I've often thought it would be cool if the three tune tracks for
JSW128 could be made to loop independently (and I'm already of no
doubt that there are sound technical reasons why this can't be done,
but let me extemporise for a moment. It'll be fun). That way, you
could set channel one to the desired length, channel two one note
shorter, and channel three one note shorter than that, thus creating a
continuously shifting piece of music. I realise of course that even if
this were possible, you'd need a solid grounding in the far side of
music to even begin to enjoy it, but what the hey? I'd still be
willing to listen to it
