Do You Know If Carlos Made the presets of any synth? That Person Has 
The Enough Background In Math And Physics To Program Any Synth. (Taking 
In Consideration That Was the Very First Person To Play A Moog and Help 
Designed It). Talking About Spending 4 Hours Making A Patch: Think 
Making A Cord With A Monophonic Synth. It Was Done In A Tape Recorder, 
Note By Note... That's How Switched On Bach Was Done! That's Was A Long 
Work. And The Result Is Just Amazing! Even for Today!
