Thanks all for listening.
@ Wookie - Been burned by system disk failure before, not fun. I now have a backup procedure which I follow religiously especially if I change any settings.
@ Synkotron - Thanks Andy. Sometimes when ideas are not forthcoming limitation always helps. We have all these nice toys to play with these days that you sometimes end up either preset hopping or endlessly twiddling knobs.
@ Midiboy - I remember those MOD trackers, there's still a few knocking around. It's amazing what they could do with those things and still only be less than a 1mb when finished.
