I'll start contributing patches soon. My wife has started working so the next big purchase will be a computer.I've been programming like crazy. My goal is to get rid of most of the presets. I've been using preset #33, Wonder, quite a bit. Works well in a lot of funk settings. Also with the ribbon controller set to filter (I think it is in the factory setting but I may have tweaked it) you can use Wonder to go from a funky percussive sound to a nice abrasive lead sound. I took scene two and gave it a little more sustain for a bell-like quality. With the modwheel set to morph you can get a variety of useful sounds out of one patch. Survived a great freebie wedding gig last night. It started with the bassist getting a shock from the mic, then the power blew (at night outside)the drum set broke, an accordian player sat in with us, our Space Animal bassist "fell asleep" after numerous Margeritas. We ended our set with the drummer's stool breaking and him falling over backwards. Yee ha! The cheeziest moment of the night was when we played Stand By Me with the accordian player doing an extended solo and me with a home-made string patch playing bad 70s pads behind him.
