thanks, Bill, fascinating stuff.  Just one question - is the "shuffle" 
mode the same as the "scramble" mode you mention below?

Also, is it possible to sync the rate of the shuffle, or control it via 
MIDI? I'm a long way away from doing anything with sync (or MIDI for 
that matter), but I'm curious, it seems like it'd be especially useful 
if that were possible.
