Nay7, Thanks so much, man! The patch works great. I'd never used LFOs before, but now that I'm familiar, I'll begin incorporating LFOs and ramps into my patches.

OK, so I still haven't tried these options out yet, but looking at the picture, it seems that I'd only be able to switch presets in the n ± 1, linear fashion. so, my question is how could I change presets from, for example, a bass set at preset position 1 to a saxophone set to preset position 30?
