SynthModules

Thanks for this, Brice.  I think I will convert my little CALCNOTE 
template to LONGs and see what happens...

I also re-read the Good Doctor's 96 and understood much of what he 
said more fully.  Especially the IF/THEN syntax thing that DROVE ME 
FRICKIN NUTS for about twenty minutes until I rediscovered the issue.

Is there any documentation for the IDE, BTW?  I haven't seen it on 
the site or in the download...

Mike
