Hi there Bakis,

But how could you seperate the different note values in such a setup?

You have e.g. 7 different values (not even 8) in most diatonic scales, but
they go through at least 7 octaves, so how would you 'group' the common
values from different octaves?

I think it would be great if the AD/DA module could handle that task.

Greetings

Anton
