Oh don't worry about it Larry, I'm not waiting for you to respond or 
anything, there's plenty for me to do around the house here between checking 
my e-mail and eating frozen dinners and the like. And there's a lot on TV 
too, so don't worry about me just sitting here all alone -- and cold, and 
feeling a little down. I'll be OK -- really.

But seriously. I think this could be an interesting area of investigation, of 
how this is actually used. Possibly a three position switch would be good 
enough for many applications. I've found myself playing with the pulse width 
when using my Waveshaper and Wave Multiplier stuff, but it might just be too 
many knobs to turn at once to realize your not really changing that much of 
your output.

And Dave's best description for this use was Clavinet sounds -- great idea!
