One key aspect of nekobee is that it responds to MIDI continuous
controllers. When I get time, I'll post the Xiosynth controller patch.

My work-in-progress "single-oscillator + sub osc, 24dB/oct lowpass
6dB/oct highpass filter and choruser" synth that's *NOT IN ANY WAY AT
ALL* based on a real hardware synth started life when I wrote a piece of
code to map sysex messages from my Juno to OSC commands.
