Now this is an interesting thought. For several months I now have an
unfinished Pd-tutorial in $HOME/lyx that explains my old angriff drum
machine. It is botton-up in your terminology but that might really be
the wrong way. Especiall something like angriff is a higher level
object, that even an absolute beginner can "Just Use"(tm). Maybe I
went the wrong way and I should first explain. how to make some nice
drum loop, an then how this was done in the patch?
ciao
