yeah, there's input gain and ext in volume.

the problem is the dynamics... i seem to need to send the signal through a
compressor (which i don't have) for it to make the evolver useful in this
end... the kicks distort the input and the snares and hats are barely
audible... it would help if they were on different tracks, but i haven't
bothered to do that yet...

yup... it took me about a half hour to make a patch that was just a
through for the external input, heh. but that will serve as a good
template for future processing patches.

bleep.
out.
