Russ,

You've summed it up very nicely.

But let me put your mind at ease on one point. The arpeggiator is
going to be very easy to code into the Poly. So it won't get in the
way of the SLFO's and other nice things that you mention.

And yes, the LFO's and SLFO's are going to be able to target the
following parameters. We can target them in real time since changing
any of these parameters does not require resetting the voices.

Waveform, all of the harmonics, DCO volume, VCF cutoff, reso, chorus.

We already target VCF and DCO frequency through the two LFO's. Once we
get two SLFO's running. Then we'll target the rate, depth and
waveforms within our existing two LFO's.

Once again, we're able to do all of this because these parameters can
be changed in real time without requiring resetting the voices.

It's going to be very cool to be able to sweep VCF up and then down
ramps using the SLFO's to change them.

And it's going to be great to be able to sweep the rate and or depth
of both LFO's with the SLFO's.

I am hoping that I will ultimately be able to have four LFO's and four
SLFO's. The SLFO's will be triggerable from MIDI too so that you can
start a sweep from a note on event or MIDI real time code.

But at the moment, I have to focus on the arpeggiator and a couple of
bugs in my cascade and MIDI soft thru code.

Mike.

esp if it comes at the cost of any other sound mangling features.

maybe some settings on the chorus (besides on or off!) are tops on my
list. Is PWM too much to ask? Probably. The midi soft thru sounds like
an awesome idea! I look forward to stacking my poly 800 MKIII with my
moogslayered 800!
