Very cool! I've just been having a browse with my ears, and I have to
say I'm pretty impressed with some of the sounds you've generated with
this thing. I'm definitely going to be studying your code - although
I've always played, I've only recently gotten interested in
computer-aided composition so this stuff is very new to me.
