That's what everyone says...:-)

You could do it in thirds, and take a break between them. That's usually
what I do, although I mostly read 225 patch targets for testing.

Doing it that way, you can tell yourself that it's just like reading 3 of
the 225 patch targets; and since reading one of those is fairly easy,
suddenly the 729 patch target won't seem as hard.

>(and a higher table and i guess i should cut down the size of the paper also, it's like 2 x 4 ft.)

Sounds like you printed out the large, 1-sheet 729 patch target? That's
definitely the easier one to read.

If you scale it so that it's printed out Super-B sized or so, that's a
reasonable compromise; you don't have to cover as much ground that way.

>are you hanging out at ur laptop or something? you replied super fast and it's late too (9:05 pm in Vancouver!)

12:30 am here, but I'm not done for the night yet. Lots of late nights go
into PFP development, as many beta testers will know from the date/time
stamps that show up in the various application builds and support files..:-)
And even the release application, and installers, now that I'm looking
at them.

You're welcome!
