Don't be giving away ALL our secrets! I use the features in Vision for this all the time. The trick to using this kind of thing is use a little randomness to texture things, but not use it to avoid having to think about structure and direction in the track. Otherwise it will sound like a random process. I think what they like about KCS is another feature that it shares with Vision -- you can roll up a pile of subsequences, and then trigger them live on top of one another according to your whim. -- "I AM PROBABLY THE LAMEST CHARACTER EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND, THE HUMAN RACE, OR THE WORLD IN GENERAL.
