Gee, I never knew it was so easy to code a well sounding synth from

It sounds as if it's something you do over the weekend and then have a
running CS80 clone on monday. Even assuming some is familiar with signal
processing - I think it's a huge difference between any basic soft synth
that makes some noise and something Danjel is looking for.
