Thanks!

Does anyone have an opinion one way or another about this? On one 
hand, just using blocks makes a lot sense, mostly because it can get 
pretty ambiguous as to what group things belong in. What does the 
frequency shifter belong in? Osc or Filter? On the other hand, I think 
it's a little easier to read with some catagorization.

In my example patches I use a circle (osc) to both represent a 440 
(it's in self res) and a 300.
