You concede my point! (Though I have yet to hear any
patch other than on an FM synth that doesn't sound like
bilge water tastes, so it could be your crummy harpsi
patch also. Les Barricades s a fantastic piece! The
emotional impacts, implemented as roller coaster rides,
are totally negated by using the wrong tuning --
TOTALLY.)

Peter Sellers movie about an inept modern (atonal) concert pianist who
is being secretly followed around by two infatuated adolescents. Dang
funny.
