>P.S. -- Scott, your "self running" patches need to be kick started?! :-)
I often have "events" that get triggered from random sources.
Sometimes, those random sources aren't happening often enough when
I'm tweaking a patch. I like to be able to generate a gate "on
demand" rather than waiting for the random source to generate one for
me.
But I also find microwave ovens too slow at heating my lunch; two
minutes is a long time in dog years.
