Hi John,
That's an interesting thought. I hadn't thought about recording a patch's
individual components to separate tracks. In addition to changes in the mix, it
would also leave things open for additional or different effects processing at
a later date.
Come to think of it, you could even send one track of this recorded patch
back into the modular for even more patch tweaking. Hmmm...new term alert:
"Repatching"! ;)
Thanks for the tip,
Andrew
