Cgs synth

Thanks for the compliment.

One additional comment, the ring modulator feedback patch validates the
usefulness of analog synthesis. Try patching it on any soft synth - it
WILL NOT WORK! The initial output of the filters is zero. This is
multiplied against the X ring modulator input, so the ring modulator
always outputs zero. It just takes a little bit of noise, offset and
non-linearity in analog to get this patch going.
