Re: Divergent Sounds

The reason I called the previous posting "Divergent Sounds" is the 
following (I forgot all about it before): -

At a release of the Fairlight a speaker commented that this was the 
first instrument that he had encountered that did not tend to 
converge to its own natural sound formants. The Fairlight, he said, 
was divergent - every time a voice was modified it opened the door 
to a whole new family of sounds and encouraged the user to explore.

The speaker was one Dr. Moog. could you ever wish for a better 
endorsement for a new instrument?
