind of reference page 
would be nice.  Maybe it could just be a collection of links to the relevant posts 
on the yahoogroups site.

I'm just starting to realize how powerful the 4 mods are.  At first I just ignored 
them, not knowing what they were for.  Today I made a patch where the Pan 
parameter was being modulated by the sequencer but I was getting a bad 
clicking sound on each step.  But by modulating the pan through a Mod 
instead and backing off of the mod amount a little the click went away.

I'd love to hear any creative ways that people are using the Mods.  There must 
be a lot of interesting things that could be done by modulating something with 
a positive amount of a certain source and then modulating something else 
with a negative amount of the same source through a Mod.  I hope that made 
sense.  I think I'll give it a try.
