I will definitely try this! And thanks so much for the suggestion. For many years I wanted to be a drummer and resented the fact that my parents made me take piano lessons. I was in love with rhythm and syncopation and when I didn't have to practice my stupid simplified classical compositions (just kidding) I would bang on the piano as though it were a percussion instrument (which of course it actually is, I suppose). I've written many a (juvenile) piece that was very heavy on rhythm and light on melody or harmonic inventiveness.
So, I'll lay down a piano track that is particularly percussive or rhythmic and try the Barry's Satan Maximizer first at your suggested settings, and then play with it some more. It will be fun.
Anyway, thanks again. (and thanks to Paul too, and to Lukas for his plugin suggestions).
