good point!  And it would be very helpful if that happened, since
I don't understand some of them fully (the FM machines especially).
However, I can still easily get great sounds out of them.

here's a run-down with then on the synth section of each synth machine;
I thought I'd do the transcribing and let others chime in as to
meanings. however, I listed the possible values for parameters which
don't have a 0-127 range.

GND->NOIS:
  - ST
  - RED
  - TUNE

GND->SIN:
  - TUNE

GND->GND: none

SWAVE->SAW:
  - UNIL
  - UNIW
  - SUB1
  - SUB2
  - SUBX
  - TUNE

SWAVE->PULS
  - UNIL
  - UNIW
  - SUB1
  - SUB2
  - PWID
  - PWAD
  - TUNE

VO->VO-6:
  - VOC1
  - VOC2
  - V-SW = yes/no value
  - VOIC
  - CONS
  - CLEN
  - CVOL
  - TUNE

  - SFRQ
  - TUNE
	
DPRO->BBOX (drums): PTCH, STRT, RTRG and RTIM; these are essentially the
same as the E12 machines in the MD, but the parameters effect all drum
sounds on the track

FX->REV:

  - DAMP
  - GATE
  - MIX
  - HP
  - LP
  - INP

FX->THRU:
  - INP

Geez! How much of a nerd am I? (actually, I'm just trying to avoid
working, it seems :-)
