Try starting with the Andromeda or (shudder!) an FM synth...eek! Things
get a little complex there.

Synths like the PolySix and Minimoog are joys to program because they're
rather limited, comparatively speaking. Although, yeah, it's nice to have
a starting point. Someone posted a while back how to get nice string
sounds out of the P6---thanks! Good starting point for those kinds of
sounds. (It'll be in the archives.)

If you need the original patch "tapes" to restore the factory patches to
your machine, the .WAV files are available at http://analog.no

"Patch" is accurate as far as I'm concerned.

Then again I still call the memory in my PC "core"... :-)
