*****Metoo... Need to spend more time doing more "original" voices,
though. When I first started doing electronic music in MIDI several
years ago, I would only use a sound if I had totally invented it from
scratch... a bit fanatical. But that was before I was trying to
concentrate on *tunings!*

****They "claim" it can somehow do this. However, I am finding
_Infinity_ a totally non-intuitive product. In fact, Sound Quest
didn't even bother to consolidate the two manuals, one from the
earlier version of the product, and one from the later. Cheap. And
it's fairly expensive for what it does.

It's totally modular, which means it's best suited for a *sound
designer* who really knows sound engineering and can work with the
components from experience. I sure isn't in the manuals, and I've
read them at least *three* times!

I think even CSOUND would be easier to get to do stuff... at least
that's my impression, but I've had trouble with even that, so maybe
don't go by me! :)
