Indeed, yes, Ernesto. That's why when listening to electronic music, I
prefer someone messing about with the sequencer and sound parameters as
opposed to just letting the sequence fly in a static look manner.
"Variations on a theme" instead of theme, theme, theme, theme, ad
infinitum, ad nauseum become ear candy instead of a nuisance.
How do you folks alter loops on the fly to prevent static build up? :-)

Bill
