ok i'll have to spoil the secret. making bouncing ball noises is really,
really, really easy.. you can do it with any midi sequencer, you just have to
be patient, algorhythms my ass... just go in real close on your sequencer and
make every note a little bit shorter in distance to the next in a pattern,
tighter and tighter till they make a little line, if you sit with it enough,
and tweak (takes 5 min max), then play with the pan, you will have aphex, ae
bouncing balls.. or take an sh101(or any other real analog) use the arpeggio,
and make a bass kick like sound, then start the lfo/clock so its real slow,
and then make it faster, this is the bouncing effect used in parts of the
autechtre peel sessions from the amber era....it is just that simple
