If you want people to be able to *hear* how a sound changes as a *particular knob* is turned, and simultaneously *see* the waveform on an oscilloscope, what medium would you suggest doing that with besides video?

I never made that claim.

What are you all talking about? The videos are for y'alls entertainment, not the students.

Maybe I should have waited until all the reports were in and have those posted before I posted the videos?

> That said -- thanks, Aaron, for your great job of building a synth engineering curriculum, teaching all those students so much, and sharing their work with us.

Thank you for your kind words!
