Re: VFX contact established, issues remain.

Ok,
Progress!
I have 8 controls mapped, filter1 cutoff and filter2 cutoff, lfo
depth, rate, delay, noise src, pitch lfo mod.

How do I do buttons?
like filter#1 type with two options?
Filter#2 type with 0-3 4 options?
lfo waveshape with 0-6 or 7 options, a button that will incriment?

etc...

Thanks, 
Kip
