A model that builds on suchs chains, but allows additional routing could be nice. Maybe with 2 oscs and filters per chain. It should allow easy layering and rich CC support. Another concept worth consideration would be a routing matrix, with amount of influence in the cells. I asume low to medium complexity setups could be done very fast, while a graph should be superior for more complex things. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil
