Hello loopers, I found found another great toy out there - a TB-303 analog
syth 
emulator. One of the cool things about this one is that is works in
real-time 
(i.e. the oscillator, filter parameters etc. can be changed in real-time
without a sound 
delay), which isn't usually the case with PC synthies.
Neddless to say, I've been skipping sleep the last few days ;-)

This puppy is called VAZ (for PC) and a freeware version is available at

http://www.software-technology.com

The full version (VAZ plus - which I haven't bought yet) offers multimode
filter, 
portamento, ring modulator, up to 8 sequencer patterns, patch storage and 
even polyphony - sounds like even less sleep...

... and I'm not plugging for them

Talk to youse all later....
