Ok Gilly, i did not like confield much but i am very interested in hearing
your *autechre* patches.
i dont have access to a nord modular, can i reconstruct the patches in
reaktor or vaz modular?
Perhaps you can post links to mp3 you derived from your patches.Again, im
very interested in hearing what your talking about.
regards,
