Hey James.
I'm just giving it a try, and it's fun. I found a feature you didn't
tell us about, rightclick+drag to resize/reshape the box.
I gave three different zynaddsubfx/yoshimi patches a try, and it's fun
with all of them. I can imagine that it's already useful, at least for
adding random bleeps or whatever to pieces.

Nice work so far.
Regards,
