I love it when it starts.

A little warning: frequency control is not problematic. However, if you tweak [metro], it can become slightly cpu-intensive. The thing is that there are 32 [snapshot]s...so, if you make those snapshots work hard, plus fader updates, things get slightly hot. But this is only if you push the metro down to 10 or 1 ms.

HI Landon, this is really great! Very neat idea

But if I may suggest one thing, I'd probably use some [send]'s and [receive]'s to avoid those patch cords above the [vsl]'s, although they also look very pretty (they remind me of this http://kaiameye.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/map.jpg)

Thanks for sharing it!

Oh, you're too kind.

Yes, I thought about hiding those cords but I felt they are part of the look of the whole patch.

I had this in mind once...and, after that, I saw sthg like this...somewhere...sthg related to physics. You know, they think about pendulums, chaos, and things like that. It seems that this idea of having moving sliders crops up here and there, from time to time, in many contexts.

I feel there are many other things one could do in a similar vein. In Pd, it is surprisingly easy.

Thanks!
