Hi Mike

... a quibble to keep the record straight, based on your post, i
suspect that, like me, you have a REV 1 noise ring. As I understand
it, all new customers would get the REV 2 , which bears on one of your
points...

the REV 2 noise ring has a full-spectrum analog
 white noise output jack (not implemented on mine)which could be used
for percussive bursts

but to keep the game, on the level, your comment:

..is quite accurate
John Blacet implemented a switchable multimode filter on the noise
output of the Improbablility Drive and this can do double-duty,
varying the character of available CV's steps and , as Mike points
out, providing CV controlled filtered audio noise. The noise ring does
not feature onboard audio filtering 
(thanx for your comments, Mike)
