Hey Ed. Thanks. That's encouraging. Yes it's all one patch. Performed 
live. No overdubs. No automation. A lot of the timbre change is 
accomplished with the scene morph. Then there's a little envelope and 
filter tweaking. It's the best patch I have done. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes it really could be more. The B motif really is crying out for a 
pad (chords) behind it. The implied harmony is quite strong if it was 
made explicit, but it doesn't really come through. And the Bach-ish 
section could use some high hats and drum kicks ....

I think I am going to work on this one a little more. For now I'll 
try to stay monophonic (true to the orginal intent) but write a 
little more explicitly. Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Jerry
