I admire your tenacity - but do you remember perhaps a few years back when I 
told you the design is kind of a dead end ?

the implementation of "additive" on the original K5 is in itself inadequate for 
making much more than the integer-related partial (boring) sounds that it came 
with in the first place

see what I mean yet ?
