For example the distinction between the control output of an envelope follower and the gain reduction output of a compressor, the follower is inteded to drive eg. a filters cutoff, wheres the gain reduction is just inteded to be viewed by the user as a clue as to what is going on. > /* Hint RANDOMISABLE indicates that it's meaningful to randomise the port > if the user hits a button.

The last sentance doesn't make sense, it should start "Randomising a control"... I think. Also, UK v's US spelling, is there a convention in the rest of the .h file? - Steve
