Cool thanks Ex5te -

Hi all -  I just finished tweaking up a patch with all four sequences
changing the pitch of all the oscillators.  The sequences are setup to
reset at 16 steps, 15 steps, 14 steps, and 13 steps.   My calculator tells
me that will repeat after  43,680  steps.  :)    It doesn't feel like it
really repeats, but it does have a key and a groove to it.  I'll see if I
can slam it up to the Yahoo files section.  Its called EndlessOrg_A128.syx
-  It's kinda organy sounding, but it changes from percusive sounding to a
more soft attack.

It's kind of a soundscape.  I'm also ganging LFOs together in ways to try
to create much longer feeling LFOs.

Mod wheel brings up ringmod for a more steel drum precusion sound.
Pitch wheel changes filter cutoff.
Pressure brings in noise.
Velocity use env3 to put a blip on one of the osc.  - I normally start off
by playing a key very softly.  Playing hard puts a squeek at the begining
of a note.

Anywho - I'll see if I can upload it so you can here it.

< dumb question alert >   Ex5te,  people are also putting up patches at
your site, yes?  I'm registered on your site.
Where are the patches?  And how do I put mine there?  Seems like I remember
you saying just email them to you.  ???   For right now I'll put it in the
Yahoo files section.   I'll get all this figured out after a while.

Cheers - Robert
