================================
that would work, since the modes are (or can be) exclusive... probably not
everyone on the list has a PC1600 (or similar), but i'd be happy as long
as i can select the modes using standard MIDI CCs. do you think you'd be
able to provide visual indication of which mode is currently selected?

==================
maybe you'll come up with a different way to approach the problem..?
even if it's glitchy, i'm sure it's still usable... i was just talking to
tom (the guy who i made the first moog-slayer for) and he reminded me
about a patch i wrote for him on a CZ-101... listening to it straight from
the CZ it sounded kinda cold and very digital, but in the foreground of
the mix and with some reverb (we probably used a BOSS SE-50) it sounded
sweet and analog and warm and huge. years later it still impressed him. so
i'd be interested in it even if it is glitchy...
and if you "fix" it in a later release, leave the option of using the
glitchy version... seriously... one never knows what genres of music might
be formed from an obscure glitch...
