Thanks for the feedback, Scott!

As for the rumors, the story I heard some decades ago (I think I even 
read it in the German issue of Keyboards magazine, but I would have do 
dig deeply to verify that) was that at least one particular sound 
resembling a plucked wire of the Golden Gate bridge was first modeled 
using Karplus-Strong, then analyzed and transformed into according DX7 
parameters.
