Got frustrated with my cz101's randomness and faff as a midi sound module, so made my own playable programmes. took inspiration from davinci of non prophets, looping small fragments of sound to make a tone.

created on the 500

Well, seems that sounds are good indeed, but why are they panned hard left and right? What's the idea behind this panning?

sorry, should have said.
its to give me individual outs so i can run them as seperate lead and bass into my desk.
if you pan them central ( about 2mins work keep spinning data wheel on pan and 'walk through the pads) then the sound is much heavier, but also mixed.
glad you like them
