Why would you care if you take PITCH and output PITCH?

No big deal, probably, but it's still an extra parameter that (almost) everyone has to deal with. //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .- The Return of Audiality! --------------------------------. | Free/Open Source Audio Engine for use in Games or Studio. | | RT and off-line synth.
