Heheh, good how yr dnb patch has only two tempos - that is so very dnb.

My favorite very 'pd sound' is made with a really simple patch:

[hslider]
|
[mtof]
|
[osc~]
|
[dac~]

Set the constraints of the slider to be between 127 and 200, and
then fiddle the hslider around randomly. There are many interesting
modulations up there. It fits nicely with a quote that Miller once made
about how users will always do unpredictable things like play sounds at
frequencies greater than the base sample rate.
