It's probably a lot easier if you have a full GDS with all the sliders 
(how many of those were made? 4? 5?) The Kaypro SYNHCS program is not a 
paragon of user-friendlyness.

Carlos did all her development on the GDS...

Oh, another thing the Synergy has is "software filters" - these work on 
the harmonic amplitudes, but they're in fixed bands so you can get 
specific resonances. The cool thing is you specify a different setting 
EVERY FOUR NOTES, so it's like a massive graphic EQ.
