2004-03-19 by binaryzero1

Slide parameter changes from one step to another.

This sort of thing is accentuated well and highly noticeable if you 
place a trigger for a machine on step 1, and another on step 4... Use a 
machine that can have a very large delay, or one with large sustain (I 
think only the TRX-MA has a long sustain), and push it to the top.  
Then, lock parameters like mod frequency or mod depth or pitch or some 
such at extreme ends of their spectrums on step 1 then on step 4.

Hit play.
