To remove all doubt as to how computer lame i am, i have to report that i can't/don't know how to put up sound clips of the Martian war chants or anything else for that matter. Sorry Jan : ( I don't use computers for any part of my music making and the one i do have for web access doesn't have any kind of midi or audio input so i can't stuff it full of my inane voltage wanderings for the list to hear. Maybe that's a good thing. LOL Besides, it appears that interest in patch posting or discussion at any level has reached an all time low on this list. To wit: i put this patch up last week and there has been only one response..... yours. I guess everyone is either on vacation or they've trades in their modulars for software clones or big screen televisions and large campers. Oh well
kind regards

Hi John,
though I don't have an ASR, this makes interesing reading�now what about li=
stening to it?
Please, be so kind and give us a URL where we can listen to these "martian =
war chants"!
Thanks,
Jan-Hinnerk
