Hello, Ge and Kassen -

Thanks for the welcomes both of you, and thanks for the interesting  
software, Ge!  And yes, you've accurately pegged me as a SC user  
learning ChucK - i've been 'translating' examples in both directions  
in an attempt to learn the language.  It's been interesting to see  
how the languages differ - i love how intuitive signal flow is in ChucK.

Both of your suggestions are useful.  Is "Osc" in the documentation  
somewhere?  I don't see it on the online UGen reference list...

cheers,

jascha
